API Overview
What is an API?
API stands for "application programming interface." It can be helpful to think of the API as a way for different applications to talk to one another. For most clients, the interaction with our API will be through the use of API keys.
AgencyBloc REST API
Since the API is based on REST principles, it's very easy to write and test applications. You can use your browser to access URLs, and you can use pretty much any HTTP client in any programming language to interact with the API.
