WEB 1.1 - Module 3: Lesson 2

<aside> 🤔 If an API provides a developer a route to interface with another platform—what operations can be performed through this**?**

</aside>

<aside> 💡 C.R.U.D operations work their way into just about every aspect of web applications! Including the way developers interact with other platforms/services.

</aside>

Let's breakdown some examples of how C.R.U.D manifests in API's:

• create - using the Twitter API to draft and send a Tweet in an application other than Twitter
• read - retrieving the current number of trains operating via the BART API
• update - Stripe payment plugins that allow payments to be sent directly from a web application to a bank account
• delete - censor bots capable of detecting (i.e. reading) and removing posts on Facebook that break the terms and conditions of usage
