<h1>API Integration</h1>

<p>The majority of production Python web applications rely on several

externally hosted application programming interfaces (APIs). APIs are also

commonly referred to as third party services or external platforms.

Examples include <a class="reference external" href="https://www.twilio.com/">Twilio</a> for messaging and voice

services, <a class="reference external" href="https://stripe.com/">Stripe</a> for payment processing, and

<a class="reference external" href="https://disqus.com/">Disqus</a> for embedded webpage comments.</p>

<p>There are many articles about proper API design but best practices for

integrating APIs is less commonly written about. However, this subject

continuously grows in importance because APIs provide critical functionality

across many implementation areas.</p>
