The Winners of the #crypto-api Writing Contest Are…
Drumroll, please!
3rd Place 🏆
Assume you're in a restaurant to make an order for food or drink. You tell the waiter (the API) what you want. The waiter relays that order(API call) to the kitchen or chefs at the back(server). You save a lot of time by getting your meal without having to cook it, you are less concerned with the inner workings of the kitchen (server), all you need to know is how to order it, and in the process, you are saving a boat load of time. This is a simple analogy to help you understand just what is going on with APIs.
Congratulations Amarrny! You have won 200 USDT
