CarrierFinder API Documentation
What is an "API"
We'll start off by explaining API for those of you who aren’t as familiar with it. API stands for 'application programming interface’ and is essentially is a way to plug two applications together. It is code from an application that has been exposed to developers so they can interact with the application. An API allows data to be pulled from an online source in a structured way. It must be structured on both sides of a request.
You, as the user, connect to an API through the endpoints, which are essentially special URLs that are supplied to you by the application you are aiming to connect to. We at CarrierFinder feel this is a vital addition toward making our product an even more valuable, accessible, and powerful for our users. The CarrierFinder API gives you the power to integrate with almost any application you would like.
