Is there a public City lookup and API (RESTful) available somewhere? As opposed to holding our own City list.
APIs are needed to bring applications together in order to perform a designed function built around sharing data and executing pre-defined processes. They work as the middle man, allowing developers to build new programmatic interactions between the various applications people and businesses use on a daily basis.
There are four principal types of API commonly used in web-based applications: public, partner, private and composite. In this context, the API "type" indicates the intended scope of use.
API stands for “application programming interface.” An API is essentially a set of rules that dictate how two machines talk to each other. Some examples of API-based interactions include a cloud application communicating with a server, servers pinging each other, or applications interacting with an operating system.
API stands for Application Programming Interface. It can be defined as a set of protocols, procedures, and tools that allow interaction between two applications. It is the software intermediary that delivers a request to the server and then relays a response back to the client.
