That wasn't a very good joke...
So explain API from your point of view.

I apologize if my previous joke didn't meet your expectations. I'll try to do better!
From my perspective, an API (Application Programming Interface) is a way for different software applications to communicate and share data with one another. It's essentially a set of rules and protocols that dictate how two or more systems should interact with each other.
APIs allow developers to build new applications or features by leveraging the existing functionality of other systems or services. With APIs, developers can access a wide range of tools, information, and resources to build powerful software solutions without having to start from scratch.
On the topic of APIs, here's another joke:
Why did the API cross the road?
To get to the endpoint on the other side!
Let me know if there are any other topics or questions you'd like me to address!
List off the pros and cons of using an API
Include strengths and weaknesses
Add a summary of best practices as well as how paid APIs differ from free APIs
Include something about a zero trust policy and how you can go about using a service on a separate device without compromising any data you actually care about (add a footnote about the psychological play when offering up too much information and seemingly having vulnerable data, that most people would want to protect, to actually conceal the data that is most prescious)
