What is an API Integration?
An API integration connects different software applications through Application Programming Interfaces, enabling automated data exchange and workflow synchronization.
In accounting and HR systems, API integration allows platforms to communicate seamlessly, eliminating manual data entry and reducing errors. For example, payroll systems can integrate with accounting software to automatically transfer wage data, or time-tracking apps can sync with HR platforms.
APIs provide real-time or near-real-time data flow, ensuring information consistency across systems. This integration approach offers flexibility, scalability, and easier maintenance compared to traditional point-to-point connections, making it essential for building efficient, interconnected technology ecosystems.
