In modern day world, data and insights are the key players of any business growth. API led application development and SOA have been preferred solutions over time.

Here are some of the questions asked during the webinar:
1. How do you know if there is a change in API?
ANS – This is a common problem faced by many developers; if anyone is using any standard platform, they provide an option to create a revision of an API and create a special header. So, any application having any update shall be responsible to show that there is a change in the API. In case of an Integration Platform like APPSeCONNECT, the developers have already created a header to display that there is a change in the API (whenever it happens).
2. What will happen if my API is broken?
ANS – If you have an API and it is broken, then you shall get an error message saying that the API is not working. It can be either error 403 or error 404.
