What it means.
An Application Programming Interface (API) defines rules and specifications that software programs follow to communicate with each other. It establishes request formats, authentication headers, query parameters, and response schemas.
01DefinitionSoftware Engineering Standard
A standardized computing interface defining interactions, endpoints, and data contracts between software components.
Where it is used.
The primary interface layer across the platform. `kls-rest-api` provides secured RESTful endpoints for the commercial frontend, while microservices communicate internally over Kafka event streams and JSON-RPC node connections.
Documented via OpenAPI 3.0 specs with automated JSON schema validation and JWT/SIWE bearer token authorization.
Read it carefully.
An API exposes system functions; it does not replace identity authentication or permission enforcement.
