Where Are APIs Needed

Applications built using older versioned software, as well as currently incompatible software, need to have application programming interfaces (APIs) built that allow for those applications to interface with new applications. Additionally, new applications in the Metaverse, for which there are and will be many, need APIs so that they can interconnect to function. Building APIs can be expensive in that many might be needed, so it is important to know where they are necessary. Here, we discuss the areas where APIs need to be built.

In this chapter, we’re going to cover the following main topics:

Why APIs are needed for the Metaverse
Which APIs fix which issues
The cost versus reward of using particular types of APIs
