In other words, you borrow instead of building. And, once your systems are integrated, data silos are replaced by seamless workflows of shared data and scalable processes.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As you can see, APIs are a vital part of doing business better. To get the most out of your APIs, it\u2019s important to understand which types are best suited to your needs.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This article provides an overview of the different types of web APIs as well as web service APIs so that you can maximize your <a href=\"https:\/\/developer.mozilla.org\/en-US\/docs\/Web\/API\/Performance\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">API performance<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Related: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.workato.com\/the-connector\/api-integration-examples\/\">Common examples of API integration<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Overview on Web APIs&nbsp;<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Web APIs are those that can be accessed over the web using the HTTP protocol and are used to extend the functionality of either a web server or a web browser. <\/strong>There are four main types of web APIs:\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/blog2workato.wpengine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/Workato-25-1.png\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/blog2workato.wpengine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/Workato-25-1.png\" alt=\"Using open APIs, a financial institution can share its customer data with FinTech firms to develop personal finance management applications, such as a budget management app. \" class=\"wp-image-42445\"\/><\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1. <strong>Open or public APIs<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>These APIs, also called \u201cexternal,\u201d are publicly available, meaning they\u2019re published on the internet and are designed to be shared.<\/strong> Organizations want third-party developers or partners to be able to easily access and use them to connect to data or services. Thus, there are typically minimal restrictions.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Open APIs allow companies to innovate and provide better services to their customers. Take digital banking, for instance. Using open APIs, a financial institution can share its customer data with FinTech firms to develop personal finance management applications, such as a budget management app. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As a result, the FinTech firm gets access to rich data, the customer gets a helpful budgeting tool, and the financial institution has higher customer satisfaction.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. <strong>Partner APIs<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Partner APIs are essentially open APIs in terms of design, but they can only be accessed by third parties with exclusive permissions or licenses. <\/strong>These APIs are typically used to sustain a specific and strategic business-to-business partnership and often feature in a software-as-a-service (SaaS) ecosystem.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A use case for a partner API is the app Checkr, which allows companies to perform background checks on employees and contractors through a third party. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This gives the company confidence in the veracity of the report while saving them the considerable time and expertise it would take to do the work themselves.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3. <strong>Internal or private APIs<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Internal APIs are used within an organization to share resources or enable functionality between services<\/strong>. In contrast to open APIs, they\u2019re hidden from external consumers and only the developers within the organization have access. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Often, these APIs improve productivity across business lines, efficiency of workflows, and the overall agility of the enterprise.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Just one example of an internal API at work is in the case of provisioning for new employees. During the onboarding process, HR can easily share new employee records with IT in order to set up permissions and grant access to the company\u2019s systems and applications.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Related: <\/em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.workato.com\/the-connector\/what-is-api-integration\/\"><em>A guide to API integration<\/em><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/blog2workato.wpengine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/Workato-26-1.png\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/blog2workato.wpengine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/Workato-26-1.png\" alt=\"Composite APIs are often used in microservice architectures in which a single task might require data from multiple applications. \" class=\"wp-image-42446\"\/><\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">4. <strong>Composite APIs<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>This type of API is actually a sequence of tasks that batch different data and service API requests into a single call.<\/strong> These APIs facilitate the speed and performance of a multi-endpoint request.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Composite APIs are often used in microservice architectures in which a single task might require data from multiple applications.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Now that we\u2019ve covered the types of web APIs, we can take a look at the various architectural styles used to construct them.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Web service APIs&nbsp;<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">An API\u2019s architecture indicates the constraints by which it operates and, therefore, the situations to which it\u2019s best suited. Here are four common web service APIs and their basic architectures:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>1. REST<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.workato.com\/the-connector\/what-is-a-rest-api\/\">REST<\/a>, or representational state transfer, APIs are widely used. <strong>A REST is a set of design principles, not a specific protocol, and it is these principles that define it. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">All REST APIs adhere to the following architectural constraints: a decoupled client\/server, statelessness, are cacheable, have a uniform interface, and operate as a layered system. REST APIs are highly flexible and can utilize a variety of data formats.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/blog2workato.wpengine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/Workato-27-1.png\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/blog2workato.wpengine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/Workato-27-1.png\" alt=\"A REST is a set of design principles, not a specific protocol, and it is these principles that define it. \" class=\"wp-image-42447\"\/><\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. <strong>SOAP<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">S<strong>OAP (simple object access protocol) is a commonly used web protocol that uses the XML format to define the structure of the data transfer and methods of communication between applications. <\/strong>Most developers prefer REST over SOAP, though SOAP is well-suited to on-premises scenarios.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3. <strong>JSON-RPC<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>RPC stands for remote procedure call protocol, which is used when a call sends multiple parameters but receives just one response.<\/strong> JSON-RPC uses the JSON format to transfer data. RPCs often require close coupling between the API client and server, which can result in a difficult-to-manage API ecosystem.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">4. <strong>XML-RPC<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">XML-RPC protocol is similar to JSON-RPC, but it uses XML format to transfer data. The SOAP protocol also uses XML, but it is a proprietary format. XML-RPC is a good option when you need to connect multiple computing environments without sharing complex data structures directly.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Related: <\/em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.workato.com\/the-connector\/what-is-api-management\/\"><em>The benefits of API management&nbsp;<\/em><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Workato, the leader in integration-led automation, allows you to manage the full lifecycle of your APIs, whether they&#8217;re for internal teams or external partners. <\/em>You can learn more about using Workato to manage your APIs by scheduling a demo with an automation expert.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-horizontal is-content-justification-center is-layout-flex wp-container-core-buttons-is-layout-7d812b4c wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/www.workato.com\/request_demo\/?utm_source=blog&amp;utm_medium=types-of-apis\">Schedule a demo<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>An API, or application programming interface, is a software intermediary that allows two applications to communicate with one another through a set of commands.
