What is an API Integration?
Definition Why Integrate?
An API integration is a way to connect disparate API integration helps businesses connect systems
systems to share data and functionality. APIs are and automate tasks, which saves time and
used to send and receive data from a server. reduces errors. Integrating APIs also means
Integrations can help automate tasks and improve businesses can access more functionality than
efficiency. standalone systems.
Why use Asynchronous Operations?
Asynchronous Operations are a fundamental concept in modern web development. They help ensure
that pages load quickly, responding to user-triggered events in near real-time, giving end users the
seamless experience they expect.
In this section, we'll explore why asynchronous operations are so important when working with APIs and
how React manages them.
React state and lifecycle methods
State Lifecycle Methods
State is an object that represents the internal ComponentDidMount is called once when the
state of a component component is first mounted.
State can change in response to user events or ShouldComponentUpdate lets us control if the
API calls component should re-render or not, optimizing
performance.
State can be passed down to child components ComponentWillUnmount is called just before the
via props component is unmounted and destroyed.

Asynchronous data retrieval and API integration are critical tools for building high-quality, modern web
applications. By implementing these tools in React, developers can deliver faster, more responsive web
experiences to their users.
