What is API anyway?

API stands for Application Programming Interface, a software intermediary that allows two applications to communicate. Katana’s API is open, meaning that developers outside of Katana can build into our software to make custom connections or integrations. The open API also enables you to set up custom workflows for yourself or take advantage of Katana’s already built partner software solutions.

Happy customizing!
