What does PCB assembly need API for?

Before an assembly order can start, the electronic components must be sourced. We do this automatically via the API: Application Programming Interface. The API is like a bridge that enables different computer programs to exchange functions and data between different systems. Communication often takes place via the HTTP protocol, which is protected by an SSL certificate.???

Our ERP system (the program that manages your company's resources) communicates with our main component suppliers and distributors via 10 APIs. Via API, the ERP system asks in real time whether components are available and how much they cost and automatically processes the orders.
