The document then covers two main ways for applications to access web services: SOAP, which uses XML messaging, and REST, which uses HTTP and JSON. It provides examples of APIs for websites and applications. It also discusses benefits of APIs, why they are needed, authentication methods, and how to create APIs in Magento 1 and Magento 2.
