# What is Airapi?

Airapi is an end-to-end API solution that enables banks, fintechs and any other institutions to offer their APIs on a single platform.

It is an easy to use solution for developing, testing and operating APIs, allowing companies to rapidly build, run and manage APIs with strong infrastructure and fast integration. Airapi provides two solutions on this platform:

·        PSD2 Compatible Open Banking and BaaS

·        API management and integration 

So what is "api"? If you ask, we can explain it like this. API stands for Application Programming Interface. This interface allows the functions of the application to be accessed and used externally or remotely. For example, you have a blog that uses the WordPress infrastructure, and by calling the WordPress API, you can publish a new post on your blog or comment on a post. APIs simply work in 'Request-Response' logic. That is, a request is sent from an outside application to the server where your API is running, to do something. In response to this request, a response is returned in accordance with the operation, thus enabling the application on the server to be accessed from different platforms.
