What is an API Call?

Discussion

Daryo Aug 11, 2020:
From the limited context given this API allows access to a database of past fraud cases.

When you query the database using the API call named "get decision" the answer you get in return is

"the customer fraud profiling data on an end user"

IOW this API call allows you to retrieve an existing /previous decision concerning a fraud case involving a given customer / end user.

or to put it differently: nothing gets "decided", it's only about retrieving a past decision.

Also possible:

all this "get decision" API call does is to retrieve "the customer fraud profiling data on an end user" and then someone (a human) has to look into it and take a decision.

In any case this "API call" will not decide anything.

décision obtenue concernant une interface de programmation d'applications (API)

V-1 : La transaction correspond à une décision obtenue, relative à une interface de programmation d'applications (API) ; cette décision est redirigée vers les données de profilage de fraude de la clientèle jusqu’à un utilisateur final.

V-2 : La transaction signifie / revient à une décision obtenue concernant une interface de programmation d'applications (API) ; cette décision est retournée vers les données de profil / fraude du client jusqu’à un utilisateur final.

Merci Cathy mais je crois que Nicolas a raison...
disagree Nicolas Gambardella : Non. une "get decision" est un type d'appel d'API

En effet...
disagree Daryo : I'm afraid that both of your versions won't work.

Réflexion faite je m'alignerais sur Nicolas en gardant la traduction d'API entre parenthèses.

appel d'API de type call-decision

Je crois qu'ici "Call Decision" est un type d'appel d'API (traduction d'API à épeler la première fois). Je ne pense pas qu'il faille le traduire. En tout cas, je ne connais pas de traduction officielle. C'est du jargon informatique.

Et si on décide de le traduire, la décision ne concerne pas l'API, elle est obtenue par l'API
"décision obtenue par un appel d'API"

Peer comment(s):
disagree Daryo : if you don't want to translate it, this API call is labelled "**get** decision", and it's not a "type" of API call, it's only one (of probably many) calls that are part of / included in the API allowing access to this database.

What is an API Call?

Now that we have a gist of what an API is and what it does, let’s switch our attention to an API call. Simply put, the moment you add an endpoint to a URL and send a request to a server, this is what counts as making an API call. For example, when you log on to any app or ask a question via a browser, you are actually making an API call.

Still not getting the concept? Imagine you have just downloaded an app. Before you start using it, you will be required to fill in your email or password. The moment you hit the “enter button” to submit your details, you have made an API call.

In a nutshell, an API call is a process that takes place when you send a request after setting up your API with the correct endpoints. Your information is transferred, processed, and feedback is returned back.
