How would you explain APIs to your grandparents in 2 minutes? Explain what APIs are in a video under 2-minutes You don’t need to edit the video, make a presentation or add sound effects. Just record a video explaining APIs in simple words with your mobile phone or webcam and share the link here. (You can upload it to Google Drive or YouTube and keep it unlisted, make sure video is accessible via a link, or use a video service like Loom)

Here is a transcript of the video answer which I submitted.

Imagine that you want to order chocolates from paris, & you don't know french. There's a translator available, & you take their help which is just like using an application programming interface i.e. API.
They allow you to easily communicate your order to the cashier, which can be imagined as the computer, who understands the request, all thanks to the translator, & sends the order via the translator, relating to a GET request.
API can be a helper that lets different systems communicate with each other easily without the user needing to know all the technical details. It takes your request, translates it, brings the answer, just like the example told before.

What is your favorite Postman feature and why? What is the feature you love the most in Postman and how does it help you in your day-to-day life?

The Documentation is neat, while the Markdown brings some spice to the otherwise long lines of prose. Simulation of API endpoints with a mock server is a lovable feature, as it is a banger when I don't prefer not to run my requests against real data.

How would you promote API literacy among students on your campus? Our Goal is to promote API Literacy. As Postman Student Leader you will be helping us make your campus API Literate. Give us some examples of how you would promote APIs among students.

There are a number of ways in which I can do that:
-By hosting sessions. I recently helped a few of my friends earn the postman student expert badge.
-By crafting detailed blogs about how to use postman APIs in daily coding, aimed exclusively for students.
