Assume You are an Information Systems Professional (IS Professional) Working in a Large-Scale Organization, Supporting Your Firm’s “E-Commerce” Operations A Moment Ago, One of Your E-Commerce Business Partners (a Marketing Professional; not an IS Professional) asked you this question: “For our B2B (Commercial) Customers, we need to provide them with the current, realtime price for Bitcoins…how would that work?” In as little space and time as possible: What is the best explanation you can provide to answer this question?

Explanation / Answer

For someone who is a marketing professional, we need to explain the meaning of API first in layman terms. An API would be an interface which would get data from a third party software into our e-commerce website.

So to answer his question, we can use a third party api which provides bitcoin prices in real time for all currencies. The api uses blockchain technology to get real-time data.
The below is a sample output in json format and we can use the data at our end as we require.

let me know if you need any more details on the api
