Definition
An API Response is the data or information that is returned from a server when an API (Application Programming Interface) request is sent. It is typically in the form of a JSON or XML document and contains either a status (“ok”, “error”, etc.) or data (e.g. a list of items).
The response is crucial as it provides the client with the data they requested. For example, if an application sends a request to LocationIQ's Reverse Geocoding API, seeking location details based on geographical coordinates, the server responds with relevant information like the address, landmark, or other location data associated with those coordinates. This response helps developers enrich their applications with location intelligence seamlessly.
