We are no longer living in the early stages of the internet and the primal digital era; nowadays, almost everything can be connected with anything on the internet; it only depends on one's willingness to do the work required.
The presence of API's (Application Programming Interface) which is a set of rules and protocols that allows different software applications to communicate with each other, have made it easier for more than one software or application to connect to another and hence it has made the most connected internet that we see today.
To use any API provided, you have to adhere to the rules and protocols and not to mention you must be granted a secure way (if there is any) to access it by the API provider.
