APIs and ESDKs

Explaining APIs and ESDKs to non-developers can be difficult. APIs, or Application Programming Interfaces, are most often implemented by apps, libraries, and operating systems in order to delineate the language and calling conventions within your software. You’ll likely need them when your programmer needs to get your services ready for the user.

APIs and ESDKs can be generic, specific, or language dependent or independent. Our writers at The Write Direction are highly knowledgeable with each of these different types.

These APIs are meant to address specific problems, such as google MAPs API, or the Java API for any XML-based web services.

These APIs are only available in a given programming language. This API can only be produced by using the language-specific elements and syntax.

These are the most versatile APIs, and can be called from several different programming languages. Service oriented APIs are typically language-independent because it means that they are not bound to a specific system or process and can often be provided remotely.

Another aspect of APIs and ESDKs your business will need are SDKs, or Software Development Kits. These items are complicated pieces of technical writing. They require that a writer understand all of the underlying layers, platforms, and components of the software.

Having technical writers who are able and experienced in working closely with programmers to develop this documentation is necessary. At The Write Direction, we have writers with the program and design experience to make this process easy. Our goal is to provide our clients with technically gifted writers whose communication abilities, combined with their industry experience, make them indispensable, temporary assets to any team.

Whether you are rolling out a new product and need an extra set of eyes, or require an experienced technical writer to help you build something from the ground up, we are ready to help. We have a team of capable, competent, hardworking writers with the requisite computer programming and software development knowledge to fit in perfectly with your team.
