API is a set of programming instructions that allow applications to interact with each other. An API can be used to create a connection between two pieces of software, such as a web site and a database. The API provides the means by which the two pieces of software can communicate with each other.
In order to use an API on a Wix website, you will need to create a Wix account and then create a new app. Once you have created the app, you will be given an App ID and an App Secret. These will be used to authenticate your app with the Wix API.

Once you have created your app, you can then begin using the Wix API. The Wix API allows you to interact with the Wix platform in order to create and manage your website. The API is divided into a number of different sections, each of which covers a different area of functionality.
The first thing you will need to do is to choose the section of the API that you wish to use. For example, if you want to add a new page to your website, you would use the Pages section of the API.
Once you have chosen the section of the API that you wish to use, you will need to find the specific method that you wish to use. The methods are divided into four categories: GET, POST, PUT, and DELETE. Each category corresponds to a different type of action that can be performed using the API.
GET methods are used for retrieving data from the Wix platform. For example, if you want to retrieve a list of all the pages on your website, you would use a GET method.
POST methods are used for creating new data on the Wix platform. For example, if you want to create a new page on your website, you would use a POST method.
PUT methods are used for updating existing data on the Wix platform. For example, if you want to update an existing page on your website, you would use a PUT method.
DELETE methods are used for deleting data on the Wix platform. For example, if you want to delete an existing page on your website, you would use a DELETE method.
