What is the difference between EDI and API?

EDI is a concept that includes both older and newer technologies used to transfer structured documents between companies. API (Application Programming Interface) is a more modern method for integrating applications and exchanging data in real-time. EDI is usually batch-based, while API allows for more dynamic and real-time communication.

It’s worth remembering that both EDI and API require some form of mapping for different systems to understand and interpret the content of the exchanged information.

In EDI exchanges, APIs can also be used for communication and integration between the EDI provider and business systems.
