What are examples of web services?

 


Web services are software systems designed to support interoperable machine-to-machine communication over a network. They make it possible for different applications, often built on different platforms and programming languages, to seamlessly exchange data.

At Shanthi IT Solution, we leverage web services to build scalable, secure, and high-performing applications that can integrate with other systems effortlessly.

Common Examples of Web Services

  1. Payment Gateways
    When you make an online purchase, the e-commerce website interacts with a payment gateway’s web service to securely process transactions. Examples include PayPal, Stripe, and Square.


  1. Weather APIs
    Weather apps and websites use web services to fetch real-time data such as temperature, forecasts, and humidity levels for specific locations.


  1. Social Media Integrations
    Features like Login with Google, Login with Facebook, or Share on LinkedIn are made possible through web services that enable authentication and content sharing across platforms.


  1. Mapping & Location Services
    Web services like Google Maps API provide embedded maps, geolocation data, route calculations, and location-based searches that developers can integrate into their applications.


  1. Travel & Booking Aggregators
    Websites such as Kayak or MakeMyTrip pull real-time flight, hotel, and car rental data using web services, helping travelers compare prices and make bookings.


  1. Cloud Computing Services
    Companies like Amazon Web Services (AWS), Google Cloud (GCP), and Microsoft Azure offer a wide range of web services—from cloud storage to machine learning APIs.


  1. Currency Conversion APIs
    Online converters use web services to access up-to-date exchange rates, enabling accurate currency conversions between different countries.
