In this session, we’ll introduce the concept of APIs (Application Programming Interfaces), which allow different software systems to communicate with each other. We'll cover the various types of APIs, such as REST, SOAP, and explain their significance in the modern tech. APIs are essential tools in web development, enabling integration with platforms like Google, and many others.

For this hands-on workshop, we’ll dive into the Gmail API as part of our "API of the Month" series. You’ll learn how to set up a Python project that interacts with your Gmail account, retrieving emails and data. This knowledge opens doors to building powerful applications like email automation, notifications, and more. By the end, you’ll have a practical grasp of how APIs can empower your projects, plus some hands-on experience with the Gmail API.
