(Newswire.net — March 24, 2019) — Website after website claim to help people find a match for a casual fling or a serious relationship. The sites use an algorithm to match these individuals up. However, API technology is changing the dating scene a bit. It helps individuals get instant matches in the area.
About API Technology
API technology stands for the acronym application program interface. It classifies the protocols, tools, and procedures used to develop software applications. The API technology determines how the program works and the various components interact with one another. An API is also used when designers develop graphical user interfaces. Generally, API technology makes it a simpler process to develop software. It gives the programmer all the needed building blocks. Various types of API exist. For instance, Windows uses API in numerous applications.
Example of an API
One example of an API is Google Maps. This program allows developers to place the program on websites via JavaScript. It’s also possible to implement Google Maps using a Flash interface. It’s both mobile and computer-friendly.
How API Helps Dating
Dating sites tend to just let people know the general vicinity somebody lives in based on what they input on their profile. API technology from Google Maps is much more accurate. Individuals see in real-time where a person is located in relation to others. This gives people an idea if a friends-with-benefits situation or relationship is possible.
It doesn’t matter whether someone is scrolling through trying to find people on their phone or laptop; the API technology shows where people are who want to hook up or establish a relationship. It shows someone where local singles are. W4M Maps is one example of a site that utilizes API technology to help singles find other local singles. The map loads quicker than a complete profile. Whenever someone is waiting for items to load on a webpage, he or she notices a full profile takes quite some time to load on some devices and varies based on connection speed. However, API-techology driven programs like Google Maps load quickly, giving you fast results where people are in the area.
There isn’t a shortage of dating sites out there. However, technology is changing how they’re run. Users are getting access to better features as a result of technology, in particular, API technology. It allows two singles to have less stress finding one another.
