What is an RPC API?

An RPC API, or Remote Procedure Call application programming interface, is a method that allows different computer programs to communicate with each other over a network. It enables a program on one computer to invoke a specific function or procedure of another program on a different computer. Through this API, developers can access the functionalities of a remote system as if they were on their local machine. RPC APIs abstract the complexities of network communication and provide a convenient mechanism for applications to interact with each other, enhancing interoperability and allowing for the development of distributed systems.
