API is a method by which the third-party vendors can write programs that interface easily with other programs

API vs. Web Service:

API and Web service serve as a means of communication. The only difference is that a Web service facilitates interaction between two machines over a network. An API acts as an interface between two different applications so that they can communicate with each other.

Saving your files as macro-enabled workbooks

It's really important that whenever you make something in the VBE(Called Visual Basic Editor), whenever you insert a module and you put code in there, you have to make sure that you're saving your workbook as not just a regular XLS exe file , but XLS EM .So, it's called the Macro Enabled Workbook. How can you do that , 1)Open Excel, Go into File 2)Select Save As option 3)And for the file type, you can choose here instead of Excel workbook, you can choose Excel Macro-Enabled Workbook.Again. Take a Note Of : If you've any sort of macros or you write code in a sub or a function, it has to be a Macro-Enabled Workbook, if you just save it as an Excel workbook, it's going to lose all of those modules and the code that you put in there.
