About libraries

You can use libraries to extend and simplify the way your application interacts with {% data variables.product.company_short %}'s API. Each library provides pre-built code for a specific programming language. After integrating a library into your project, you can use the pre-built code modules to interact with {% data variables.product.company_short %}'s API via a specific programming language.
