Application Programming Interfaces (API) You can consider an API as the alternative user interface that software uses to interact with other software. We humans are familiar with user interfaces that have fancy layouts with buttons, fonts, colors, graphics, etc; and most of that is unnecessary to a machine.
Many snakes are poisonous, but the inland taipan is among the most deadly on the planet. The inland taipan lives in Australia and has a neurotoxin in its venom which is capable of killing a person within 45 minutes. Thankfully, the inland taipanâs bite can readily be treated.
It may seem strange that the most venomous snake on Earth (the inland taipan) did not make it onto the list whereas its less venomous cousin, the coastal taipan, did. Whilst the coastal taipan only (!) has the third most toxic venom of any land snake it is still phenomenally dangerous.
