What is the difference between a URL and an API. Can you please explain?

hey @Mohit2000 ,
Url is a just a link to any website from where you can scrap data , or crawl or do anything the way you want manually.
whereas
API are special urls / links , which provide data in json format so that we can parse them and use them in the way we need to use them. They are not like a website , but kind of some data providers.

Hope this helps.
