Video: The Australia Post logo sits at the top of a red screen. A grey-haired man sits under the text, "eCommerce Jargon Busters: Australia Post APIs."
Audio: Man: Australia Post APIs would be their service level. Are people “api” with what they got?
Video: The man reads from a card that has an Australia Post logo on the back. Later, the text he's reading is typed onto a red background.
Audio: Man: An API is an application programming interface. It's a tool that allows two software programs to communicate with each other. eParcel Contract business customers can use APIs to connect with handy delivery and shipping tools.
Video: The man shrugs.
Audio: Man: I'm “api” to know programs can talk to each other.
Video: Before a red background a microphone hovers over a stool. An Australia Post card lies on the stool. Text reads, “eCommerce Jargon Busters. [Jah-gawn bust-uhz] noun + plural noun.” The Australia Post logo appears just above the stool.
