When we talk about SAP S/4HANA Cloud Integration with other SAP or non SAP products, APIs play a major role in exchanging data between two systems.
APIs provide the capability to process input and output for a business object.
By default, the APIs are not accessible in your SAP S/4HANA Cloud tenant.
Before you can use an API, you need to activate the API and define one or more (SAP S/4HANA Cloud) users with the permission to use the API.
Before you can activate an API, you need to identify a related communication scenario.
The communication scenario is a logical object that bundles a number of inbound and outbound communication design-time artifacts.
Note: Every API can be bound to one or more communication scenarios.

The information can be found in the SAP API Business Hub, within the API specific page.
When searching for a specific communication scenario in the SAP API Business Hub, you can find the list of the APIs that relate to a specific communication scenario.
APIs provide the capability to process data input and output for a business object.
To expose an API of SAP S/4HANA Cloud system to an external system, a key user needs to create and activate a communication arrangement for a corresponding communication scenario.
To consume an API of SAP S/4HANA Cloud system, an external system needs to authenticate to it.
A technical communication user is needed to enable certificate-based and basic (username and password) authentication types.
