How Google Font APIs works

Google font allows you to use either the Developer, CSS or Android API. Developer API is for making APIs, CSS is for website and Android is used in Android applications. Whichever you choose the methodology is the same only a few tweaks are required.

The Developer API uses REST request protocols and JSON data format in data transfer. The developer will send a request for an API key from Google Fonts. Google font Console uses JavaScript language in building an HTTP request.

An HTTP request informs the API to get a particular font based on the following parameters: name, width, weight, style and best-effort. Google font APIs are useful in providing a list of the most popular fonts based on your writing content. The more the HTTP request, the longer the API processing time. The response returns in the JSON data exchange format.
