About Google Font APIs

Evoking emotions is a critical aspect in generating leads and making conversions. The readability of your content is essential to conveying the right information to your target audience. Some families of fonts have better-looking typography as compared to others. Customers can gauge the seriousness of the business just by the fonts used on websites.

What are Google Font APIs?

Google font API refers to a web application service that allows you to use their optimized, high-quality font families in your website or mobile application.

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.
