Explaining API to Children using #kitchenAnalogy

Explaining API to Children using #kitchenAnalogy  Imagine our kitchen is like a complex computer system. Mum, who's cooking, represents the system's inner workings. You, wanting food, is the user trying to access the system. The problem is, if you go into the kitchen to get food yourself, you might get hurt because of the hot surfaces and sharp objects. This is like trying to access the complex system directly, which can be difficult and risky. That's where I, Dad, come in. I'm the Application Programming Interface (API). My job is to safely get the food from the kitchen (the complex system) and bring it to you in a way that's easy and safe to use. An API saves time, minimizes risk, scalable and accessible anywhere, from authentication to product/service utilizationSign-up and Get Started with MoMoAPIs Home - MoMo Developer Portal – SandBox  to access growth enebaling products for your bussiness and your customers Pay, Get-Paid, Invoice, Vouchers, Subscriptions, Cash-Transfer (Remittan

General questions about MTN MoMo

Hey everyone! I’m working on an application what will have an integration with MTN MoMo API, and I’m trying to wrap head around how Mobile Money works. I’m not from Africa and I can’t find some ready good source about the topic, so I hope my questions will be answered here.Can users of MoMo operate their account and transfers both via mobile app and USSD. If it is possible to work with MoMo only via USSD, is there a documentation about it? Is it possible to transfer money to the person who is not a customer of MTN MoMo (perhaps just using MTN as their operator), or all transactions happens between MTN MoMo clients only?

Partnership Inquiry

Great day to you at MTN Momo. We trust the day has been going on fine.We write today to inquire about some of your cross border payment solutions as we are willing to provide the services to our clients.We are surrounded by many aviation students as we host some of them in our accommodations. We own the busiest and the best beauty salon in Pretoria CBD which provides services to both working class and students, many of whom are also foreigners. Equally, we have access to many foreigners especially the ones from the western part of the continent because we sell airline tickets to many of them. We realized that many of our international clients in South Africa still struggle with sending/receiving money and that is a gap we wish to fill.So these are the 3 categories of people we want to provide service for.1. Those in the country with valid identification documents as well as valid permits2. Those who are short term visitors in the country who have valid identification documents as well
