Call External API in SAP ABAP - API Key - REST API [english]

In this video I will show you how to call an external API from SAP. An API is a Application Programming Interface that provides functions or commands to communicate with an external system.
I have found here for example the API "Airport Info". With this API you can search for airport information like name, address, phone number, website and much more by using the airport code IATA or ICAO. To use the API an API Key is generated and passed as header field in ABAP.
