WHAT’S THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN API LATENCY AND API RESPONSE TIME?

Summary from the TLDR Web Dev newsletter

API latency refers to the time it takes for a request to travel from the client to the server, get processed on the server, and then return a response back to the client. API response time encompasses the entire time it takes for a client to send a request to an API, the server to process that request, and for the server to send a complete response back to the client.
