What is an API

API, or Application Programming Interface, allows different sets of software to communicate directly with each other. The inclusion of an API in software makes it easier to integrate one software application with another. Both physical and virtual applications can provide an API, thereby establishing a standard set of routines, protocols, and tools for modifying the application.
