An application programming interface (API) is a connection between computers or between computer programs. It is a type of software interface, offering a service to other pieces of software. A document or standard that describes how to build such a connection or interface is called an API specification. A computer system that meets this standard is said to implement or expose an API. The term API may refer either to the specification or to the implementation.
AI overview
An application programming interface (API) is a connection that allows different computer programs to communicate with each other and share services. APIs matter because they let software developers build new programs more easily by connecting to existing services rather than building everything from scratch.
