An application programming interface (API) is a way for two or more computer programs to communicate with each other. It is a type of software interface that offers a service to other pieces of software, and can be custom-built or shared as a standard. APIs are used to hide the internal details of how a system works, allowing interoperability among many systems and enabling communication between computers joined by the internet.
