Application Programmable Interface

An API is a component for a specific piece of software which enables other software to communicate with it. For example, if you wanted to write some code to embed Google Maps into your website, you would have to read about the Google Maps API, then write code that makes requests to the Google Maps servers using the API protocols, which in result would allow you to embed Google Maps onto your website.
