API
An API (Application Programming Interface) is a set of rules, protocols, and tools that allows different software applications to communicate with each other. APIs define the methods and data formats that programs can use to request and exchange information. They act as intermediaries, enabling developers to use functionality from other services without needing to understand their internal workings.
