Application Programming Interface (API) In basic terms, APIs just allow applications to communicate with one another.A good API makes it easier to develop a computer program by providing all the building blocks, which are then put together by the programmer.An API may be for a web-based system, operating system, database system, computer hardware, or software library.An API usually is related to a software library. The API describes and prescribes the "expected behavior" (a specification) while the library is an "actual implementation" of this set of rules.A single API can have multiple implementations (or none, being abstract) in the form of different libraries that share the same programming interface.
Remote APIs allow developers to manipulate remote resources through protocols,specific standards for communication that allow different technologies to work together, regardless of language or platformWeb APIs are the defined interfaces through which interactions happen between an enterprise and applications that use its assets, which also is a Service Level Agreement (SLA) to specify the functional provider and expose the service path or URL for its API users.
