OPEN API

Overview

API is the acronym for Application Programming Interface, which is a software intermediary that allows two applications to talk to each other. Each time you use an app like Facebook, send an instant message, or check the weather on your phone, you’re using an API.

Where do APIs usually apply?
Web API: API system used in website systems. Most websites have applications to Web APIs that allow you to connect to, retrieve data, or update databases. For example: You design login function through Google, Facebook, Twitter, Github… This means you are calling API’s. Or like mobile apps all get data through API.
APIs on the operating system: Windows or Linux have a lot of APIs, they provide API documents that specify functions, methods as well as connection protocols. It helps programmers to create application software that can interact directly with the operating system.
API of a software library or framework: An API that describes and specifies the desired actions that libraries provide. An API can have many different implementations, and it also makes it possible for a program written in one language to use a library written in another language. For example, you can use Php to ask a library to generate PDF files written in C++.
