What is an API?
An application programming interface (API) is an interface implemented by a software
program that enables it to interact with other software. It facilitates interaction between
different software programs similar to the way the user interface facilitates interaction
between humans and computers.
Wikipedia, 9:48 am October 22nd
An API is the mechanism that allows a machine to talk to a machine
