Questions tagged [api]

DO NOT USE. Use specific tags like [google-cloud-platform], [facebook], [amazon-web-services] instead or [api-design] where applicable. Questions asking to recommend or find an API are off-topic.

Application Programming Interface (API) is a source code based specification intended to be used as an interface by software components to communicate with each other. A good API makes it easier to develop a program by providing all the building blocks. A programmer then puts the blocks together. An API may include specifications for routines, data structures, object classes and variables.

An API specification can take many forms, including:

  • an International Standard such as POSIX,
  • vendor documentation such as the Microsoft Windows API,
  • the libraries of a programming language - e.g. Standard Template Library in C++ or Java API.

An API differs from an ABI (Application Binary Interface) in that the former is source code based while the latter is a binary interface. For instance POSIX is an API, while the Linux Standard Base is an ABI.

Source: Wikipedia (Application Programming Interface)

Questions asking us to recommend or find an API, documentation or other off-site resource are off-topic for Stack Overflow as they tend to attract opinionated answers and spam.
