API, an abbreviation of application program interface, is a set of routines, protocols, and tools for building software applications. A good API makes it easier to develop a program by providing all the building blocks. A programmer then puts the blocks together. The API allows programmers to use predefined functions to interact with a service or an application. (Source: WebOpedia)
