Application Programming Interface (API)

Companies that build Web sites and software often create APIs to give outside developers access to their systems or data. Web site APIs encourage the creation of new and often very useful applications. For example, a developer used the Google Maps API and data from Craigslist to combine apartment rental data with area maps to create HousingMaps.com.
