So what are they exactly? An API is a way for websites, programmers, and applications to communicate with each other, exchanging information. If I have a database with information that I would like to disseminate then I can develop an API and make that accessible to the world. External developers can then create APIs with the purpose of communicating with my API, and thus extract the information that I am making public.
