Web 2.0 APIs Online With A Few Mouseclicks
API stands for Application Programming Interface. Program developers often supply it with their programs so that other developers can access the functions and code of their programs without seeing the actual source. In essence, APIs allow third-party developers to use other software’s code to do things without ever having to see the first-party software’s code.
This becomes especially useful for developers who want to expand the functionality of their program without writing a lot of extra code themselves.
In today’s World Wide Web, there are tons of online services offering APIs so that developers can use them in their programs. Of course, there are so many now, and many coming out every month that it is a monumental task of keeping track of them all.
Programmableweb.com has kept an API directory of all the current Web APIs available, including description and link to the API documentation.
