You are probably familiar with their User Interfaces…

But APIs are not for users. APIs are for apps.As well as the development organizations that build them.

In today’s vernacular, an API really is… An online environment that
businesses make available...
…to application development organizations outside of the IT groups developing the core business services…
…to drive new revenue through the apps that those app dev orgs build and maintain themselves
