API stands for Application Programming Interface.An API can be compared to a restaurant menu.
Menus contain a list of dishes you can order as well as descriptions of each dish.
A restaurant’s kitchen prepares your requested menu items and provides them to you.
Restaurants don’t disclose exactly how their food is prepared, and you don’t have to know.
Similarly, APIs include a list of operations that developers can use, along with a description of what they do.
