An Application Programming Interface (API) is a set of commands, 
functions, protocols, and objects that programmers can use to 
create software or interact with an external system.

Think of API as an interface for programs. A UI (User Interface) is an interface
for the user.
- Examples of API: library API (jQuery, Express, JavaScript), or Data request 
API like Weather condition API and current time API.

- To make an API request you need to use an HTTP/HTTPS request to external
servers

Say you were going to a restaurant, 
we know that there are things that are 
on the menu like cakes and desert while 
there are raw ingredients in the Kitchen.

The restaurant would not let you go into 
the Kitchen to eat ingredients since the 
restaurant has certain things that they sell 
and let you buy and there are other things that 
are off limits, which is similar to data.

Facebook has data on users while the police API 
has data on crimes. They all have certain data that 
they allow you to access and some data that are not your business.

At a restaurant, you are provided with a menu (API) that 
allows to you to choose what you want and what they provide.

For a weather API, they include the temperature, 
weather condition, weather image, and pressure

An application programming interface is a way for two or more computer programs to communicate with each other. It is a type of software interface, offering a service to other pieces of software. A document or standard that describes how to build or use such a connection or interface is called an API specification.
