According to [https://resources.data.gov/standards/concepts/ resources.data.gov], an API is “a predefined protocol for reading and/or writing data using a filesystem, a database, or across a network. Common types of data APIs include ODBC (Open Database Connectivity) and SQL (Structured Query Language) for databases and REST APIs for the web.” <br />
<br />
APIs help data move from one point to another so they can be used among various applications. <br />
