APIs have been helping businesses interact with other businesses for years, and they are supercharging the way consumers interact via the web. In simple English, an API, or application programming interface, lets websites make their content easily available to other web developers, who can import it, display it on their own sites and combine it or “mashup” with other material. Resurrected during the Web 2.0 boom, some of the most frequently used APIs today include Google Maps (probably one of the most utilized), YouTube, Facebook and Twitter.
