APIs are purpose built application program interfaces. Good APIs usually serve as the universal portal to a system, anything you can do through the purpose built application can also be performed programmatically through the API. This allows systems to integrate.
Practice working with different APIs:

Google also requires you to have a billable account before providing may of their API keys.
