Definition: A set of routines, protocols and tools for building software applications that are compatible with an operating environment, such as MS-Windows, and for requesting lower-level services performed by that operating system. Although APIs are designed for programmers, they are ultimately good for users because they guarantee that all programs using a common API will have similar interfaces.
