The term Application Programming Interface (API, for short) encompasses a broad set of utilities (protocols, tools) used for building software. In fact, the term API could appropriately describe some of the libraries we've been using in R, such as DPLYR. The general pattern used by DPLRY and steps necessary for using it are referred to as it's API. This is well described on WikiPedia:. the API describes and prescribes the expected behavior while the library is an actual implementation of this set of rules. In addition to exposing functions for buidling software, APIs are often built to expose data components. The focus of this learning module is to focus on accessing data from APIs that expose data as their primary function.
