Most web APIs sit between the application and the web server. The user initiates an API call that tells the application to do something, then the application will use an API to ask the web server to do something. The API is the middleman between the application and the web server, and the API call is the request.

API stands for application programming interface. An API is essentially a set of rules that dictate how two machines talk to each other.
