I have read a lot about the term API. I have searched the web and documentation and cannot find "API" is an abbreviation for? And, I cannot find a definition of what an API is? If someone could help me on this I would appreciate it. All the documentation I have assumes that the reader knows what an API is.

Thanks,
Ken Janusz, CPIM
