An application programming interface(API) specifies how some software components should interact with each other.
In addition to accessing databases or computer hardware, such as hard disk drives or video cards, an API can be used to ease the work of programming graphical user interface components. In practice, many times an API comes in the form of a library that includes specifications forroutines, data structures, object classes, and variables. In some other cases, notably for SOAP and REST services, an API comes as just a specification of remote calls exposed to the API consumers.[1]

REST stands for Representational State Transfer and is known as an architectural style of software. This is what is used to develop distributed systems such as the world wide web. REST has now become the dominant web API model.
The typical function of control and v on the keyboard of a Windows computer is to paste whatever is saved into the computers memory by using the control and c function.
"API calls" have no specific question; the term APIsimply means application programming interface, and to call an API simply means to invoke a function (or subroutine) from a computer program.Each API call is different in how it is called (e.g. does it require any parameters, and of so, which), when (e.g. can it be called at any time and under all circumstances), what it does and what it returns to the caller.API functions serving closely related purposes are often grouped together into an API.Take this hypothetical example: One API provides services for rounding numbers: one function of this API rounds numbers to the nearest whole number, another function that belongs to the same API rounds numbers to the nearest hundredth.The purpose of API is unlimited. Examples of API include API to allocate, manage and return memory from a heap, API to create, manage and delete files and folders on a hard disk, API to get and set the current time, API to draw lines and other geometric shapes, etc, etc.

In earlier versions of the Google Maps and Google Earth APIs, an API key was required which was a unique identifier for a particular user to track usage by user. Google Maps JavaScript API v3 and Google Earth API does not require an API key to function correctly.
