API : Application Programming Interface 1) What is an API? API is a contract. A promise to perform described services when asked in specific ways. 2) How is it used? According to the rules specified in the contract. The whole point of an API is to define how it's used. 3) When and where is it used? It's used when 2 or more separate systems need to work together to achieve something they can't do alone.

Every programing language has an API. A programmer chooses his/her language looking at the API.
