API is an interface between two applications. when you want to use functionality which is provided by application X in application Y then you can make an API call(get or post etc) to X application which returns data required by you in generally XML or Json format. you can manipulate this data. The thing here to notice is in order to use functionality of a particular application first of all that application needs to expose its functionality as API. In simple words you will be dealing with a URL. Calling different methods on that URL like get or post u can either get required data or send your data to other application.

Maybe W3Schools is a little bit more beginners friendly, and a little more tutorial oriented, where MDN could appears more technical referencing oriented... But this is a really good source of information ( both are complementary, of course ), and even very less obscure than W3C original specifications/documentation :P
