API

API is for example a algorithm that can call a data and send it back or? If this is not right please tell me what API is and for example when a flight booking website compare sites to give us the cheapest price they use the api from the owner but how do they do this and do the owner have to be asked? (I hope my english is understandable) thank you for reading/answering and please dont send me a link i need a explination.

How about a twitter api that gives you the possiblity to show certain tweets in your application (for c# look at .net). https://dev.twitter.com/overview/api or a weather api that allows you to show the weather in your application https://www.wetteronline.de/weather-api https://openweathermap.org/api flight information http://www.itnext.in/articles/1003456/9-flight-apis-you-can-create-apps-on-to-get-live-flight-data

API is a abbreviation for application programming interface. It is not a standard. A organisation who wants you, to show their data or control their machines needs to write a API and its documentation. Sometimes the API is available for free, sometimes you need a payed contract. What do you want do to do ?
