    Application
    Programming
    Interface

    In short, you can write programs that pull information from other data sources.

    But I assume you are asking about Google's API. They assign you a key code that verifies you when your program tries to get data.

    Loads of info here on all the different stuff you can access from Google:

    If you have a Google account you can login to webmaster tools and get your API codes there.
