What Is an API and How Is an API Used? Learn the Basics!
Have you seen "API" and wondered what it is, how to use it, or what sort of crazy magical powers make it work? In this video, we'll get a high-level overview of these topics, and more.
My name is Tim Buchalka and I have put together a series of videos which I call the "Programming Tip of the Day". And basically, each video goes through talking about some of the pitfalls and things that you'll need to overcome to succeed as a programmer, things like overcoming frustration and keeping yourself motivated.
In this series I will also answer common questions about choosing a programming language to learn, questions about your career path and things of that nature. Now there's a lot of other things as well that I'll cover in these videos and I'm also opening the lines for you to tell me what you want me to cover.
Now I've been a programmer for over 35 years so I think I'm real qualified to answer a lot of these questions. So if you do have a question, pop the question in the comments section of this video and I'll do my best to address that in a future video.

    The best explanation on KZread! Now I can finally say that at least theoretically I know what an API is! Thank you, Tim!

    So what's the difference between API and framework? They seem to be the same thing since API is also reusage of code.

    I've found an answer on some website (1st answer) softwareengineering.stackexchange.com/questions/54451/library-vs-framework-vs-api But I think to understand it more clearly you'll need to go deeper in aplication structure.

    frameworks are environments and an API is code to use pre-written code in whatever manner you need it.

    Android isn't a language, it's an operating system. It also has an SDK (Software development kit) that exposes an API (Application Programming Interface) to enable programmers to develop Android apps. The main two languages you can use for Android apps are Java and Kotlin. The Android operating system is a modified version of Linux, but your apps are developed in Java and Kotlin and much of the work you do involves working with the SDK and API.
