American Petroleum Institute.

Application Programming Interface; Advanced Passenger Information

American Petroleum Institute the oil industry's trade association. The API, through its research and engineering work, establishes operating and safety standards for all segments of the petroleum industry; issues specifications for manufacture of pipe, pressure vessels, and other equipment; and furnishes statistical and other information to government agencies having to do with the industry. the American Petroleum Institute. Founded in 1920, this national oil trade organization' is the leading standardizing organization on oil-filed drilling and producing equipment. It maintains departments of transportation, refining, and marketing in Washington, D.C., and a department of production in Dallas. 2.

Application Programming Interface

The American Petroleum Institute, a trade association.

Application Programming Interface is a set of functions that conform to conventions of a particular operating system (e.g., Windows) which allows the user to programmatically access the functionality of another program. For example, the kernel of STATISTICA Neural Networks can by accessed by other programs packages (e.g., Visual Basic, STATISTICA BASIC, Delphi, C, C++) in a variety of ways.

API

Application programming interface. The set of commands that an application uses to request and carry out lower-level services performed by a computer's operating system.

Application Programming Interface. The specification of how a programmer writing an application accesses the behavior and state of classes and objects.

A definition of calling conventions by which an application program accesses to other services such as the operating system, drivers, databases, or middleware layers. See CryptoAPI , PKCS .

Application Programming Interface - Program code that allows the application program to interact directly with the operating system .

Application Program Interface by which an application program accesses operating system.An API can also provide an interface between a high level language and lower level utilities and services which were written without consideration for the calling conventions supported by compiled languages. Netscape Corporation and Microsoft both provide APIs called NSAPI and ISAPI that essentially extend their web servers, and it provides developers a way to put application code actually within the web server. This means that you don’t have to start up a separate process each time one of these applications is called. And, since that application is always running, it can maintain connections to the database.

See: Application Program Interface

A set of calling conventions which define how a service is invoked through a software package. [Source: RFC1208]

An interface between the operating system and application programs that specifies how the two communicate with each other.

(Application Programming Interface) Interfaces that extend the capabilities of Web servers ; used by programmers to write applications that can interact with other applications. A server API is a published interface that lets software developers write programs that become part of the Web server itself. Usually these are DLLs (Windows dynamic load libraries) that are loaded into memory and stay resident at all times. Some common server APIs and the servers they support:

ISAPI - Microsoft Internet Information Server NSAPI - Netscape Commerce and Enterprise Server WSAPI - O'Reilly Web Site and Web Site Pro

(Application Programming Interface) - set of routines/functions that an application program uses to request and carry out lower-level services performed by the operating system. For Windows, for example, API's help manage icons, windows, menus and other GUI elements. See related - CGI and MCI .
