<prompt> Hlalosa hore na API ke eng.nan  <response>: Instruction in English: Explain what an API is. . Response in English: API is the acronym for Application Programming Interface. It is a set of rules and protocols that enables communication between different software programs or systems. Essentially, it provides a way for different applications to share data and services with one another in a structured and organized manner. An API defines the way that one piece of software can request information or services from another, specifying the format of the request and the response. This allows developers to build programs and applications that can take advantage of the functionality of other systems or services, without having to understand their entire codebase or internal workings. By using an API, developers can focus on building their own programs, while leveraging the capabilities of other systems to provide a richer user experience. In summary, an API can be seen as a translator between two or more separate software systems, enabling them to work together and interact in a seamless and efficient manner. . Response in Sesotho: API ke khutsufatso ea Application Programming Interface. Ke sete ea melao le liprothokholo tse nolofalletsang puisano lipakeng tsa mananeo a fapaneng a software kapa litsamaiso. Ha e le hantle, e fana ka mokhoa oa hore litsebetso tse fapaneng li arolelane data le litsebeletso ka mokhoa o hlophisitsoeng le o hlophisitsoeng. API e hlalosa tsela eo karolo e le ngoe ea software e ka kopang tlhahisoleseling kapa litsebeletso ho e ngoe, e totobatsa sebopeho sa kopo le karabo.
