(May 2010) (Learn how and when to remove this template message) In computing, an interface is a shared boundary across which two separate components of a computer system exchange information. The exchange can be between software, computer hardware, peripheral devices, humans and combinations of these.
An application programming interface (API) is (as the name suggests) an interface for your application to use code that does not belong to your application (usually a library). Usually, an API is comprised of a set of function/method calls that can be made to the library by your application. All system calls together constitute an API that the operating system (kernel) provides to applications that run on that platform.
