Abbreviated API - (from source [1]) Short for Application Programming Interface, this is a programming format that a website or piece of software uses to allow other websites to interact with it. For example, Constant Contact's Join My Mailing List app for Facebook (http://apps.facebook.com/ctctjmml) was created using an API that integrates Facebook and Constant Contact.
