The acronym "API" is used in many contexts. I see it mostly in the context "REST API" these days.
I was confused to see it in contexts like "Node API" or "Java API" or "Django API" or "Python API".
The use-case "RESTful API" makes a lot of sense to me. But why "Python API" instead of "Docu Python Std.lib"?
Well API means "application programming interface" and applies to anything that have an programming interface like Java, .NET etc.
Why do you think it makes only sense for REST and not for the rest?
