• What Is an API?
• An API is the short form of the Application
  Programming Interface. An API is a software
  intermediary that enables two applications to
  communicate with each other. This comprises a
  number of sub-routines, logs, and tools for
  creating the software application.
• Some of the most common examples to understand
  API is like Amazon API, YouTube API, and Google
  Maps API.

• The main difference in between API and Web
  Services
• All the web services are APIs but all the APIs
  are not possibly Web Services. Web Services do
  not contain all the specifications and cannot
  perform all the tasks that APIs would perform. A
  Web Service always needs a network to operate
  while API, on the other hand, does not need a
  network to work.
• A Web Service uses only three styles to work
  efficiently SOAP, REST, XML-RPC. But APIs can be
  exposed in any application in multiple ways.

• Conclusion
• Basically, APi testing is used to verify if it
  fulfills its expected functionality, its
  security, performance and reliability. These
  tests are performed either directly or on the API
  or basically as part of integration testing by
  the developers.
