Open Data and API
Organizations with large amounts of information like The New York Times and National Public radio are opening up their data to the public using an API (application program interface).
An API is a set of routines, data structures, object classes and/or protocols provided by libraries and/or operating system services in order to support the building of applications.
You can think of it as a library of tools that you can access with the correct key. APIs open up and regulate a library of data.
For our customers, having an API can mean anything from integrating thousands of jobs into multiple sites, to semantic tagging of years of data.
