This post does a great job of explaining the thing that confused me the most about API, which is that it's a super general term, and doesn't define the protocol or the interface itself, just that software can have an interface. Like, a REST API for a web app looks totally different from, for example, the Ableton Live API, but technically they are both APIs.
