Open API. An open API (often referred to as a public API) is a publicly available application programming interface that provides developers with programmatic access to a (possibly proprietary) software application or web service. [1] Open APIs are APIs that are published on the internet and are free to access by consumers.
API. An application programming interface (abbreviated API) is a way for two or more computer programs or components to communicate with each other. It is a type of software interface, offering a service to other pieces of software. [1] A document or standard that describes how to build or use such a connection or interface is called an API ...
Web API. A web API is an application programming interface (API) for either a web server or a web browser. As a web development concept, it can be related to a web application 's client side (including any web frameworks being used).

The Windows API, informally WinAPI, is the foundational application programming interface (API) that allows a computer program to access the features of the Microsoft Windows operating system in which the program is running. Each major version of the Windows API has a distinct name that identifies a compatibility aspect of that version.
oneAPI (compute acceleration) oneAPI is an open standard, adopted by Intel, [1] for a unified application programming interface (API) intended to be used across different computing accelerator (coprocessor) architectures, including GPUs, AI accelerators and field-programmable gate arrays. It is intended to eliminate the need for developers to ...
OpenMP (Open Multi-Processing) is an application programming interface (API) that supports multi-platform shared-memory multiprocessing programming in C, C++, and Fortran, [3] on many platforms, instruction-set architectures and operating systems, including Solaris, AIX, FreeBSD, HP-UX, Linux, macOS, and Windows.
OpenGL (Open Graphics Library[4]) is a cross-language, cross-platform application programming interface (API) for rendering 2D and 3D vector graphics. The API is typically used to interact with a graphics processing unit (GPU), to achieve hardware-accelerated rendering.
