According to Wikipedia, an An API or "Application Programming interface" is a computing interface which defines interactions between multiple software intermediaries. It defines the kinds of calls or requests that can be made, how to make them, the data formats that should be used, the conventions to follow, etc. [...]Through information hiding, APIs enable modular programming, which allows users to use the interface independently of the implementation.

In our case: Ryzom API is an URL based system to get some Ryzom in-game information like game time, character, guild profile... API changes log can be found on forum.
