Applications
Programmer
Interfaces
(API)
An
API
is
the
interface
between
an enterprise
application
and
the
underlying
platform
services. An
API
specifies
the
mapping
between
program
syntax
and
the
features
of a
specific
service,
and
thereby
provides
access
to
that
service
from
applications
written
in a
particular
programming
language,
when
the
application
is
bound
to
the
service
by
the
language
implementation.
Standards-
based
API
calls
provide
a
level
of
application
portability
and
independence
from
the
underlying
platform
services.
Developers
use
APIs
to request
the
services of
the
common
system
components
such
as
directories
,
file
transfers,
E-mail,
remote
database
access,
etc.
APIs
are
the
means
of
accessing
the
service
elements
of
all
CG
network
and
platform
services.
Standards-based
APIs
will be
documented
through
the
USCG
COE
management
process
and
incorporated
in a
future
revision
of
the
COE.
