Perhaps an analogy would help ... like comparing an API to a car dashboard.
The dashboard is the interface between the car and the human - it has all
the controls you need to make the car do its job. An API is like the
dashboard for a software system. It provides the interface for another
system (typically another computer) to get a system to do its job.
