2. Plug-in API’s
 The API specifies how software
components should interact and are used
when programming graphical user
interface (GUI) components. Plug-in is a
software component that adds a specific
feature to an existing software
application. When an application supports
plug-ins, it enables customization.

3. Youtube
 Youtube is a Web site dedicated to hosting
video clips. Users can create an account
on Youtube and upload videos for public

Web sites. To capitalize this Web site, an
API tool is created to enable developers to
embed the Youtube video player and play
any Youtube content on their Web sites.

images wherein users creates private
account, upload images and categorize the

images in a slide show fashion.

5. Twitter
 Twitter is a social networking service that
enables users to send and read short
messages with 280 characters. These short
messages are called tweets. Twitter API’s are
used by developers to embed Twitter
functions in developing Web sites. Commonly,
in using Twitter’s API, users can find facility

messages from a certain user commonly
governing those Twitter accounts.

create a user profile. A profile contains the
information about the owner of the account

“friends.” On this Web site, users are also
capable of posting information on their “wall”
or page that contains the users information.

7. Google Maps
 Google Maps APIs are one of the most
used APIs by Web site developers.
Commonly, Google Maps APIs are used to
indicate a location of an establishment
