Edit: Thank you for all of your answers. I feel I have a much better understanding of what’s going on. Hope to see y’all on the other side of this.

Christmas is coming up and your Mom instructs you to go through the toy catalog and circle the stuff you want. But your Mom can’t just hand the catalog to Santa. He’s not going to go through it and finds your circled stuff. So your Mom does that part and converts it into a written list that Santa can easily understand and process. She mails it off to him a month before Christmas. A month later, some assembled toys show up under the tree because Santa came back with a fulfilled list. Your Mom spent the night building your Legos and Easy Bake Oven and other stuff so that it looks and works like the picture that you expected.
Your Mom is the API. She converted what you’re looking for in terms that you understand (pictures in a catalog) into a form that Santa understands (a list). She then helped convert what Santa delivered (packaged toys) into the things you were expecting (the complete toys that look like the pictures from the catalog).
