Hi my name is Jorge and I want to learn all about programs and software for tumbler to make me a better and more creative user.

what is an API ?

API stands for Application Programming Interface.  It's a fancy term that basically means a way to interact with 3rd party software.  I always hate threads that recommend to just "Google It", but in this case the meaning and usage of API is very well documented and I encourage you to research more yourself.
