Application-Programing-Interface (API)

Definition from Wikipedia:

“In computer programming, an application programming interface (API) is a set of subroutine definitions, communication protocols, and tools for building software. In general terms, it is a set of clearly defined methods of communication among various components.

API allows your custom apps to source relevant data from Piwik PRO Analytics Suite without having to manually source data every time. For example: reporting dashboards, BI software, data warehouses, etc.
