API
API stands for Application Programming Interface. It’s used most frequently to refer to how two pieces of software or databases can “talk” to one another. Any plug-in you’ve used for a website or integration between a software application and an internal database would be an example of two interfaces interacting with one another.

H1
A semantic HTML tag that denotes a webpage’s main subject. This is sometimes referred to as the page’s title, but in coding terminology, is different from the Title tag, which is the title that will appear on a browser tab. An H1 subject will only appear on the page itself.
