Hero
In the context of web design, the Hero area (sometimes used as “Hero Image” as well) refers to the primary spread on a webpage, usually the site’s homepage, at or near the top of the screen and generally just below the navigation menu.
Your hero area should be the most visually prominent area of the page, and also have the most immediate, actionable information for the user to your site.

Landing Page
Generally refers to pages on a website designed with one specific purpose in mind, usually related to capturing a lead or sale.
Best practices for landing pages include minimizing ancillary information so that there is only one, prominent option for action by a user. This helps focus their attention and can lead to increased lead generation.

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.
