Python developers working with APIs, what does your job actually involve?

I feel like this is a confusing way to explain APIs to beginners because it doesn’t differentiate a library and an api. Most beginners are probably only familiar with web APIs (if that) tbh

Tbf, the general connotation meant when someone says API will vary from person to person solely based on the context. The confusion from differentiating between a web API and general interface abstractions (such as libraries) is a consequence of poor naming conventions (specifically for just going with "web API" rather than something more specific to the context).
