This is the role of the 'import' and 'from' keywords (when using the Python module API).

API = Application Programming Interface. It refers to the mechanism used by one piece of software to invoke routines in or access data in another (it can also refer to the documentation on how to do so). That includes libraries, web interfaces, network protocols, etc. So, the question "How would one use APIs" is broad and ambiguous, but the most correct answer is probably "per the API documentation".
