Algorithm

A process or set of rules to be followed in calculations or other problem-solving operations, especially by a computer. As the memory and calculation capacity of computers is limited, their efficiency is optimised.

API

Application programming interface which allows software to provide services or data to another programme simply. For example, the geocoding API proposed on the data.gouv.fr website is used to convert a postal address into geographic coordinates.
