For which of the following purposes would a Web developer want to gain access to an application programming interface (API)?
  1. Creating a script to add interactivity to a Web page.
  2. Building a style sheet to define a Web page's fonts and background colors.
  3. Accessing the nodes of a Web page's document object model (DOM).
  4. Embedding a map from a search engine company onto a Web page.
Explanation
Correct Response: D. The web page under development needs to communicate with a search engine to get a map to display, so it will use an API. A is incorrect because adding interactivity to a web page through a script does not require talking to another application, so no API access is needed. B is incorrect because building a style sheet does not require talking to another application, so no API access is needed. C is incorrect because accessing a web page’s DOM does not require talking to another application, so no API access is needed.
