I don’t know.  But when I say “API”, I mean it in a loose sense: eg in many OS 
file types can associated with an application so that when you double-click on 
it, that file is opened.  In some cases without another instance of the 
application getting started.  The passing of the file name to the app is a kind 
of API.

thanks,
