      Hello Shradha,

      Different API provided by Salesforce:-

      1. REST API - Access objects in your organization using REST.
      2. SOAP API - Integrate your organization’s data with other applications using SOAP.
      3. Tooling API - Build custom development tools for Force.com applications. Coming soon!
      4. Chatter REST API - Access Chatter feeds and social data such as users, groups, followers, and files using REST.
      5. Bulk API - Load or delete large numbers of records.
      6. Metadata API - Manage customizations in your org and build tools that manage the metadata model (not the data, itself).
      7. Streaming API - Provide a stream of data reflecting data changes in your organization.
      8. Apex REST API - Build your own REST API in Apex. This API exposes Apex classes as RESTful Web services.
      9. Apex SOAP API - Create custom SOAP Web services in Apex. This API exposes Apex classes as SOAP Web services.
      10. Data.com API - Data.com provides 100% complete, high-quality data, updated in real-time in the cloud, and with comprehensive coverage worldwide.

      Hope this will give an idea of different API in Salesforce.

      Thanks.
