why okapi?

[Lie-in King]

Okapi - 'ok (fine) a(pplication) p(rogramming) i(nterface)'

[dannyk13]

Ok (fine) + ap(software) + i(nterface)

[Mamyalynne]

API is the acronym for Application Programming Interface, which is a software intermediary that allows two applications to talk to each other. Each time you use an app like Facebook, send an instant message, or check the weather on your phone, you're using an API.

Okapis browse for food.

[dannyk13]

It browses for food

Nutrition. Okapis are ruminant browsers. The okapi is as selective browser.
