REST API
A REST API is a web service interface that allows clients to interact with resources over HTTP using standard methods like GET, POST, PUT, and DELETE in a stateless, structured way.
-
B.
Web APIs
Web APIs are browser-provided interfaces that enable JavaScript to interact with web platform features such as the DOM, networking, storage, and multimedia beyond the core ECMAScript language.
-
C.
OpenAPI
OpenAPI is a widely adopted, language-agnostic specification for describing and documenting RESTful APIs in a standardized, machine-readable format.
-
D.
APIC
APIC is the commonly used acronym for the Agreement on the Privileges and Immunities of the International Criminal Court, an international treaty that defines the legal protections and benefits granted to the Court, its officials, and related personnel.
-
E.
API gateway
An API gateway is a server that acts as a single entry point for client requests to multiple backend services, handling tasks like routing, security, rate limiting, and protocol translation.

How these facts were elicited
The pipeline generated the facts above by prompting gpt-5.1 with this entity's name + description and the instruction below.
You are a knowledge base construction expert. Given a subject entity and a description of it, return factual statements that you know for the subject as a JSON list of dictionaries(triples), where keys must be "subject", "predicate" and "object". The number of facts may be very high, between 25 to 50 or more, for very popular subjects. For less popular subjects, the number of facts can be very low, like 5 or 10. # Requirements - If you don't know the subject at all, return an empty list. - If the subject is not a named entity, return an empty list. - Include at least one triple where predicate is "instanceOf". - Do not get too wordy. - Separate several objects into multiple triples with one object.
Subject: SOAP API Description of subject: A SOAP API is a web service interface that uses the SOAP protocol to enable structured, standards-based communication between applications over a network.
