It really bugs me that Instagram limits their features when you're not using the phone app.

API = Application Programming Interface, essentially a way to programmatically talk to their service. We had a mobile app that you could link to your Instagram, then say "anything with these hashtags I want to import into this other app." Their API to do that wasn't all that bad, but it was exceptionally painful to test as you couldn't do most of it in a browser, you usually had to go back and forth between the mobile app and the computer you were programming on.

It's a good reminder to me that that acronym is not as ubiquitous as I think it is.
There was a point a few years ago that I said I would never use a hashtag. I'm embarrassed to admit I was forced to start using hashtags to promote my work.
