API is a set of classes written for a desired functionality..For example JDBC API provides the functionality to connecting databases in java..whereas framework is also a set ot classes but the purpose is not a specific functionality this time..but purpose is to help out the developers to develop robust resusable and sacalabe applications..

RE: What is the difference between an API and a framew...
Furthermore an API is often a finished working component which is readily used (maybe with some minor additions). Frameworks are in no instance ready out-of-the-box and aim to take care some of the work which would be done over and over again to solve a problem in a particular domain.

One of many examples of frameworks is the Ruby on Rails framework which takes care of some of the work which would be done by everyone making a website - however the framework is not ready out of the box (you have to fill in some gaps).
