The .NET Framework has approximately 250k APIs. The majority are from the application models stacks (WinForms, WPF, and ASP.NET).

.NET Standard has about 32k APIs that set is pretty close to all the APIs that are part of .NET Framework that aren't specific to any application models. However, we still have a few things we need to bring to .NET Standard.

APIs are a long standing name for the set of all .NET constructs (classes, structs, delegates, interfaces, methods, properties, events, fields).

In total, the .NET Framework has about 15k types.

They always were, somehow the hipster web crowd decided network interfaces should be named API as well.
