淘宝开放平台是基于淘宝各类电子商务业务的开放平台，提供外部合作伙伴参与服务淘宝用户的各类原材料，如业务API、账号体系、数据推送，奇门网关等，是淘宝电子商务基础服务的重要开放途径。即淘宝把数据开放进来，第三方软件开发商开发软件来效劳买家和卖家。

淘宝API接口就是第三方软件公司，通过淘宝开放平台接入淘宝数据，并进行再开发，将功能封装打包成函数，客户只需要传入参数，接收返回值就可以实现具体功能。

以下展示部分淘宝API：

item_get 获得淘宝商品详情

item_review 获得淘宝商品评论

item_fee 获得淘宝商品快递费用

item_password 获得淘口令真实url

seller_info 获得淘宝店铺详情

item_search 按关键字搜索淘宝商品

item_search_tmall 按关键字搜索天猫商品

item_search_img 按图搜索淘宝商品（拍立淘）

item_search_shop 获得店铺的所有商品

item_search_seller 搜索店铺列表

item_search_coupon 优惠券查询

cat_get 获得淘宝分类详情

item_cat_get 获得淘宝商品类目

item_sku 获取sku详细信息

更多API接口

综上所述，淘宝API接口是基于淘宝开放平台的，没有淘宝开放平台就没有淘宝API接口。淘宝API接口又是更加便利的，是电商公司管理获取数据的小帮手。同时，还可以通过淘宝API接口发展出跨境电商业务。
