CS:GO uses the Source Engine, which is a game engine developed by Valve Corporation. It's not exactly an 'API' in the traditional sense, but more of a comprehensive engine that games like CS:GO are built on. If you’re looking into developing something that works with CS:GO, you might want to explore Steamworks API, which provides a range of functionality for interacting with Steam, the platform CS:GO operates on.

Source Engine is the powerhouse behind CS:GO, not really an API but a full game engine. For devs wanting to tinker, Steamworks API is your best bet for Steam-related projects. It's like the Swiss Army knife for working with Steam games and features.

Actually, CS:GO doesn't use an API in the way you might think. It's all about the Source Engine here, folks. That's the magic behind the scenes. For more dev-focused needs, peek at Steamworks API.
