EDI is not API. Likewise, compression is not encryption, even though the output of a compression routine sometimes appears encrypted. A noun is not a verb, despite them both being parts of speech.
EDI is an acronym for Electronic Data Interchange that uses a standardized format. In that way businesses don't need to send paper around. An EDIs standardized format is implementated with methods that are accessed through an API.

"An EDIs standardized format is implementated with methods that are accessed through an API." - so true. Then everyone starts calling this either EDI or API for short :)
