# Execute API

Each Spark service can be called to perform calculations by calling the Execute API. The [API Tester](/navigation/api-tester.md) is the user interface to test the Execute API.

* The [Execute API (v3)](/spark-apis/execute-api/execute-api-v3.md) specification of the Execute API is the version that is currently being used in the [API Tester](/navigation/api-tester.md).
* The [Execute API (v4)](/spark-apis/execute-api/execute-api-v4.md) specification of the Execute API supports synchronous batching enabling multiple requests to be submitted at the same time. This API specification also forms the basis for using the [Batch APIs](/spark-apis/batch-apis.md) and [Introduction to XConnector](/xconnector/introduction-to-xconnector.md).
