Terraform providers are plugins that interface with external platforms and services. The vast majority of providers - including AWS, Azure, GCP, GitHub, Datadog, and hundreds of others - communicate with those platforms via their APIs (REST, gRPC, etc.).

While some providers may invoke shell scripts or interact with VCS systems as a secondary concern, the defining characteristic is API-based communication.
