What is a REST API?
A REST API (Representational State Transfer API) is a standardized way for two computer systems to communicate with each other over the internet. One system, called the client, sends a request to another system, called the server, which then processes the request and returns a response.
REST APIs are based on HTTP (Hypertext Transfer Protocol) — the same protocol used by web browsers. This common standard allows different systems to communicate easily, even if they are built using different programming languages or technologies.
How does a REST API work?
-
Request
The client sends a request to the server using a specific URL and an HTTP method, such as:The request may include parameters or additional data.
-
⚙️ GET – retrieve data
⚙️ POST – create new data
⚙️ PUT – update existing data
⚙️ DELETE – remove data -
Response
⚙️ a status code (e.g. 200 for success, 404 for not found)
The server processes the request and sends back a response. This response contains:
⚙️ the requested data or confirmation of the action performed
Why are REST APIs important?
REST APIs are widely used to:
🌐 retrieve data from servers
🌐 create, update, or delete records
🌐 connect websites, mobile apps, and backend systems
They are a core building block of modern web and mobile applications, enabling systems to expose data and functionality securely and efficiently to other applications or developers.
In short, a REST API allows systems to exchange data, automate processes, and integrate services in a simple, scalable, and technology-independent way.
