REST

Glossary page

A Representational State Transfer (REST) or RESTful API is an Application Programming Interface (API) that enables web-based applications to communicate with each other. Although this API is theoretically compatible with various protocols and data formats, REST often relies on the HTTP protocol and transfers data using JSON (JavaScript Object Notation). The REST API is highly favored due to its versatility, swiftness, and user-friendly nature, establishing it as one of the most sought-after approaches for data retrieval from the internet.
