📄️ About API
APIs, or Application Programming Interfaces, are tools that allow different software applications to talk to each other. Think of an API as a waiter in a restaurant. You (the client) place an order, the waiter (the API) takes it to the kitchen (the server), and then brings your food (the response) back to you. This is how APIs work — they help send requests and deliver responses between systems.
📄️ RESTful
A RESTful API is a way for different software systems to communicate over the internet using standard HTTP methods in a simple and consistent manner. It follows the principles of REST (Representational State Transfer), where everything is treated as a resource (like users, posts, or products) identified by URLs, and operations are performed using HTTP verbs such as GET (read), POST (create), PUT/PATCH (update), and DELETE (remove). RESTful APIs are stateless, meaning each request contains all the information needed to process it, and they commonly exchange data in formats like JSON. This design makes APIs scalable, easy to understand, and widely used in web and mobile applications.
