Short Summary
The video discusses a brief overview of REST API, explaining its foundational concepts and how it facilitates communication between web applications and servers.
Key Points
- REST stands for Representational State Transfer.
- It is the most common method for web applications to communicate with servers.
- APIs are organized around unique URIs representing various resources.
- Interactions with resources are performed using HTTP methods:
- POST: to create
- GET: to read
- PUT: to update
- DELETE: to remove
- Responses include HTTP status codes, such as:
- 200: for success
- 400: for client errors
- 500: for server errors
- APIs should be designed for easy scaling.
- Versioning is important for maintaining backward compatibility.
