Overview[edit]
An API (Application Programming Interface) is an application program that provides the connection between software applications and computers as well.
Example[edit]
Imagine you are at a restaurant, the kitchen would be the server while the waiter would be an API who takes your orders as the customer, the client, to the cooks in the kitchen. The API in this example behaved as the connection between the server and the client and demonstrates its use for communicating between software applications.
REST API[edit]
A REST API (Representational State Transfer) is a simplistic and standardized service that is flexible to the client's needs for an API.
Key Constraints[edit]
Client-Server[edit]
Stateless[edit]
