API Development

An API (Application Programming Interface) is a set of rules and protocols that allows different software applications to communicate with each other. It acts as a bridge between two systems, enabling them to exchange data and functionality.

In web development APIs commonly include:

• RESTful APIs: These use the Representational State Transfer (REST) architectural style, employing HTTP methods (GET, POST, PUT, DELETE) to interact with resources.

• RPCs (Remote Procedure Calls): RPC allows a client to invoke procedures on a remote server as if local.

• GraphQL APIs: GraphQL is a query language enabling clients to request precise data, minimizing over-fetching.
