What is REST APIs in simple terms
What is rest API for the layman
Hi! My Name is Kartik and I am a Self-taught Full-stack developer who has been in the IT industry for around the last 4 years now, based at a consultancy company. I have been fortunate to be involved with building some massive IT systems, apps, and Software solutions. Over the past few years, I have served various industries including Healthcare, Fintech, Sales and Marketing, eCommerce, etc. You can always find me talking about the awesomeness of Cryptos and Blockchain while savouring over truffle ganache 😉
Being a developer all of us has come across a term known as rest API, in this blog, I will try to explain it as simple as possible using images that I have created
Let's take an example of a toy shop that wants to expose the API to toy giants like Hamleys, so that Hamleys can also list the toys.
There are multiple API protocols and REST is the most popular one
How do REST API works?
