REST API
Definition
A REST API is a method that allows different software applications to communicate with each other over HTTP. Applications can use APIs to retrieve, create, update, or delete information between systems.
REST APIs are commonly used for websites, mobile applications, SaaS platforms, payment systems, CRM integrations, e-commerce platforms, and third-party services.
Why It Matters
APIs allow separate systems to exchange information without requiring them to be built as one application. This makes it possible to connect websites with CRMs, payment systems, mobile applications, AI services, e-commerce platforms, and other business tools.
