Web API

Overview

Web APIs are network application interfaces that cover a wide range of capabilities.

Through APIs, web applications can access services such as storage, messaging, and computation, enabling the development of powerful web features.

For example, a Web API can retrieve content from a database and expose it via GET requests for other clients to consume.

Web API interfaces are neither backend interfaces nor JS interfaces — they are REST interfaces.

REST interfaces are based on the HTTP protocol and can be described as a collection of HTTP requests: clients send requests as URLs and receive response data from the server.
