API-Rest: Was bedeutet Rest-API?
API Rest: What does Rest API mean?
Rest API stands for Representational State Transfer - Application Programming Interface and enables the exchange of information from different systems. API-Rest is also referred to as machine-to-machine communication via API-Web. The use of Rest-API is necessary in the age of desktop PCs and mobile devices in order to bring different systems and devices together with API-Web. API-Rest ensures that they all speak the "same language" with each other. Rest API enables information and tasks to be distributed to different servers, which can then be requested using an http request. This is made up of an API endpoint and corresponding parameters. An API console provides access to the information hidden on a website via a browser. In addition to the popular debugging method, Console API offers even more methods for displaying useful tools in certain scenarios. API Console is an individual addition to browsers, but a specification is now being developed under the umbrella of the WHATWG.
For a developer, API-First means easy integration with other systems and applications via REST API or CMIS. In addition, API-first architecture is highly flexible with a number of extension points to extend functionality. API-first architecture allows all functions to be accessed via API - not just a few. Microservices architectures are similar to SOA patterns in terms of using specialized, loosely coupled services, but go a step further in breaking down traditional infrastructures. API services within microservices architecture use a common messaging framework such as RESTful APIs. This allows API services to communicate with each other - without complex data conversion transactions or additional integration layers. The use of RESTful APIs enables the rapid provision of new functions and updates. Rest API can be one of the topics covered in an API course.
