API (Application Programming Interface)
An API is a contract that lets software systems request approved data or actions from one another through documented endpoints.
API Endpoint
A REST endpoint is an API entry point where an HTTP method and URL path expose a specific resource or operation to clients.
API Versioning
API versioning defines a release strategy for new fields, rules, and endpoint changes without breaking existing clients.
HTTP Methods
HTTP methods are standard verbs that tell a server whether a resource should be read, created, updated, partially changed, or deleted.
HTTP Status Codes
HTTP status codes are three-digit response signals showing whether a request succeeded, was redirected, or failed on the client or server side.
Idempotent
An idempotent operation leaves the system in the same final state whether the same request runs once or several times.
Microservice Communication
Microservice communication is how independent services exchange data and commands through REST, gRPC, events, or message queues.
REST API
A REST API designs web services around resources and HTTP methods, making integrations predictable across web and mobile systems.
