Overview
A Web API is an interface that provides a wide range of functions for web applications.
With APIs, web applications can provide storage, messaging, computing, and other services, helping you develop powerful web applications.
For example, you can use a Web API to retrieve data from databases through the GET method and make it available to other applications.
A Web API is a Representational State Transfer (REST) interface, not a backend or JavaScript interface.
A REST API is commonly implemented over HTTP. Clients send HTTP requests to specific URLs to access resources and receive response data from the backend.
