Overview

REST (Representational State Transfer) API integration involves designing, consuming, and building web services that follow REST architectural principles. This includes understanding HTTP methods (GET, POST, PUT, DELETE), status codes, authentication mechanisms (OAuth, JWT, API keys), data serialization formats (JSON, XML), and best practices for API versioning and error handling. REST API skills are fundamental to modern application development, enabling communication between mobile apps, web frontends, and backend services.
