API Basics

Consume and design simple APIs

APIs expose functionality via endpoints using verbs, headers, and structured payloads, often JSON.

Key Concepts

Endpoints map to resources; verbs like GET, POST, PUT, DELETE define actions.

Requests

Use headers for auth and content type; send/receive JSON payloads with clear schemas.

Good Practice

Document endpoints, use meaningful status codes, and version your API.
