API Basics
Consume and design simple APIs
APIs expose functionality via endpoints using verbs, headers, and structured payloads, often JSON.
- endpoints
- http methods
- json
- authentication
- status codes
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.
