  What is restfulAPI? ●REST - Representational State Transfer ● REST is an architecture style for designing networked applications. ● In many ways, the World Wide Web itself, based on HTTP, can be viewed as a REST- based architecture. ● RESTful API uses versioning. e.g POST /V1/todos/ ● RESTful API explicitly take advantage of HTTP methodologies defined by the RFC 2616 protocol. They simply use "PUT" to change the state of or update a resource, which can be an object, file or block; "GET" to retrieve a resource; POST" to create that resource; and "DELETE" to remove it. ● Restful API uses HTTP Headers add information about the request and the response. ● Restful API uses HTTP Status Codes Correctly. ● Restful API is stateless. ● Restful API commonly use JSON or XML as a form of response. ● Each API request returns a subsequent API response.

  A stateless protocoldoes not require the server to retain information or status about each user for the duration of multiple requests.

  Requests are madeup of a verb (POST, in this example), headers that describe the message, and a body (Hello World, in this example). The request is a message that describes what you want the server to accomplish. Likewise, the response consists of three pieces: a status code (200), headers describing the response and the body itself. HTTP Verbs describe the type of operation: GET: Retrieve a resource POST: Create a resource PUT: Update a resource DELETE: Delete a resource On the Web, the most common verb is GET. This is because the main purpose of a Web page's function is to request different resources that make up a page. In REST- based APIs, we leverage these verbs to describe the types of operations we want.

  How about thesecurity? ● REST api can be exposed to the public. They usually call it as Public APIs ● You can use OAUTH, HTTP Basic or JWT. ● OAuth is an open standard for authorization, commonly used as a way for Internet users to log in to third party websites using their Google, Facebook, Microsoft, Twitter, One Network, etc. accounts without exposing their password. ● HTTP Basic - In the context of an HTTP transaction basic access authentication is a method for an HTTP user agent to provide a user name and password when making a request. ● JSON Web Tokens are an open, industry standard RFC 7519 method for representing claims securely between two parties.
