Anatomy of a Request

REST: Representational State Transfer

• The rules that developers follow when they create their API (allows programs to talk to each other)

• Rest API Rule:

You should be able to get a piece of data (called a resource) when you link to a specific URL.

Each URL is called a request while the data sent back to you is called a response.

Anatomy of a request:

1. The Endpoint
2. The Method
3. The Headers
4. The data/body

Endpoint: aka route, the url you request for - follows this structure:

root-endpoint/?
