Where is the best resources for learning how to use Rest API?

Question

I recently was told that I could use this tool to make specific requests on a system. The report building is a little behind so this is what was given to me as a workaround. Anything will help. not sure what language it is either.

Answer 1

Rest Api can be done in almost any language but you can use ASP.NET for this as well as django and php. Since you tagged c# i would suggest asp.net since its basically the same thing. Good place to start would be https://youtu.be/zWFoZb6EiwU

In other words rest api is just that, an api you build to handle requests and information over the Internet. Whatever language you end up choosing the basic principles remains.

I use this personally to handle database requests on desktop app to not store or handle sensetive database information client side. Fun fact is that solo learn runs on asp.net iis serverside :)

Answer 2

RESTful API is an API Structure rather than an API itself. You create a RESTful API, It uses JSON as a print out of requested data from a database.
