Application Programming Interface (API) allows developers and clients to conveniently communicate with backend services and receive the responses they expect. REpresentational State Transfer (REST) APIs are among the protocols used by such companies as Amazon, Netflix, Uber, Spotify, Salesforce, and others to integrate different services and data and improve user experience. They also apply gRPC, GraphQL, and other protocols for specific needs.
