REST API Documentation

REST API documentation is a guide that explains how to interact with a software service over the internet. It outlines available functions—like retrieving data or updating information—similar to a user manual for a device. Key elements include endpoints (addresses for accessing specific functions), methods (types of actions, like GET for retrieving data), and parameters (additional information needed for requests). Good documentation also provides examples, helping users understand how to make requests and what responses to expect. It’s essential for developers to integrate and use APIs effectively.
