Representational State Transfer (REST) is an architectural style that defines a set of constraints to be used for creating web services. REST API is a way of accessing web services in a simple and flexible way without having any processing....
An API (Application Programming Interface) is a set of rules, protocols, and tools that allows different software applications to communicate with each other....
The Client-server model is a distributed application structure that partitions tasks or workloads between the providers of a resource or service, called servers, and service requesters called clients. In the client-server architecture, when the client computer sends a request for data to the server through the internet, the server accepts the requested process and delivers the data packets requested back to the client. Clients do not share any of their resources. Examples of the Client-Server Model are Email, World Wide Web, etc....
The fetch() method is used to send the requests to the server without refreshing the page. It is an alternative to the XMLHttpRequest object.The basic syntax of a fetch() request is as follows:...
Representational state transfer (REST) is a software architectural style that defines a set of constraints to be used for creating Web services. Web services that conform to the REST architectural style, called RESTful Web services, provide interoperability between computer systems on the Internet. RESTful Web services allow the requesting systems to access and manipulate textual representations of Web resources by using a uniform and predefined set of stateless operations. Other kinds of Web services, such as SOAP Web services, expose their own arbitrary sets of operations....
API stands for Application Programming Interface. API is actually some kind of interface which is having a set of functions. These set of functions will allow programmers to acquire some specific features or the data of an application....
Fetching data from an API in ReactJS is a common and crucial task in modern web development. Fetching data from API helps in getting real-time updates dynamically and efficiently. API provides on-demand data as required rather than loading all data....
WebRTC is very popular for accessing device cameras and device microphones and streaming the video or audio media in the browser. But in many cases, we might need to record the streaming for future use or for users (Like user might want to download the streaming, etc.). In that case, we can use the MediaRecorder API to record the media streaming....
Free public APIs, like special tools for computer programs, are very important for lots of developers. They give a lot of information and features that can be used to make many different apps, like weather apps, news apps, and even tools for other developers....
The MediaDevices.getUserMedia() is a part of the webRTC media capture API and is used to get access to the camera and the microphone connected to the user device (user computer, smartphone, etc.) from the browser. When getUserMedia() is invoked, the browser asks for permission from the user to use the media inputs (camera or microphone or both) connected to the user device....
A Mashup (also known as web application hybrid), is a technique that websites use to provide resources, functionalities, and services from multiple sources. To put it in layman’s terms, a mashup works as an aggregator of different services. They mostly use public APIs that are generally free to use and thus, create a new service from existing ones....
API stands for Application Programming Interface (main participant of all the interactivity)
It is like a messenger that takes our requests to a system and returns a response back to us via seamless connectivity.
We use APIs in many cases like to get data for a web application or to connect to a remote server that has data like weather that keeps changing or to enable two applications to exchange data among each other.
API not only provide reusability of code but also uses the concept of Abstraction (showing functionality by hiding complexity).
Most common real life use of API concepts include:...
