RESTful API’s For Beginners
Can you understand APIs and RESTful APIs without needing to write any code? The answer is YES. This course you will learn about APIs and RESTful APIs, and how they work without the need for coding.
This course is designed to remove the sense of overwhelm and “scariness” when we start to talk about APIs. APIs and RESTful APIs come across as difficult or advanced subjects, but really it’s just two computers talking to each other and exchanging commands and data. No different than when your friend sends you a text message, and you text back.
By the end of this course, you will completely understand how APIs work, and how computers talk to each other. You’ll also be familiar with RESTful APIs which make use of the HTTP protocol. If that sounded confusing, scary, or overly technical — it’s not — it’s just a fancy way of saying “it uses the internet”.
