A REST API (also called a RESTful API or RESTful web API) is an application programming interface (API) that conforms to the design principles of the representational state transfer (REST) architectural style. REST APIs provide a flexible, lightweight way to integrate applications and to connect ...
All API requests for the same resource should look the same, no matter where the request comes from. The REST API should ensure that the same piece of data, such as the name or email address of a user, belongs to only one uniform resource identifier (URI). Resources shouldn’t be too...

To achieve this, you’d need to use the Twitter API’s filtered stream endpoint. So, let’s see how to make a request. Step 1: Choose the correct HTTP method. When discussing web APIs, we’re usually talking about a type of API called a REST API, which utilizes HTTP methods that ...
APIsthat adhere to REST constraints are called REST or RESTful APIs. REST API Constraints REST has six (6) architectural constraints that serve as high-level guidelines for designing distributed software systems. By applying REST constraints, developers can induce and improve the non-functional propert...
In the REST API system, the client and server work independently, using different tech stacks. The client doesn’t need to know anything about business logic, while the server has no idea about the user interface. The separation of responsibilities means that API providers and API consumers can...
It is very easy to create Delphi servers and publish APIs and Rest resources. Congratulations to Daniele Teti and all the staff for the excellent work!" -- Marcos N. We started the process of migrating our systems to micro services and are loving the DMVCFramework "DMVCFramework is ...
A big thanks to Howard Dierking for giving me the latitude and encouragement to take the series where I thought would be most useful and practical. Thanks also to Gary Clarke and the rest of the MSDN Magazine staff for their helpful suggestions, patience, and quick turn-around while editing...
The setup process, using the atsetup utility, constructs this custom "room" (Python environment alltalk_environment) with all the necessary tools and furnishings (libraries and dependencies) that AllTalk needs to function smoothly, without meddling with the rest of your "house" (computer system). ...
