    APIs, or Application Programming Interfaces, are essential building blocks of modern software development, enabling seamless communication between different applications and systems. Understanding the distinctions between REST, Web, and SOAP APIs is crucial for developers, tech enthusiasts, and anyone curious about the underlying mechanisms that power the digital world. We will break down each API type and explain their key features, protocols and when to use them in simple terms. We'll explore REST API (Representational State Transfer), renowned for its simplicity, scalability, and compatibility with the web. We'll also dive into Web APIs, which encompass a broader range of APIs used to expose functionalities and data over the internet. Lastly, we'll demystify SOAP API (Simple Object Access Protocol), which follows a more formal and structured approach.
    Throughout this video, we'll compare and contrast these three API types across various aspects such as data format, transport protocols, performance, security, and ease of implementation, etc. You'll gain valuable insights into when to choose REST, Web, or SOAP APIs based on specific project requirements, system architectures, and integration scenarios.
    Whether you're a developer seeking a deeper understanding of APIs or simply intrigued by the inner workings of these technologies, this video is designed to provide clarity and demystify the world of REST API, Web API, and SOAP API.
    Don't miss this opportunity to enhance your knowledge and broaden your understanding of APIs. Hit the play button now and embark on a fascinating journey through the intricacies of REST API vs SOAP API vs Web API!

    Is REST API and WEB API are same, when i'm using Java Springs ?
    It's like when we return the MAV then it is a Web Api And when we returns the Array or Object then it is a Rest API ?

    isnt a soap/rest api a web api?

  • @straightlegmusic5269
    @straightlegmusic5269 6 місяців тому

    If REST is stateless, how is it good for apps with real-time communication? I thought chat apps typically relied on (stateful) websockets?

    • @mdk1983
      @mdk1983 5 місяців тому +4

      websockets works over TCP, whereas REST is over HTTP or HTTPS. With async calls happening from client through JavaScript frameworks, it is very good idea to build chat apps using REST as it is very lightweight as well.

    Good content, i have a doubt here, is postman a rest api?

    • @learnwithwhiteboard
      @learnwithwhiteboard  Рік тому +9

      Although Postman began as a REST client, its not anymore. Now, Postman is a popular collaboration platform for API development and testing. It provides a user-friendly interface that allows developers to make HTTP requests and test APIs. So, in a nutshell, while Postman is commonly used to interact with RESTful APIs, it is not an API itself.

    where to start with SOAP API? are there any courses that you point to please?

    • @princezuko7073
      @princezuko7073 2 місяці тому

      No need. New companies don't use SOAP anymore. And I won't call it API either. Rather we can just call it a protocol. like http.

    Is api and server same

    • @learnwithwhiteboard
      @learnwithwhiteboard  11 місяців тому

      No, an API (stands for Application Programming Interface) and a server are not the same.
      A server is a computer or software that provides services and resources to other computers or clients over a network. It manages data, processes requests, and delivers responses.
      On the other hand, an API is a set of rules and protocols that allows different software applications to communicate and interact with each other. It acts as an intermediary, enabling developers to access specific features or data from a server without needing to understand its internal workings

    • @filmytime976
      @filmytime976 11 місяців тому

      No,
      We send the API request (URL) to the server, Server consists of business logic codes and returns the Response as related to the requested API.

    Why not have one system that uses the best of all?

  • @princezuko7073
    @princezuko7073 2 місяці тому

    Should we use API when talking about SOAP? Rather we can just call it a protocol. like http.

    API doesnt need to send at any point json type of results from the application it can use any type of the resource encodings like webstreams.
