OData

OData (Open Data Protocol) is an OASIS standard that defines best practices for building and consuming RESTful APIs. It enables the creation of query-based data services over HTTP, providing a uniform way to describe data and data models, query and edit data, and perform batch operations.

OData publishes 3 APIs on the APIs.io network: $Batch API, $Metadata API, and OData Service API API. Tagged areas include OASIS Standard, OData, Open Data Protocol, Query Language, and RESTful APIs.

OData’s developer surface includes documentation, engineering blog, and 5 more developer resources.
