REST
REST (Representational State Transfer) is an architectural style for designing networked applications that uses stateless communication and standard HTTP methods to interact with resources identified by URLs. Its simplicity, scalability, and alignment with the web’s architecture have made it the dominant approach for building web APIs.
Also known as Representational State Transfer, REST Architecture, RESTful.
Providers that carry REST 136
These providers' own APIs.json profiles carry REST as a tag — the provider's statement that the standard is part of what it does. APIs.io has not verified the implementation on this page; the de facto profiles on this site are where that measurement exists. Ordered by Kin Score; the top 60 of 136 are shown, and the tag page lists them all.
