Who interact with REST API?

RESTful APIs (Representational State Transfer) allow different types of applications to interact with each other and share data.

The following are the main types of entities that interact with a REST API:

  • Web clients: Web browsers or mobile apps can make HTTP requests to a REST API to retrieve or update data.
  • Server-side applications: Other servers or back-end systems can also make HTTP requests to a REST API to retrieve or update data.
  • Developers: Developers can use a REST API to access data or functionality of a third-party service, or to expose their own data or functionality to other applications.
  • Users: Users can interact with a REST API through a web or mobile interface, or through an application that uses the API to access data on their behalf.

Conclusion

RESTful APIs can be used by a wide variety of entities, including web clients, server-side applications, developers and users.
