REST API
What is a REST API?
The REST (Representational State Transfer) API is an architecture style for communication between systems over HTTP. A REST API uses standard HTTP methods like GET, POST, PUT and DELETE to manipulate resources.
REST API in web shops
Online store platforms offer REST APIs so that external systems can integrate with the store. Typical uses:
- Synchronizing products from ERP or PIM system
- Retrieve orders to an inventory management system
- Update inventory from an external system
- Create customers from CRM
