REST API

An API, or Application Programming Interface, enables communication between different applications. REST, meaning Representational State Transfer, is a standard for internet communication using HTTP methods like GET to retrieve data. For instance, e-commerce apps use REST APIs to manage products. To build reliable REST APIs, FastAPI provides a modern Python framework. It simplifies essential development challenges, specifically focusing on data validation, error handling, and testing to ensure that the resulting API is robust, secure, and reliable.
