Welcome to the REST API guide! This page provides an overview of our RESTful API, including how to use it, and what it can do for you.

What is REST API?

REST (Representational State Transfer) is a software architectural style that provides a convenient and consistent approach to requesting and manipulating data.

Key Concepts

  • Resource: Anything that can be named and addressed.
  • URI: A unique identifier for a resource.
  • HTTP Methods: Used to perform actions on resources (GET, POST, PUT, DELETE, etc.).

Getting Started

To get started with our REST API, you need to:

  1. Obtain an API key.
  2. Register for an account if you haven't already.
  3. Read the API documentation to understand the available endpoints and how to use them.

API Endpoints

Our API provides various endpoints to access different resources. Here are some commonly used endpoints:

  • /users: Get information about users.
  • /orders: Retrieve order details.
  • /products: List available products.

Example Request

Here's an example of a GET request to retrieve user information:

GET /users/12345 HTTP/1.1
Host: api.example.com
Authorization: Bearer <your_api_key>

Rate Limits

Our API has rate limits to prevent abuse. If you exceed the limit, you will receive a 429 Too Many Requests response.
