Welcome to the "Getting Started with API" tutorial! In this guide, we will cover the basics of API development and how to get started on our platform.

Basic Concepts

  • API (Application Programming Interface): A set of rules and protocols for building and interacting with software applications.
  • Endpoints: Specific URLs that you can send requests to.
  • HTTP Methods: Ways to interact with an API, such as GET, POST, PUT, DELETE.

Step-by-Step Guide

  1. Sign Up: First, you need to sign up for an account on our platform.
  2. Create a Project: Once you are signed up, create a new project for your API.
  3. Define Endpoints: Define the endpoints for your API by specifying the URL and HTTP methods.
  4. Implement Logic: Implement the logic for your endpoints using your preferred programming language.
  5. Test Your API: Test your API using tools like Postman or cURL.
