00:00:02 Now that you understand how APIs work, let's explore the different types of APIs you'll encounter.
00:00:08 First and most popular are RESTful APIs.
00:00:12 A REST, or Representational State Transfer API, is the most common thing you'll see.
00:00:19 It follows a structured approach where clients interact with resources using URLs and standard HTTP methods like get, post,
00:00:28 put, and delete.
00:00:29 They're stateless, which means that each request is independent and doesn't rely on previous ones.
00:00:36 And they typically use JSON, making it super compatible across all apps.
00:00:41 They're organized, predictable, and easy to implement, which is why they're so widely used in web development and the reason why you'll learn how to build
00:00:50 one yourself today.
00:00:51 There are also GraphQL APIs developed by Facebook, which offer more flexibility than REST APIs by letting clients request exactly the data they need.
00:01:02 Instead of multiple endpoints for different data, GraphQL uses one forward slash GraphQL endpoint.
00:01:09 And then clients can specify the exact fields they want without them being previously defined in the code, which is super efficient for complex applications
00:01:19 with lots of interconnected data.
00:01:21 So GraphQL really shines when you're dealing with large datasets or need to reduce over-fetching or under-fetching data.
00:01:28 But to build any of these APIs, you'll need a backend language.
00:01:33 So let's explore a few.
