## API development
[API (Application Programming Interface)](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/API) an interface which describes a certain set of rules by which different programs (applications, bots, websites...) can interact with each other. With API calls you can execute certain functions of a program without knowing how it works.
When developing server applications, different API formats can be used, depending on the tasks and requirements.
- ### REST API
[REST (Representational State Transfer)](https://ru.wikipedia.org/wiki/REST) an architectural approach that describes a set of rules for how a programmer organizes the writing of server application code so that all systems can easily exchange data and the application can be easily scaled. When building a REST API, HTTP protocol methods are widely used.
Basic rules for writing a good REST API:
- Each URL-endpoint must be a noun
> To perform different operations (get/create/update/delete), this endpoint must implement handlers for the corresponding HTTP methods (GET/POST/PUT/DELETE).
- Use of plural names
> For example, the endpoint to get one record by id looks like this: `/task/42`, and to get all records like this: `/tasks`.
- Using versioning
> Detailed instructions are described [here](https://www.freecodecamp.org/news/how-to-version-a-rest-api/).
- Sending the appropriate HTTP response codes
> The most commonly used: [200](https://developer.mozilla.org/en/docs/Web/HTTP/Status/200), [201](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/Status/201), [204](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/Status/204), [304](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/Status/304), [400](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/Status/400), [401](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/Status/401), [403](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/Status/403), [404](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/Status/404), [405](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/Status/405), [410](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/Status/410), [415](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/Status/415), [422](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/Status/422), [429](https://developer.mozilla.org/ru/docs/Web/HTTP/Status/429).
