Rest API
- Content Writers
Overview
The Rest API action specifically adheres to the principles of REST (Representational State Transfer) architecture, which uses standard HTTP methods like GET, POST, PUT, and DELETE to interact with resources on remote servers.
In workflows, REST APIs enable applications to access, manipulate, or exchange data with other systems or cloud-based services.
This action is highly versatile and can be used to perform a wide range of tasks, such as fetching data from third-party services, updating records in remote databases, or interfacing with cloud storage systems.
By following REST principles, workflows can ensure compatibility and reliability in communication with external services, making this action a powerful tool for integrating various applications and systems.
Let’s explore the screens that follow, after drag-n-drop of Rest API action on workflow canvas.
