API Calls - UiPath

What is an API?

API - Application Programming Interface
Allows to communicate with two or more Applications

Ex: Youtube, bank websites, facebook all other websites

Why we use?
To exchange data/ to transform the data

Exchange data between client and server
Client - browser
Server - Facebook, youtube etc.,


How it works??
URL - Uniform Resource Loader
A unique reference to a web resource
to identify the exact location from the computer network

Http request - A request made by the client to the host on the server.

URL
Ex: www.youtube.com

Request Method
Ex: Get, Post, put, delete

Body/parameters
Ex: Channel Name = Uipath by Sujitha

Authentication

http response - the response to the client made by the Resource

Response code
Ex: 200 Ok, 401

Response
Ex: json format/xml
