# REST API Skill · Web Development Canonical page: https://career.thegoodapps.co/skills/rest-api A REST API (Representational State Transfer Application Programming Interface) is a web service architecture that allows systems to communicate over HTTP using standard methods like GET, POST, PUT, and DELETE to create, read, update, and delete resources. It is stateless, resource-oriented, and typically exchanges data in JSON or XML format, making it a widely used standard for building scalable web and mobile applications. Backend developers design and consume REST APIs to connect front-end applications with databases and other services. ## REST API in the job market - Open roles: 19 - Employers hiring: 15 - Last checked: September 12, 2026 ## Asked for alongside REST API Measured from the 19 open roles that name REST API, not from a curated list. -
