A RESTful API is a web service interface that follows the principles of Representational State Transfer (REST), using standard HTTP methods like GET, POST, PUT, and DELETE to operate on resources identified by URLs. It emphasizes statelessness, a uniform interface, and resource-based design, making it a common architecture for web and mobile application backends. Software engineers and backend developers build and consume RESTful APIs to enable communication between clients and servers.
