Today, we’ll be looking at HTTP Requests, API’s, and how to use Postman to play with a server.
Before diving too deep, let’s start with a plain English look at the basics.
What is a HTTP Request?
Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) — allows a client (think laptop, smartphone, tablet, etc.) and a server (computing device you aren’t physically interacting with) to communicate.
HTTP requests allow websites and applications to retrieve, store, and modify data from a client to a server.
