"《API入门指南》由Brian Cooksey撰写，编辑工作由Bryan Landers和Danny Schreiber共同完成，封面设计则出自Stephanie Briones的手笔。该书首次发布日期为2014年4月23日，由Zapier, Inc.出品。这本书旨在帮助读者理解并掌握API（应用程序编程接口）的概念和实际应用。本书以一种易于理解的方式引导读者进入API的世界。首先，它澄清了一些可能耳熟能详但未深入了解的技术术语，确保非技术人员也能跟上节奏。课程结构巧妙，每一步都引入新的概念，从基础概念如API的工作原理，到更深入的细节，如RESTful API、SOAP和GraphQL等不同类型的API。随着学习的深入，读者会逐渐对API的种类、如何创建和调用API以及其在企业系统集成中的作用有清晰的认识。对于软件开发者来说，虽然最初的章节可能会被视为基础知识的复习，但请坚持下去，因为后续的内容将提供他们在开发过程中非常实用的知识和技巧。例如，书中会涉及API的安全性、认证、错误处理以及如何利用API构建自动化工作流，如Facebook如何自动显示Instagram照片，或者Evernote如何实现在电脑和手机间同步笔记。此外，本书还包含了互动练习和额外资源，可以在Zapier网站的learn/apis免费获取，这使得学习过程更加生动且实践性强。《API入门指南》是一本适合所有希望了解或提升API技能的读者的宝贵资源，无论你是技术背景还是非技术背景，都能从中受益匪浅。通过阅读本书，读者不仅能够明白API背后的技术逻辑，还有机会尝试构建自己的API应用，从而推动业务流程的高效集成和自动化。"

URL

URLs are familiar to us through our daily use of the web, but have you

ever taken a moment to consider their structure? In HTTP, a URL is a

unique address for a thing (a noun). Which things get addresses is

entirely up to the business running the server. They can make URLs for

web pages, images, or even videos of cute animals.

APIs extend this idea a bit further to include nouns like customers,

products, and tweets. In doing so, URLs become an easy way for the

client to tell the server which thing it wants to interact with. Of course,

APIs also do not call them "things", but give them the technical name

"resources."

Method

The request method tells the server what kind of action the client wants

the server to take. In fact, the method is commonly referred to as the

request "verb."

The four methods most commonly seen in APIs are:

• GET - Asks the server to retrieve a resource

• POST - Asks the server to create a new resource

• PUT - Asks the server to edit/update an existing resource

• DELETE - Asks the server to delete a resource
