What Is a REST API?
A REST API is a widely used method for apps and systems to communicate using simple URLs and JSON data. It is the most common way modern web and mobile systems share information.

- Automate tasks across multiple platforms
REST APIs are ideal for SMEs across London, Hertfordshire and Essex who need flexible integrations without large enterprise costs.
