==Redirect==
{{WikiProject Internet |class=Start}}
I think that this should not redirect to API, since Web APIs are an important topic on their own. Nor should it redirect to the possible synonym Web Services, since the current article defines Web Services as using WSDL and SOAP, and thusly defined Web API is not synonymous with Web Service, since not all Web APIs use these technologies. So in short I think that this should become an article. [[User:Boyprose|Boyprose]] ([[User talk:Boyprose|talk]]) 00:33, 17 September 2009 (UTC)

:It occurs to me that this article might better be called [[API (web)]]. Any comments? [[User:Boyprose|Boyprose]] ([[User talk:Boyprose|talk]]) 01:40, 17 September 2009 (UTC)

::I disagree. Its naming is inline with many other articles such as [[web browser]], [[web service]], [[web cache]], etc. [[Special:Contributions/50.53.15.59|50.53.15.59]] ([[User talk:50.53.15.59|talk]]) 15:21, 7 March 2013 (UTC)
 
:::However ''browser'', ''service'' and ''cache'' are not acronyms. I've added a redirect from [[API (web)]] and others, anyway. --[[User:Nemo_bis|Nemo]] 11:02, 4 April 2013 (UTC)
 
I believe that this concept is different enough from that of Web API to merit its own page. To me, web API implies a series of specified parameters that a developer uses to store/retrieve data from the back end or manipulate data and objects from the front end. Webhooks seem like more of a way to check for errors through verification processes, or to ensure that data stays 'fresh' [[Special:Contributions/75.182.97.223|75.182.97.223]] ([[User talk:75.182.97.223|talk]]) 20:15, 27 December 2013 (UTC)

== 'Endpoints' section ==

This section is unclear, and seems just to describe URLs. Is there a reason to keep it? [[User:Wootery|Wootery]] ([[User talk:Wootery|talk]]) 19:02, 21 May 2020 (UTC)
 
== Mention GraphQL ==
 
At this point in time, [[GraphQL]] seems to be a serious contender. Perhaps it should be mentioned alongside REST? [[User:Compsciasaur|Compsciasaur]] ([[User talk:Compsciasaur|talk]]) 00:05, 18 January 2022 (UTC)
