As a [[web development]] concept, it can be related to a [[web application]]'s [[client side]] (including any [[web framework]]s being used). A [[server-side]] web API consists of one or more publicly exposed '''endpoints''' to a defined [[request–response]] message system, typically expressed in [[JSON]] or [[XML]] by means of an [[HTTP]]-based [[web server]]. A [[~~server application programming interface\|~~server API]] (SAPI) is not considered a server-side web API, unless it is publicly accessible by a remote web application. ==Client side== Line 83 ⟶ 84: ==See also== [[API]] [[Dynamic web page]] *[[Overview of RESTful API Description Languages]]
