Line 2: [[File:Screenshot of NASA API documentation.png\|thumb\|Screenshot of web API documentation written by NASA]] A '''web API''' is an [[API\|application programming interface]] (API) for either a [[web server]] or a [[web browser]]. As a web development concept, it can be related to a web application's [[client side]] (including any [[web ~~frameworks~~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 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]]
