    Definition

    What is REST API?

    A REST API is a way for software to talk to other software over the web using standard HTTP requests, letting developers read and change data in a service programmatically.

    REST (Representational State Transfer) is a common style for web APIs. Resources like tasks or contacts have URLs, and standard HTTP methods: GET to read, POST to create, PUT or PATCH to update, DELETE to remove, act on them.

    A REST API turns a product into a platform. Developers can build integrations, sync data, and automate workflows against it, extending the software far beyond its own interface.

    Atlas offers a REST API plus webhooks so teams can connect the tools they keep, build custom integrations, and move data in and out of the workspace.
