What is REST API? REST stands for Representational State Transfer and API stands for Application Programming Interface.

Representational – the resource (image, page, video, profile) is presented by the web server to the client in any format such as HTML, image, JSON, XML, etc.

State – the state of the application (website) on a client's computer changes as the client clicks from one link to the next. When the client clicks the link, it requests additional resources and the application/"state" changes.

Transfer – the transfer of resources from the web server to the client in a /"representative/" state that can be read by the client or implemented by the programmer in the application program. Transfer can also refer to the transfer of application state as the client browses a web site.

API – Application Programming Interface provides useful methods/functions that a programmer can implement into his own application in a chosen programming language like PHP. API makes it easier for programmers to implement. It is important to note that the response we get when we send a REST API request is usually in JSON, XML or some other format, which makes it easier to implement into the code and is not meant to be read immediately by a human.
