Hello, week-9. I want to post a blog to quickly review the API topic to learn more about REST calls. I got confused; I researched about it. It has the Understanding And Using REST APIs.

What is a REST API

API (Application Programming Interface) – A set of rules allows programs to support any other. The developer creates the API on the server and enables the client to speak to it. 

The REST (Representational State Transfer) determines how the API. It is a set of rules that developers follow when they create their API. One of the rules states that one should get data (called a resource) when linking to a specific URL. Each URL made a request, while the data sent back to is called a response.

The Anatomy Of A Request #

It’s important to know that a request with four points:

• The endpoint
• The method
• The headers
• The data (or body)
  

The endpoint – URL that requests for (root-endpoint/?). The root-endpoint is the starting point of the API that is ordering.

The path determines the resource request. For example, it is like an automatic answering machine. That asks to press 1 for service, press 2 for another service, 3 for yet another service, and so on.

The Method

The method is the type of request sent to the server:

• GET – Request to get a resource from a server. It will perform a `GET` request; the server looks for the requested data and sends it back.
• POST – Request to create a new resource on a server. It performs a `POST` request, the server creates a new entry in the database and tells whether the creation is successful.
• PUT & PATCH – Requests to update a resource on a server. If performing a `PUT` or `PATCH` request, the server updates an entry in the database and tells whether the update is successful.
• DELETE – Request to delete a resource from a server. If performing a `DELETE` request, the server deletes an entry in the database and tells whether the deletion is successful.

These methods provide meaning for the request made. Perform steps: Create, Read, Update and Delete (CRUD).

The HEAD: it used to provide information to both the client and server. It has many purposes, such as authentication and giving information about the body content. It can find a list of valid headers on MDN’s HTTP Headers Reference.

The Data – contains information sent to the server. It only used POST, PUT, PATCH, or DELETE requests.

This week I researched more about docker to know what it exactly is and what are the applications of it. I had never heard or used docker before I joined this class and since we use docker for almost every class I was just curious to learn more about it and from the things learned during the class, it looks like docker is one of the useful software and very versatile in the field of software development.

Docker is a set of platforms as a service product that uses OS-level virtualization that delivers different software in packages and they are called containers or Docker can also be referred to as an open-source platform for building, deploying, and managing containerized applications. Since docker is open-source, it enables developers to package their application into containers, these containers simplify the delivery of distributed applications and has become popular as different organizations shift to could-native development and hybrid multi-cloud environments. A docker file contains simple textile that starts with every docker container and contains instructions for how to build a Docker container image, that file automates the process of Docker image creation. Docker image contains executable application source code as well as all the necessary libraries, tools the application code needs to run the container properly. Docker images are made up of layers, and each of those layers corresponds to the version of the image. Docker containers are the live, runner instances of the Docker images and this helps users to interact with them, thus one can adjust their setting according to their preferences. Docker hub is a public repository where Docker images are stored and can be used by all Docker Hub users. The advantages of using Docker are they are cost-effective with fast Deployment, Able to run anywhere, Flexibility, and so on, the disadvantages are its advances quickly thus but lack documentation that makes some developers hunt for information which then wastes time for those developers, some developers find switching to docker is a quite a steep learning curve thus making it hard to understand for some people.

I choose this article because it explains Docker and its tools in the simplest way which helped me understand more about docker since it’s the first time I have ever used this application. It explains the advantages of using docker and this article provided clear information on different aspects of docker such as Docker File, Docker images, Docker containers. And since its one of the most used application throughout the software developers it will be important for me too in the future as a software developer.
