An API (Application Programming Interface) is a set of programming instructions for accessing a web- based software application. In other words, a set of commands used by an individual program to communicate with one another directly and use each other’s functions to get desired information.
There are different types of API’s like Class based API’s (JAVA API, Android API), Library-based API’s (JavaScript, TWAIN) and web-service API’s (SOAP, JSON-RPC and REST).
REST stands for Representational State Transfer. It is primarily used to build Web services that are lightweight, maintainable, and scalable. Any service based on REST is called as RESTful service. REST can be explained as a way to access resources which lie in a particular environment. For example, you can have a server that hosts important documents, pictures and/or videos.
In the REST architectural style, data and functionality are considered resources and are accessed using Uniform Resource Identifiers (URIs), typically links on the Web. We will study all these terminologies in detail in course syllabus.

Is REST dependent on protocol?
No, REST is not dependent on any protocol, but almost every RESTful service uses HTTP as its underlying protocol.
Is REST different from SOAP web service?
Yes REST services are different from SOAP web service.
Where can I find good articles on REST API?
There are various platforms/sites where we can get good details on REST API, one of example is https://restfulapi.net
Which version of REST API should we use?
REST doesn’t provide for any specific versioning guidelines but the more commonly used approaches fall into three categories – URI Versioning, Versioning using Custom Request Header and Versioning using Accept header. You can read more at https://restfulapi.net/versioning/
What if I missed one of my session of this course?
We arrange some extra time so that you can align yourself with the ongoing class.
What is the refund policy?
For Virtual Instructor-Led (IVLT) training:
You are requested to raise the refund request within 7 days of the beginning of the first batch in which you are eligible to attend. Refund/Money back does not apply in any other condition, except the batch is cancelled by DevLabs Alliance due to instructor unavailability insufficient enrollments, or forced measures(like floods, earthquakes, national/global pandemic, political instability, etc.). However, the learner can choose to join another batch of the same training/course after discussing with DevLabs Alliance management.
For refund conditions, please refer to the “Refund” section below.
For Classroom Training
We may need to postpone/cancel an event because of many reasons, such as insufficient enrollments, instructor unavailability, or force majeure events (like floods, earthquakes, political instability, etc). For refund conditions, please refer to the “Refund” section below.
For Refund(applicable for IVLT and Classroom training)
If we cancel an event, 100 percent of training/course fees will be refunded to the learner.
If a cancellation is done by an attendee, 7 days (or more) before the batch begins, a total of 10% of the total paid fee will be deducted and the remaining amount will be refunded to the learner.
If a cancellation is done by a learner within 7 days (or less) of the start of the batch or after attending a maximum of 2 classes, 25% of the total paid fee will be deducted and the remaining amount will be refunded to the learner.
