REST API

Definition

Representational State Transfer API -- an architectural style for building web APIs that uses standard HTTP methods to access and manipulate resources.

REST APIs use HTTP verbs (GET, POST, PUT, DELETE) to perform operations on resources identified by URLs. They are stateless, meaning each request contains all the information needed to process it. REST is the most widely used API architecture in B2B SaaS, and most GTM tools expose REST APIs for integration. Understanding REST concepts is essential for anyone building or troubleshooting integrations between GTM systems.
