Concepts behind this area
HTTP
HTTP is the request-and-response protocol of the web: a client sends a method, a path and headers, a server answers with a status code, headers and a body, and each exchange stands alone unless the two sides agree to carry state in a header.
REST API
A REST API exposes an application's data as resources at stable addresses and lets clients read and change them with HTTP's standard methods and status codes, so that the protocol itself carries most of the meaning.
Python
Python is a general-purpose programming language that became the standard interface for driving numerical and machine-learning code written in other languages.
