REST API
A standard architectural style for designing APIs based on HTTP and resources.
REST (Representational State Transfer) is the dominant API design pattern in the modern web. REST APIs use HTTP verbs (GET, POST, PUT, DELETE) on URL-addressable resources. Most modern APIs are RESTful.
Example
Stripe's API uses REST: GET /v1/customers/cus_123 retrieves a customer; POST /v1/charges creates a new charge.
