Think of a REST API as the digital waiter in a restaurant. You, the Client don't just walk into the kitchen and grab what you want; instead, you place a formal HTTP Request through a standardized menu. This request tells the Server exactly what you need using a specific Endpoint and an HTTP Method  like GET, POST or DELETE . Make API Callout In Salesforce public static void callAPI() { // Define the URL before using it String url = 'https://www.themealdb.com/api/json/v1/1/search.php?s=pizza'; // Instantiate a new Http object Http h = new Http(); // Instantiate a new HTTP request, specify the method (GET) as well as the endpoint HttpRequest req = new HttpRequest(); req.setEndpoint(url); // Set the URL endpoint req.setMethod('GET'); // Set the HTTP method // Set headers correctly using separate setHeader calls // req.setHeader('X-Key', 'Your API-Key'); // Send the request and get res...

It provides users with a single endpoint to request all necessary data from in a single request. Applications that utilise GraphQL APIs are frequently far more efficient than those that stick with REST APIs. This is due to their capacity to retrieve all required data in a single invocation, which reduces the number of round trips to the server, allowing you to customise it to meet your needs. Why GraphQL is better than REST API? REST API is the gold standard for APIs, yet traditional REST APIs present significant issues when developing modern, highly performant, and scalable online and mobile applications. REST endpoints do not allow client changes to the API endpoint's response.   For example, when fetching a user's phone number from a REST API, receiving extraneous data beyond the number adds unnecessary costs for both the server and the requester. ...
