What is Sync API and Other API’s ?
Hi @Sambhav_Verma !!
A Sync API generally refers to an API that ensures data, files, or configurations are in sync across multiple systems, environments, or services. This is particularly useful when you have distributed systems or multiple environments that need to be kept consistent with each other.
For Example-In a cloud-based service, you might have an application running in multiple regions or data centers. A sync API would ensure that data, like user settings or application state, is consistent across all regions so that users experience a seamless experience regardless of the region they are in.
While Other APIs can cover a wide range of functionality, depending on the system or service they are designed for. These can be RESTful APIs, GraphQL APIs, or SOAP APIs, among others.
REST (Representational State Transfer) is a common architectural style for building web services. A RESTful API allows different applications to communicate over HTTP, and typically uses standard HTTP methods like GET, POST, PUT, DELETE, etc.
SOAP (Simple Object Access Protocol) is a protocol for exchanging structured information in web services. It uses XML to define its messages and typically relies on HTTP or SMTP for communication.
