What is a API?

An API or Application Programming Interface is a set of programming instructions for accessing a web-based software application.

In general API's are like below, they have server name, paths.., etc

http://<server name>/v1/export/Publisher/Standard_Publisher_Report?format=csv

There are mainly 4 methods involve in API Testing like GET, POST, Delete, and PUT.
______________________________________________________________________

GET :-
The GET method is used to extract information from the given server using a given URI. While using GET request, it should only extract data and should have no other effect on the data.

POST :-
A POST request is used to create a new entity. It can also be used to send data to the server, 
ex.: Customer information, file upload, etc. using HTML forms.

PUT :-
Create a new entity or update an existing one.

DELETE :-
Removes all current representations of the target resource given by a URI.
