Comparing web API types: SOAP, REST, GraphQL and RPC
Ғылым және технология
Building a web API, developers need to pick the right API paradigm first. The choice among RPC, REST, GraphQL, or SOAP specification will dictate the way of your client-server communication.
We're overviewing the core principles of each, its strengths and weaknesses against the three others to help you differentiate among them and see the cases in which each API paradigm will fit better.

Whoever is making these videos. Please never stop. It's hard to find such sleek and useful content. Your channel is a hidden gem.
I feel that a lot of effort was made when creating this video. Pretty good content!
struggled a bit with all the api types - but this video gave me the insight I needed
I have had a hard time finding information on just a birds eye view of the different types of API technology and how they basically work until I watched this video which is the best I have ever seen on this topic by far.
I took me more then an hour to watch this video along with goggling some things mentioned in it and making notes. It is sooo good. Thank you

Amazing video. I’ve been searching for a simple explanation like this. I don’t know why there is only info about REST
Excellent content which clearly explains the different forms of API and why each of these came into existence over time. Great work!!
Best gem on youtube. Pls keep doing videos like this. Nothing more nothing less.
Really well-presented! Thank you, easy to follow by non-technical people too :)
I love how those animations are designed, but I've found it difficult to focus at her voice because the music is constantly changing, turning off and on all the time, plus I'd lower its volume. The content itself is conscise, well presented and reliable. I'll stay subscribed for more, indeed 👍

After watching the video I just know that there was (annoying) music in it. Maybe some kind of autistic problem not being able to focus on the voice while filtering out the music?
that was excellent. I now feel confident not just understanding API but their history and pro`s and cons. thank you
Great video! Wished it went into more detail with gRPC, PROs/CONs were not discussed.
Excellent. Full of useful information, concisely put with no waffle. Great Job 👍
Good content and the presentation was lovely. Will be staying tuned to the channel for sure.
Very good explanation. This video contains many articles with sometimes vague answers in one flask
Terrific video and explanations. Thank you
Amazing vid. It goes to the point. Thanks for sharing. I can really see you made a great effort to create this content.
Used to think api was a kind of module to you needed. Now this cleared things up for me. 👍
Your videos are absolutely spot on the topic with a sleek representation of content. The travel industry based explanation is a cherry on top. Keep going guys!

Is encrypting each message that big of a benefit of SOAP if you already using SSL, which essentially does that same thing but just for the whole payload?
Awesome content!
Well done!
Great job!!!
this was beautiful
Best video I've seen
You underrated rpc and protopuf in my opinion.
great content
Sooo….soooo…. gooood 👌👌👌👌👌
Excelent
I thought learning curves were amount learned (Y axis) and time to learn (X axis) so a shallow learning curve would be something hard to learn (lots of time to get more info) and a steep learning curve would be easier (less time to learn more info). But I could be wrong.
@magdastein5580

it just refers to that you have to learn a lot -> lots of incline; whereas a shallow learning curve means that you do not have to learn that much to understand. the time, in my opinion, is no object in this allegory
@MarkWusinich

@@magdastein5580 I have always struggled with this. But I like it. So the Y axis goes from zero learned to easy to learn, medium to learn and hard to learn. Where as I was thinking it went from learning zero of the material, to 100% of the material.
My only complaint about this video is that the background music was soo good I kept getting distracted lol .
Talking about WS-SECURITY, it's stated that, the encrypted body can only be accessed if you have a token in header. How is this different from using OAuth or any token based security in REST?
@AltexSoft
3 жыл бұрын
SOAP WS-security includes the mechanisms for encrypting the whole message. OAuth and JWT are authorisation mechanisms. They aren’t designed for message encryption and you have to find your own ways to encrypt the message body or use an SLL/TLS protocol when sending the message.

Which API used by GDS systems?
@AltexSoft
3 жыл бұрын
It depends on the specific API you need. GDSs offer separate APIs for checking flight status or seat canceling. Sabre mostly uses SOAP and REST APIs. The same goes to Amadeus. Travelport provides SOAP and XML APIs. You can find the required API by the links: developer.sabre.com/product-catalog?f%5B0%5D=product_type%3Asoap_api_reference newmy.travelport.com/web/developer/travelport-universal-api developers.amadeus.com/

So, SOAP - a bit improved XML-RPC? And REST is a RPC over HTTP? And so on... Everything is RPC?
