1) REQUEST
2) RESPONSE
When we send request, we need to know the API
methods/endpoints that are available:
- read documentation about API methods.
- Swagger tool, that has API methods and descriptions
simple endpoint:
…school.com/api/students
Types of Requests:
GET -> Read data
POST -> Create/insert data

API endpoint/method and get response.
