Description

Representational State Transfer (REST) and the Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) are fundamental to modern web development and are often used to create APIs for web-based services. Skilled API developers can leverage these technologies to develop robust, scalable, and efficient web services, bringing valuable expertise to any web development project.

This test assesses candidates' understanding of key REST principles, familiarity with the HTTP specification, and their competence in designing, implementing, and troubleshooting RESTful APIs. Questions cover a broad range of topics, from basic HTTP methods and status codes, to advanced REST concepts like resource naming, idempotence, and cache control.

By performing well on this test, candidates prove their ability to design and implement advanced web services using REST and HTTP. They demonstrate the ability to troubleshoot common API issues, optimize API performance, and ensure the developed services can be easily consumed by clients. Their expertise can significantly enhance the performance and scalability of your web services, making them an ideal fit for roles such as API Developer, Back-End Developer, or Full-Stack Developer.
