REST audio micro-course (transcript)
Podcast 1 — Introduction & meaning
Narrator: Today's word is "REST" — abbreviation, pronounced /rest/, with the stress on "rest".
Narrator: REST is short for Representational State Transfer, a design style for web APIs that uses standard HTTP methods.
Narrator: In plain English, it is a common way for apps to talk to servers over the web.
Narrator: It was named by Roy Fielding in his doctoral thesis in 2000.
Narrator: A common collocation is "REST API", which describes a web service built in this style.
Narrator: It differs from "GraphQL", because REST uses many fixed endpoints, while GraphQL uses one flexible query endpoint.
Narrator: In a second sense, lower-case rest means to relax or stop working.
Narrator: Web development, mobile apps, cloud services and integration all rely on the term.
Narrator: So remember: REST lets apps talk to servers with simple web requests.

Podcast 2 — In conversation
Speaker A: How does the app get the weather data?
Speaker B: Through a REST API! It was named by Roy Fielding in 2000.
Speaker A: Just web addresses?
Speaker B: Web addresses plus GET, POST, PUT and DELETE.
Speaker A: Example sentences?
Speaker B: "Call the REST endpoint for users", a developer. "Our REST API returns JSON", documentation. "REST keeps each request independent", a design note.
Speaker A: Common mistakes?
Speaker B: Write REST in capitals for the API style, and do not call every HTTP API RESTful if it ignores the rules.
Speaker A: Close relatives?
Speaker B: GraphQL is its cousin, SOAP its older twin, and gRPC an alternative — yet REST keeps its simple charm!
Podcast 3 — Prompt engineering
Speaker B: Let's use "REST" in AI prompts — useful for API design and client code.
Speaker A: How for API design?
Speaker B: Name resources.
Prompt: Design REST endpoints for a library app with books, members and loans.
Speaker A: And client code?
Speaker B: Handle errors.
Prompt: Write a TypeScript function that calls a REST API and handles 404 and 500 errors.
Speaker A: Could it help docs?
Speaker B: Yes, for references.
Prompt: Generate REST API documentation for these endpoints with example requests.
Speaker A: One more?
Speaker B: Testing.
Prompt: Write tests that check every REST endpoint returns the correct status code.
