I have watched a BUNCH of videos on this subject and this was the best one by far. THANK YOU!

This is seriously the best intro video to APIs ever. Perfectly clear. Thank you so so so much! Keep up the good work.

This video is amazing. I've Googled this tons of times and have read numerous descriptions. This video made it very concise what REST is using those examples. Thank you very much!!

Thank you.. u covered a hell lot of information in Human language.. Keep doing more..

Just wanted to thank you for creating this video in a very "human-friendly" way! I hope you have the opportunity to create more of these as I learned a lot in the 8:53 you put into this. THANKS!

this is a great video, going from concepts to live examples greatly increases its educational value. I use it in my classes now.

Your content is absolutely excellent. I very much appreciate your videos and am learning a lot from them. I just wanted to give you some tips, as a web developer myself, but someone who spent 5 years as a teacher. Your videos are very well structured, however I feel that you, at some points, are speaking too fast. I'm not sure what audience you are going for, but if you would like to include absolute or near total beginners, you'll want to have a lot more pauses, more titles and subtitles, slower speech, and more explanation of basic, albeit technical, terminology. By the time someone watches this video, you might assume someone wanting to learn about RESTful API's might know what a simple GET request is, but that is not necessarily so. In any case, thank you so much for your wonderful videos jam packed with excellent content!

Quite possibly the most helpful explanation of a REST API I've ever seen. Bravo!

Short...simple...informative...this video should be a template for anyone who wants to create a tutorial!

I used to run away from the word REST...now i understand it. Much thanks

Wow brother, YOUR CONTENT IS AMAZING!!! Concept + Real Examples = WIN !!! I have seen some Harvard University videos and thats exactly how they teach it, Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!

finally someone explaining how to use REST many thanks you don't know how long I've been searching for a video like this.

Amazingly simple breakdown. You are a legend! If we ever bump into each other, the rounds on me.

The best introduction ever for REST API! It is just to the point and clear. I am a beginner and this gives such a good start to explore more. :-)

Very cool. Maybe you should mention though that not all findable data is free to use. For example Instagram's warning "You cannot use the Instagram API to crawl or store users' media without their express consent." Kinda hard to mashup location-based images without crawling and storing.

I get: error: message: "An access token is required to request this resource. Do you have to be a FB developer to access this?

Fantastic! Very well articulated, delivered, and taught! Thanks for sharing your knowledge/wisdom with the world!

This is awesome. Thanks so much for making these videos. You've helped to demystify REST APIs for me as I was getting more and more confused by other sources.

This is probably the best video explaining RESTful APIs. Please make more videos you do a great job! :)

This video is the best by far from any other resource I have read/watched.

Wow this video was amazing. Great insight, I followed along with all the APIs. The only issue was the tweet, it would have been awesome if you showed how to get the token id/secret and where to put it in the postman extension. Thanks :)

Thank You for making this video.My concepts of REST APIs got so much better now.

Thank you very much! I knew what is REST all about, but I had a lot of trouble to plain it, even understanding it. Now you made it mucher clear in my mind, this examples are really straight forward!

the graph.facebook.com/youtube wont work... all that come to the page is an error TT

Very simple and clear explanation with concrete examples. Many thanks!!

Probably the best, clearest explanation I have seen. Thank you

Great videos. Although you talk fast, it is actually good for those of us who are technical and don't need someone to over simplify things.

So good. Just one tip, next time, could you increase the sound. Thanks!

The geocode implications are very scary though. There is still so much untouched potential in our technology that 99% of the population are completely unaware of.

9min of really good information. Intutive, dense and furture referable. Just the way I like it. Thank you.

this man is has got something hats off uncle keep doing more...support here from nepal.

This was excellently organized. Thank you

Awesome video. Really clear! Thanks a billion

Great video, seemingly complex concepts simplified, subscribed to the channel and anxiously waiting for the new videos. Thank you!

unfortunately, neither of these APIs do not return json responses :(

This is a great video that goes over alot of terms you hear but maybe are not sure what they are, great job!

Hey! Make more videos! This was the best explanation of what an API was on the inter -webs. Keep up the good work! Think you can do a quick walk thru of creating a web app with api? Say like mashing up the Instagram api with Soundcloud or something else?

Precise and to the point explanation. Well-done

This was really awesome!!! So much information!!! I have turned from a Big 0 to 10 ;) Thank u!!!

hi my graph.facebook.com/username is not working. Did they change something or what?? Im getting error message it says check developer.fb page

Awesome, I am trying to learn REST, best REST API I have seen!

More people would be less reticent to watch this video if you deleted your face throughout. Very Informative, Thanks

Very good video! This was very clear and understandable. The use of examples is also great, and helps making it easier to grasp.

wow! a not indian person!!!

you talked about Examples! Great! But no where mentioned what actually mean by REST api

This is just what I was looking for ...simple and precise explanation of a REST API ... thank you ***** so much. Looking forward to some more great web concept videos :)

Great video. I felt it was well presented, and extremely easy to understand. I hope you make some more videos!

Really cool video! Very well illustrated and taught! Keep them coming.

Thanks for nice REST demo. You crammed a lot of good info into a short video.

API is something that allows one software to talk with another one. With that said, If I want to create a project that connect to a single database that is in the same network, should I use API to make data call or write data to the database? what would be the benefit of using APIs in this context?

***** Thank you so much. You are able to cover a lot in just 9 minutes. Kudos to you!!

Thanks for this, really helped broaden my understanding of REST.

{ "error": { "message": "An access token is required to request this resource.", "type": "OAuthException", "code": 104 } } i am geting this exception for facebook

this shit was clear and understandable.. and fucking approachable. so much of this REST shit is boring as fuck.. thanks for making it visual and interesting

Thank you, I really enjoyed watching this video. I like the way you summarize things, simple and to the point. Keep them coming :)

hey, this is awesome video, I liked the way the content is presented! very useful and easy to understand!

Great video... Simple ti understand and very straightforward

If anyone's interested, Marvel comics have an API, and a while back I came across a series of tutorial outlining how to work with it... so yeah, there probably isn't a cooler way to learn how to use APIs. Thank me later.

thank you! Indeed very useful information in approx 9 minutes..

post some other basic videos from that we can learn it in batter manner and good job guys keep it up

Very very clear and useful! thank you so much!

Excellent instructions! Get explanations and examples. I learned a lot!

Awesome!! Very nice and neat explanation!Kudos to you!!

Very nicely explained in simple way.. awazing...

The POSTMAN REST client that you are using, there are 3 different fields form-data, x-www-form-urlencoded, and raw. So what's the difference between these 3 ?

Awesome, very clean and clear tutorial. Thanks a lot

nice video. It help me understand what REST api is.. Thanks !!

informational but some stuff was left behind, but no matter such is the topic, needs a lengthy video. Awesome Video though.

So much fun to follow along. Thanks!

Wow!! This is an excellent video. You earned a subscriber for this :-)

Nice and crisp .. that's all I wanted to know..

worthfull 9 mins.. thanks

Awesome video, very informative, and quick.

Very important and awesome post for beginner. Thank you sir....

Awesome video. Too much information. Gonna try all of it :)

awesome... clear and crisp explanation.

Nice overview. Thanks for the video!

Very good video! Continue with the good work!

Thanks for the video, very helpful. Got one question, why do services like, say, Google Maps offer their data in JSON format? That would allow others to use their service masquerading as a different application, with different branding. Correct?

I entered graph.facebook.com/youtube but I received something rather different:- { "error": { "message": "An access token is required to request this resource.", "type": "OAuthException", "code": 104 } }

informative one expalined with good examples. Thanks bro.

Thanks for a good video keep up the good work.

Brilliant, thank you! :)

Best.Explanation.Ever

great video man...i want to use REST in salesforce. If you can make a small video on that, That would be great. God bless !

Impressive. Subscribed and looking for more videos please.

Awwwwsummmm!!!! What a shame, just 283 likes. Man, you rock.

Excellent, thank you. Very informative.

really cool video!!! Can you explain what is basic the difference between Rest API & JSON web-service?

I was expecting to see JS code to form the GET and POST. It's one thing to put graph.facebook.com into your browser window, but how to get the JSON response and use it inside your JS code?

DUDE THIS IS AWESOME! THANK YOU!

Still trying to get my head around. I am bit confused as to why when getting an access token Facebook requires access to my own public information as well?

It was REALLY helpful. Thank you!

Quick and awesom ..!! Thank you!

awesome man....really cool stuffs to look into...

Great and to the point- thanks!

how do we get the information about the URL..like graph.facebook.com/youtube or something else..because generally we know the simple URL "facebook.com/youtube/", but we don't know about "graph".how do you get to know the exact URL ? I mean where to fetch the information from? how do yu know that graph.facebook.com is the place to request for data ?

Great video. very helpful.Is there any way to access database without using api, as not all provide us with api options?Thank you

Awesome vid man. Lot of info...

Genius explanation!
