RESTful APIs for IoT: A Beginner's Guide to Design & Implementation

Description

Learn how to design and implement RESTful APIs specifically for the Internet of Things (IoT). 🌐🔌 In this video, we break down how to use standard HTTP protocols to communicate with sensors, smart devices, and microcontrollers. We cover the core concepts of REST architecture, mapping HTTP verbs (GET, POST, PUT, DELETE) to device actions, and structuring your data using JSON. Whether you are building a smart home system or an industrial sensor network, understanding these principles is essential for creating scalable and interoperable IoT solutions. 🚀 Key topics covered: - What is REST architecture? - Using HTTP for device communication - Resource identification with URIs - JSON data formats - Security best practices for IoT APIs Perfect for software engineers, hobbyists, and students looking to connect hardware to the web!
