RESTful API

A REST API (also known as RESTful API) is an application programming interface (API or web API) that conforms to the constraints of REST architectural style and allows for interaction with RESTful web services. An API is a set of definitions and protocols for building and integrating application software. It’s sometimes referred to as a contract between an information provider and an information user—establishing the content required from the consumer (the call) and the content required by the producer (the response).

In the context of a Cablecast RESTful API, advanced users with knowledge of utilizing an API can integrate Cablecast into third-party technologies and custom solutions.
