Définition

Une réponse API est une donnée ou une information renvoyée par un serveur lorsqu'une demande API (Application Programming Interface) est envoyée. Elle se présente généralement sous la forme d'un document JSON ou XML et contient soit un état ("ok", "erreur", etc.), soit des données (par exemple, une liste d'éléments).

Decoding API Responses

An API Response is the digital handshake between a client and a server. It encapsulates the information returned from the server following an API request, providing crucial insights or data payloads. Typically formatted in JSON or XML, these responses carry status indicators (such as "ok" or "error") or payload data, tailored to fulfill the client's query.
