Does anyone have an example of "HTTP/REST"?

Question

I've been told what I want to achieve is over here

"https://stackoverflow.com/questions/36975619/how-to-call-a-rest-web-service-api-from-javascript"

but it's all greek to me, which tutorial will teach me the basics for this stuff?

Answer 1

According to your question I think what you are looking for is making http get requests to get data. So you can check this tutorial which I think is best out there. It's a bit long but worth it.

I hope this answers your questions.
