This is sorta funny for me because as a non cs major who went into it it seems like all the api's I work with are called rest apis and I was always wondering what a non rest api would be.

SOAP, which is basically dead, or GraphQL.

Hahaha, don't underestimate jank ass vendor systems. My workplace has at least one business critical thing using SOAP. We've been spinning our wheels on deprecating the damn thing for three years.

Lol, I probably should have said "legacy". Would hope no one is writing new SOAP APIs in 2024!

see. now I have seen references to soap but never really got that to. when it comes down to it my biggest concern is things just work.
