Question

REST API is a widely used standard for web-based-service communications between clients and the servers that host them.

Which protocol does a REST API rely on?

Explanation

REST APIs commonly use HTTP to exchange client requests and server responses, including standard methods such as GET, POST, PUT, PATCH, and DELETE. SSH is a remote-access protocol, SAML is an identity federation standard, and XML is a data representation format rather than the protocol used for REST operations.
