Hello Marios

These are not REST APIs, but I understand that the title of this particular thread is Python Connect with REST API. This is a typo. The lesson itself is called **Python Connect with API**. For REST APIs, take a look at this lesson:

> **[Introduction to REST API](https://networklessons.com/cisco/ccna-200-301/introduction-to-rest-api)**
>
> The REST API is an API that meets 6 constraints as decribed by Roy T. Fielding describes. This lesson demonstrates the REST API on a Cisco CSR1000v.

REST APIs typically use HTTP methods to retrieve or send information between applications. REST APIs in the context of the above lesson are APIs to Cisco network devices for the purpose of controlling and managing them.

I will let Rene know to make the appropriate modifications to the thread title.

Thanks for pointing this out!

Laz
