The video makes it very clear that REST is a type of an architecture widely used to create and design web services. So when you use this architecture in designing your API’s, they are called Restful.
Many frameworks such as Spring or Node automatically use the underlying architecture to be of REST . You could do it manually if you’d wish to understand the concept deeply (some companies such as Expedia do this).
The requests such as GET POST PUT are just acronyms which make sense to a user. And the response codes such as 200, 400 etc are part of the architecture. You could make your own architecture and use some other codes. Point is, it’s just an architecture and nothing more than that.

It is kinda shocking that this video got only 75 likes. This is the best short introduction to REST I've found on the internet !!!!

Topic suggestions for videos related to REST API- 1) using Postman app to interact with an API. 2) doing same with browser and dev tools. 3) Using Terminal cURL command for interacting with an API. I think it's useful to know all 3 methods of interacting with an API before making REST API or using 3rd party API in an app. Also, thanks for the concise video on REST API!

People try to explain REST but they actually explain HTTP. This is very confusing.
