Wincc Rest Api May 2026

A REST (Representational State of Resource) API is an architectural style for designing networked applications. It's based on the idea of resources, which are identified by URIs (Uniform Resource Identifiers), and can be manipulated using a fixed set of operations. REST APIs typically use HTTP (Hypertext Transfer Protocol) as the communication protocol and return data in a format like JSON (JavaScript Object Notation) or XML (Extensible Markup Language).
