When you come across APIs and the need of connecting different manufacturers’ devices, you need to have some knowledge of REST-APIs (also called RESTful APIs) and HTTP.

You can find a lot of information about this in the web. We strongly recommend the following video: [What Is A RESTful API? Explanation of REST & HTTP - YouTube](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q-BpqyOT3a8).
