Webhooks vs REST API
Wondering what the difference is between Webhooks and a REST API? A webhook is a lightweight API that allows for one-way data sharing triggered by events, while an API (Application Programming Interface) enables two-way communication between software applications driven by requests.

A webhook, also known as a reverse API, web callback, or HTTP push API, is a way for an application to provide real-time information to other applications. It delivers data as an event happens or almost immediately and is less resource-intensive because it saves time by avoiding constant polling (checking) for new data.

The main difference between them is that webhooks do not need to send a request to get a response, while the API requires requests to get a response. In other words, webhooks receive, while the API retrieves.
