How do I create an API for integration
There are several methods to integrate with an API.
Methods: In the context of web development and RESTful APIs, the terms "GET," "POST," and "DELETE" refer to HTTP methods used for different operations:
- POST
- GET
- DELETE
- UPDATE
POST METHOD Creation:
We will create a folder named contact within the server file, and inside the contact folder, we will create a file named index.post.ts.
For example:
![orbitype](https://radialcode-cms.s3.ap-south-1.amazonaws.com/contact_ff32afdaf3.webp)
We will create a contacts table and subsequently insert data into it using the INSERT method.
![orbitype](https://radialcode-cms.s3.ap-south-1.amazonaws.com/insert_15d0cbc149.webp)
/contact is the API we will utilize for naming in our project. Like the below snap.

GET METHOD Creation:
We will create a folder named pages within the server file, and inside the pages folder, we will create a file named index.post.ts
![orbitype](https://radialcode-cms.s3.ap-south-1.amazonaws.com/server_16b4ae8a86.webp)
The same scenario is followed in the GET request.
