so today topic is API;
API is Application programming interface we have some 4 most used method
GET
POST
PUT
DELETE
before we jump into GET,POST,PUT,DELETE, method lets talk about is why we need to use API what is the main reason
well our website have front-end and back-end we cant connect our front-end to our database. This is where back-end comes where we will create logic for our front-end side so we can send data to our database and recall it when needed
we make API to connect our front-end with our database
GET
This method is use to get all the data that is currently in our database we can show this data to our front-end by using fetch method or a library Axios that help us fetch data from API
POST
This method is use to send data from our front-end to our database it could be number string picture or anything we can also use schema if we using monogoose to make sure the correct form of data is been send to our backend
PUT
This method is used to update the data for example we need to a list of product because there price has been change
DELTE
you can tell from the name what this method going to do well yeah its going to delate the data that has been store in our backend
this is just a basic knowledge what is happening in backend but believe me there is a lot to learn

It's DELETE, not DELATE. I thought it was a typo, but I see you repeated it all over.
