Description: A method parameter is a variable passed to a method in programming, allowing it to receive input data for processing. In the context of APIs, parameters are fundamental for interaction between the client and server, as they specify details about the request being made. These parameters can be of different types, such as path parameters, query parameters, and header parameters, each with its own function and format. Path parameters are used to identify specific resources in the URL, while query parameters are added to the URL to filter or modify the response. On the other hand, header parameters are used to send additional information about the request, such as content type or authentication. Proper use of method parameters is essential for designing efficient and effective APIs, as they enable clear and structured communication between the systems involved.
