Understanding REST APIs

Your existing project structure is well-organized for integrating a REST API. Since you're using Next.js (App Router) and Supabase, you can create a REST API using the /src/app/api/ directory.

Understanding REST APIs

A REST API (Representational State Transfer API) allows your frontend (React/Next.js) to communicate with your database (Supabase/PostgreSQL) through HTTP requests.

• CRUD Operations (Common API Methods)

  • GET → Retrieve data

  • POST → Create data

  • PUT/PATCH → Update data

  • DELETE → Remove data

• Example API Endpoints (based on your database structure)

  • GET /api/sensors → Get all sensors

  • GET /api/sensors/:id → Get a specific sensor

  • POST /api/sensors → Create a new sensor

  • PUT /api/sensors/:id → Update sensor details

  • DELETE /api/sensors/:id → Remove a sensor
