The MSDN Documentation on BLOB Service REST API leads to the understanding that REST API and URI are same.Can anybody explain the difference between REST API and URI?
A URI is used to identify a resource on the web (and other places).
A RESTful API uses URIs and HTTP GET/POST/PUT/DELETE to perform CRUD (create, read, update, delete) operations on a web service.
One of the key identifying characteristics of a REST api is that the URIs are used to directly identify resources rather than web service methods that return resources
e.g.
REST: http://example.com/api/books/1
Non REST: http://example.com/api/getbook?bookId=1
