Summary

In this article, the author aims to help beginners and those new to web concepts understand how to use Strapi with various technologies such as Gridsome, Django, Ruby, Python, PHP, and more. The author explains that Strapi uses REST APIs, which are software intermediaries that allow two applications to communicate with each other. This allows developers to interact with data from their Strapi application using HTTP requests, such as GET, POST, PUT, and DELETE methods. With the right HTTP client library in their chosen programming language, users can easily integrate Strapi with other technologies like Ruby's HTTParty, Python, PHP, or static site generators like Gatsby, Gridsome, or 11ty. The author provides examples of how to integrate Strapi with these technologies through HTTP requests and encourages readers to contribute to the documentation by making pull requests. While not exhaustive, this article covers the basics of using Strapi with various tools and sets the stage for exploring more advanced topics like GraphQL integration in a future article.
