APIs Overview

Everything in BidZenith operates through APIs. This section is your guide to navigating and utilizing our gRPC APIs and REST APIs.

Deciding Between gRPC and REST APIs​

Each API is available with both gRPC and REST endpoints.

gRPC offers several benefits over REST, such as:

  • Lower latency than REST
  • Strong typing and client libraries that can be easily generated from .proto files

If you have a choice, we recommend choosing gRPC over REST. We are aware however that not all languages have great support for gRPC, and that some customer environments face challenges with HTTP2. In these cases. REST provides a viable alternative.
