Technical requirements

In this chapter, we cover some concepts about using RESTful APIs and will use the curl utility to make REST calls, so it would be good to understand what an API is and how to use a REST client such as curl. It would also be helpful to have a rudimentary understanding of the Unix programming environment and it would be beneficial to understand what scripting is and what a Bash environment is.
