Query parameters are a way to pass information to an API in a flexible and simple manner. They are added to the end of the API endpoint URL as a series of key-value pairs. For example, consider the following API endpoint: https://www.example.com/api/items?sort=asc&category=books In this example, ‘sort’ and ‘category’ are query parameters that are passed to the API to specify the desired sorting order and category of items to retrieve.
Headers, on the other hand, provide additional information about the API request and response. They are used to carry information such as the request method (GET, POST, etc.), the content type of the request payload, authentication information, and other metadata. Headers are included in the HTTP request and response messages.
