Redirect
I think that this should not redirect to API, since Web APIs are an important topic on their own. Nor should it redirect to the possible synonym Web Services, since the current article defines Web Services as using WSDL and SOAP, and thusly defined Web API is not synonymous with Web Service, since not all Web APIs use these technologies. So in short I think that this should become an article. Boyprose (talk) 00:33, 17 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
I believe that this concept is different enough from that of Web API to merit its own page. To me, web API implies a series of specified parameters that a developer uses to store/retrieve data from the back end or manipulate data and objects from the front end. Webhooks seem like more of a way to check for errors through verification processes, or to ensure that data stays 'fresh' 75.182.97.223 (talk) 20:15, 27 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
I believe the current "web API" is sufficient and its naming is inline with other similar articles. If you want to add redirects named such, that could be useful. 50.53.15.59 (talk) 15:21, 7 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Actually it was not a duplicate but a different concept. I reversed the redirect and split the server-side concept from the client-side concept (Mozilla's WebAPI is a project for a set of client-side web APIs--W3C actually defines several of these; this is entirely a different thing from server-side web API and web services).
