APIs come in many flavors, each suited for different needs. SOAP, though reliable for enterprise apps, feels outdated with its XML complexity. RESTful APIs are still the go-to for simplicity and wide adoption, but they can suffer from over- or under-fetching data.
GraphQL is the modern favorite, perfect for getting exactly the data you need—great for front-end flexibility. gRPC shines in high-performance, microservices-heavy environments, while WebSockets handle real-time, low-latency communication brilliantly. Finally, Webhooks are ideal for event-driven applications with asynchronous needs.
In today’s world, GraphQL or RESTful APIs often dominate, but your choice should depend on your app’s specific requirements.

Launched in 2013, Telegram allows users to broadcast messages to a following via “channels”, or create public and private groups that are simple for others to access. Users can also send and receive large data files, including text and zip files, directly via the app.The platform said it has more than 500m active users, and topped 1bn downloads in August, according to data from SensorTower.
Newly uncovered hack campaign in Telegram
The campaign, which security firm Check Point has named Rampant Kitten, comprises two main components, one for Windows and the other for Android. Rampant Kitten’s objective is to steal Telegram messages, passwords, and two-factor authentication codes sent by SMS and then also take screenshots and record sounds within earshot of an infected phone, the researchers said in a post published on Friday.
