01/21/2021, 1:35 AMI am creating REST APIs. Where do the APIs pick the values from( in the server side)? What exactly happens at the server side? I want to pass some values daily to the users.

01/21/2021, 2:59 AM@crummy I am an Android Developer. I am new to Server side development. Basically I want to send some data every day to my mobile app users. So I am creating my server and REST APIs for that. How do I feed the data to the APIs from the server side?
