# Using ApiKit to integrate with a REST API

**[Daniel Saidi](https://daily.dev/sources/danielsaidi)** · 4 min read · 0 upvotes · 0 comments

## Summary

ApiKit is an open-source Swift package that simplifies REST API integration using two core abstractions: ApiEnvironment (for base URLs, headers, and auth tokens) and ApiRoute (for endpoints, HTTP methods, and parameters). The tutorial walks through modeling the Yelp API with a custom environment enum, route enum with associated values, Codable response models, and shows how to fetch data using URLSession or a custom ApiClient. An optional ApiRequest type can couple a route to a specific response model for even cleaner call sites.
