Which API is meant by "the Web API"?

Question

How do I invoke "the Web API" for the nasearch site with Java? Also, this github repo is a Django project? If so, is there a special way to invoke the "Web API" with Java?

The readme says:

You can use the Web API to fetch a list of existing topics, conduct searches, or pull shownotes by episode.

That would be with jax-rs?

It looks like you should make a REST call to the web API for Nasearch.

Take a look at this question for how to do this in Java. As per the readme you can connect to "/api/topics" for example.

Are there other types of calls which I could make, in this case? How would I know? – Thufir Feb 24 '16 at 19:35
@Thufir Probably not. The call/request that you make to the API will respond with the data that you need. – Mackattack Feb 25 '16 at 10:14
