Feature Layer

A feature layer is a grouping of similar geographic features, for example, buildings, parcels, cities, roads, and earthquake epicenters. Features can be points, lines, or polygons (areas). Feature layers are most appropriate for visualizing data on top of basemaps.

REST

(Representational State Transfer). An architectural style used for network applications. Communication between the Studio Search, Portal, viewers,  and ArcGIS Server is done using REST.

REST API

A web-based, REST-compatible representation of the configuration of one or more web mapping applications. The REST API is organized as a hierarchy (a tree). Studio Search can obtain configuration information by making HTTP requests to the REST API.

REST Endpoint

The items in a REST API's hierarchy are called "endpoints". Each endpoint represents the configuration of a particular resource or operation in the site. Each endpoint has a unique URL, which enables viewers to identify individual endpoints.

URI

(Uniform Resource Identifier). A string that identifies a resource on a computer or computer network. URIs enable interactions over the Internet using protocols.
