RPC (Remote Procedure Call) API calls have the following characteristics:
* Parameters can be passed to the calls: RPC allows you to pass parameters to a remote function or service. This enables you to send specific data or instructions to the remote device.
* They call a single function or service: RPC is used to invoke a specific function or service on a remote device. Unlike REST APIs, which operate on resources and have multiple endpoints, RPC calls are more focused on invoking a specific action.
