Child Table Data in Strapi API

How to display information of related child tables for the requested parent table in Strapi API?

Originally, when requesting a Strapi API endpoint, you can only get the information of the table you requested without the information of tables it is related to.

In order to get the details of tables joined to the requested table, you can try requesting the endpoint by using - http://localhost:1337/api/tablename?populate=*

Example: If you have a supplier to whom you owe many payments and wish to see the payments information in the supplier information, you can request this link --> http://localhost:1337/api/suppliers?populate=*

So populate here, populates the API with relations, components or dynamic zones.
