REST APIs usually have a database behind them, yes.

That's not what I meant, I meant 'direct' as in permissioned by end users

NFTs aren’t permissioned by end users. The person that deployed the smart contract still controls all permissions (although they can’t change it later — that is the only difference).

The reason that you can trade a NFT is because the smart contract has an API written by the creator to allow it.
