Sharepoint provides a REST API to access lists. Here is a sample end point to start with.

http://server/site/_api/lists/getbytitle('listname')

Here is more documentation: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/sharepoint/dev/sp-add-ins/get-to-know-the-sharepoint-rest-service

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/sharepoint/dev/sp-add-ins/working-with-lists-and-list-items-with-rest

Edit: To download file use the following URL:

http://server/site/_api/SP.AppContextSite(@target)/web/GetFileByServerRelativeUrl('/sites/Test/Shared Documents/" + sourcefile.get_name() + "')/$value?@target='myhosturl'

Refer to https://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/sharepoint/en-US/02bfbcdc-73c8-4fa5-8967-cfd903a0d72e/javascript-client-object-model-openbinary-method
