Download or read book REST API Design Rulebook written by Mark Masse. This book was released on 2011-10-18. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In todayâ??s market, where rival web services compete for attention, a well-designed REST API is a must-have feature. This concise book presents a set of API design rules, drawn primarily from best practices that stick close to the Webâ??s REST architectural style. Along with rules for URI design and HTTP use, youâ??ll learn guidelines for media types and representational forms. REST APIs are ubiquitous, but few of them follow a consistent design methodology. Using these simple rules, you will design web service APIs that adhere to recognized web standards. To assist you, author Mark MassÃ© introduces the Web Resource Modeling Language (WRML), a conceptual framework he created for the design and implementation of REST APIs. Learn design rules for addressing resources with URIs Apply design principles to HTTPâ??s request methods and response status codes Work with guidelines for conveying metadata through HTTP headers and media types Get design tips to address the needs of client programs, including the special needs of browser-based JavaScript clients Understand why REST APIs should be designed and configured, not coded

Book Synopsis RESTful API Design by : Matthias Biehl

Download or read book RESTful API Design written by Matthias Biehl. This book was released on 2016-08-29. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Looking for Best Practices for RESTful APIs? This book is for you! Why? Because this book is packed with practical experience on what works best for RESTful API Design. You want to design APIs like a Pro? Use API description languages to both design APIs and develop APIs efficiently. The book introduces the two most common API description languages RAML, OpenAPI, and Swagger. Your company cares about its customers? Learn API product management with a customer-centric design and development approach for APIs. Learn how to manage APIs as a product and how to follow an API-first approach. Build APIs your customers love! You want to manage the complete API lifecycle? An API development methodology is proposed to guide you through the lifecycle: API inception, API design, API development, API publication, API evolution, and maintenance. You want to build APIs right? This book shows best practices for REST design, such as the correct use of resources, URIs, representations, content types, data formats, parameters, HTTP status codes, and HTTP methods. Your APIs connect to legacy systems? The book shows best practices for connecting APIs to existing backend systems. Your APIs connect to a mesh of microservices? The book shows the principles for designing APIs for scalable, autonomous microservices. You expect lots of traffic on your API? The book shows you how to achieve high performance, availability and maintainability. You want to build APIs that last for decades? We study API versioning, API evolution, backward- and forward-compatibility and show API design patterns for versioning. The API-University Series is a modular series of books on API-related topics. Each book focuses on a particular API topic, so you can select the topics within APIs, which are relevant for you.

Download or read book Hands-On RESTful API Design Patterns and Best Practices written by Harihara Subramanian. This book was released on 2019-01-31. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Build effective RESTful APIs for enterprise with design patterns and REST framework’s out-of-the-box capabilities Key FeaturesUnderstand advanced topics such as API gateways, API securities, and cloudImplement patterns programmatically with easy-to-follow examplesModernize legacy codebase using API connectors, layers, and microservicesBook Description This book deals with the Representational State Transfer (REST) paradigm, which is an architectural style that allows networked devices to communicate with each other over the internet. With the help of this book, you’ll explore the concepts of service-oriented architecture (SOA), event-driven architecture (EDA), and resource-oriented architecture (ROA). This book covers why there is an insistence for high-quality APIs toward enterprise integration. It also covers how to optimize and explore endpoints for microservices with API gateways and touches upon integrated platforms and Hubs for RESTful APIs. You’ll also understand how application delivery and deployments can be simplified and streamlined in the REST world. The book will help you dig deeper into the distinct contributions of RESTful services for IoT analytics and applications. Besides detailing the API design and development aspects, this book will assist you in designing and developing production-ready, testable, sustainable, and enterprise-grade APIs. By the end of the book, you’ll be empowered with all that you need to create highly flexible APIs for next-generation RESTful services and applications. What you will learnExplore RESTful concepts, including URI, HATEOAS, and Code on DemandStudy core patterns like Statelessness, Pagination, and DiscoverabilityOptimize endpoints for linked microservices with API gatewaysDelve into API authentication, authorization, and API security implementationsWork with Service Orchestration to craft composite and process-aware servicesExpose RESTful protocol-based APIs for cloud computingWho this book is for This book is primarily for web, mobile, and cloud services developers, architects, and consultants who want to build well-designed APIs for creating and sustaining enterprise-class applications. You’ll also benefit from this book if you want to understand the finer details of RESTful APIs and their design techniques along with some tricks and tips.
