It covers some of the learnings I have been gathering while using and designing Web APIs. It also contains ideas that I have gathered as well as while reading Restful Web Services. It covered
- Authorization and authentication
- Calling the API (Requests to Web APIs)
- Representations
- Caching
- Error handling
At the end of the day, what really the counts is adoption. The hope is that by designing a Web API in a manner that is friendly will aid in facilitating adoption.
