Web Apis Do’s and Don’ts

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.
