This document outlines best practices for API design, including using proper HTTP methods, accepting and responding with JSON, using kebab-case for URLs, plural names for collections, avoiding verbs in URLs, versioning APIs with ordinal numbers, allowing filtering/sorting/pagination, handling errors gracefully, maintaining documentation, and implementing security practices like authentication, CORS, HTTPS, and rate limiting. It also recommends techniques like returning a minimal set of fields, using relations in URLs for nested resources, caching data to improve performance. The goal is to design APIs that are intuitive, secure, and high performing.Introduction to REST - API
Introduction to REST - APIChetan Gadodia
油
This document provides an overview of HTTP and REST APIs. It describes how HTTP allows sending documents over the web using URLs to identify resources and HTTP verbs like GET, PUT, DELETE and POST. It defines common response codes. It explains that REST stands for Representational State Transfer and relies on a stateless, client-server architecture using the HTTP protocol. The key design constraints of REST include having a uniform interface, being resource-based and using representations to manipulate resources with self-descriptive messages. Benefits include statelessness for scalability, cacheability to improve performance, separating clients from servers, and using a layered system with intermediary servers.introduction about REST API

This document provides an introduction to REST APIs. It defines an API as a set of tools and protocols for building software. A REST API is an architectural style for web services that uses HTTP requests to GET, POST, PUT, and DELETE data. REST APIs have features like being simpler than SOAP, having documentation, and providing error messages. The core principles of REST are that it is stateless, uses a uniform interface, is layered, cacheable, and has code-on-demand. Common HTTP methods map to CRUD operations on resources. REST APIs offer advantages like scalability, flexibility, and independence.An Introduction To REST API

REST API and CRUDPrem Sanil
油
A REST API uses HTTP requests with verbs like GET, POST, PUT, and DELETE to perform CRUD (Create, Read, Update, Delete) operations on resources identified by URLs. It provides a lightweight alternative to SOAP that returns data in JSON format and HTTP response codes. Well-known codes include 200 for OK, 201 for Created, 400 for Bad Request, and 404 for Not Found. REST enables building applications and platforms that can easily integrate new interfaces over time.REST API

Quarkus has grown in popularity in the last years, but whats it really like to use it in large-scale, real-world business projects? In this session, well move beyond the basics of "Hello World" to explore how to build enterprise-level applications with Quarkus efficiently.
In this talk we will set up a multi-module project, incorporating integration tests and addressing the challenges with build times, while maintaining a high development velocity. Next, well tackle an upgrade scenario and splitting the application into multiple microservices. Along the way, well share hard-earned lessons, including what to avoid.
At the end of the talk, you should have a good understanding of how to efficiently set up a big enterprise project with Quarkus and the confidence to get started.

Rest API
- 1. Best Practices for Designing a Pragmatic RESTful API
- 2. Key requirements for the API It should use web standards where they make sense It should be simple, intuitive and consistent It should be efficient, while maintaining balance with the other requirements
- 3. The key principles of REST involve separating your API into logical resources. These resources are manipulated using HTTP requests where the method (GET, POST, PUT, PATCH, DELETE) has specific meaning.
- 4. RESTful principles provide strategies to handle CRUD actions using HTTP methods mapped as follows: GET /tickets - Retrieves a list of tickets GET /tickets/12 - Retrieves a specific ticket POST /tickets - Creates a new ticket PUT /tickets/12 - Updates ticket #12 PATCH /tickets/12 - Partially updates ticket #12 DELETE /tickets/12 - Deletes ticket #12
- 5. There are no method naming conventions to follow and the URL structure is clean & clear.
- 6. But how do you deal with relations?
- 7. GET /tickets/12/messages - Retrieves list of messages for ticket #12 GET /tickets/12/messages/5 - Retrieves message #5 for ticket #12 POST /tickets/12/messages - Creates a new message in ticket #12 PUT /tickets/12/messages/5 - Updates message #5 for ticket #12 PATCH /tickets/12/messages/5 - Partially updates message #5 for ticket #12 DELETE /tickets/12/messages/5 - Deletes message #5 for ticket #12
- 8. What about actions that don't fit into the world of CRUD operations?
- 9. An activate action could be mapped to a boolean activated field and updated via a PATCH to the resource PUT /gists/:id/star and DELETE /gists/:id/star Just do what's right from the perspective of the API consumer and make sure it's documented clearly
- 10. SSL Documentation Versioning
- 11. Result filtering, sorting & searching GET /tickets?state=open - query parameter that implements a filter GET /tickets?sort=-priority - Retrieves a list of tickets in descending order of priority GET /tickets?q=return&state=open&sort=- priority,created_at - Retrieve the highest priority open tickets mentioning the word 'return'
- 12. Updates & creation should return a resource representation
- 15. An API that accepts JSON encoded POST, PUT & PATCH requests should also require the Content-Type header be set to application/json or throw a 415 Unsupported Media Type HTTP status code. JSON encoded POST, PUT & PATCH bodies
- 16. Rate limiting X-Rate-Limit-Limit - The number of allowed requests in the current period X-Rate-Limit-Remaining - The number of remaining requests in the current period X-Rate-Limit-Reset - The number of seconds left in the current period
- 17. Errors
- 18. HTTP status codes 200 OK - Response to a successful GET, PUT, PATCH or DELETE. Can also be used for a POST that doesn't result in a creation. 201 Created - Response to a POST that results in a creation. Should be combined with a Location header pointing to the location of the new resource 204 No Content - Response to a successful request that won't be returning a body (like a DELETE request)
- 19. 400 Bad Request - The request is malformed, such as if the body does not parse 401 Unauthorized - When no or invalid authentication details are provided. Also useful to trigger an auth popup if the API is used from a browser 403 Forbidden - When authentication succeeded but authenticated user doesn't have access to the resource
- 20. 404 Not Found - When a non-existent resource is requested 405 Method Not Allowed - When an HTTP method is being requested that isn't allowed for the authenticated user 429 Too Many Requests - When a request is rejected due to rate limiting
- 21. THX
