- summarize the key concepts covered in this course
As a developer, we are always looking to add value through extensibility and reusability in our code. Creating a modern API is a means of achieving that goal. In this course, you'll learn about developing APIs, potential security risks, how to deal with these risks, and how to design reusable API code. Next, you'll examine the different methods and programming languages used for consuming REST API web services. Finally, you'll explore SOAP APIs, along with constraints and best practices to consider when creating them.

- describe the tools available with Swagger including the API editor, the API code and client generator, the REST API documentation tool, and the REST API testing tool
- describe the benefits and best practices of using the OpenAPI specification standards
- describe how to use OpenAPI to create REST APIs
- describe how to create REST APIs using YAML
- describe tools that can be used to manage APIs
- create an OpenAPI definition with the Swagger Editor using YAML
- describe the use of Swagger's interactive web API help pages
- describe the API management features of a Swagger-generated server
- summarize the key concepts covered in this course
A sustainable API comes from creating a solid foundational design. To achieve this goal, a developer must use best practices along with the right tools. In this course, you'll learn strategies for designing reusable API web services as well as methods for determining the API's maturity level. Next, you'll explore the tools available with Swagger, including the API editor, the API code and client generator, the REST API documentation tool, and the REST API testing tool. Finally, you'll learn about methods and tools for designing REST APIs such as Swagger, OpenAPI, and YAML.

Given the ubiquity of the web and the HTTP protocol, developers can leverage this to create a modern API through RESTful design. In this course, you'll learn the best practices for developing REST APIs and creating documentation. Next, you'll examine working with REST API resources, CRUD implementations, error handling, HTTP status codes, change management, versioning, pagination, and partial responses. Finally, you'll look at best security design practices such as using JSON Web Tokens and API keys.
