3. Implementation & Development
Build the API following RESTful principles with proper HTTP methods, status codes, pagination, filtering, and error handling.
4. Security Implementation
Implement authentication, authorization, input validation, rate limiting, and encryption to protect against common API vulnerabilities.
5. Testing & Quality Assurance
Comprehensive testing including unit tests, integration tests, load testing, and security testing to ensure reliability and performance.
6. Documentation & Developer Portal
Create clear, interactive documentation with code examples, tutorials, and API explorers that help developers integrate quickly.
7. Deployment & Monitoring
Deploy to production with monitoring, logging, alerting, and analytics to track usage, performance, and identify issues proactively.

API Development Best Practices
We follow industry-standard best practices to ensure your API is robust and maintainable:
✓ Use Nouns for Resources
Resource URLs should be nouns (e.g., /users, /products) not verbs
✓ HTTP Method Semantics
Use appropriate HTTP methods: GET for retrieval, POST for creation, PUT/PATCH for updates, DELETE for removal
✓ Proper Status Codes
Return appropriate HTTP status codes (200, 201, 400, 401, 404, 500) to indicate success or failure
✓ API Versioning
Version your API (e.g., /v1/users) to support backward compatibility
✓ Consistent Naming
Use consistent naming conventions and case (camelCase or snake_case) throughout your API
✓ Comprehensive Testing
Write automated tests for all endpoints to ensure reliability and catch regressions
