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
