How To (And How Not To) Design REST APIs
- Jeff Schnitzer tl;dr: "In my career, I have consumed hundreds of REST APIs and produced dozens. Since I often see the same mistakes repeated in API design, I thought it might be nice to write down a set of best practices. And poke fun at a couple widely-used APIs. Much of this may be "duh", but there might be a few rules you haven't considered yet."featured in #588

Everything You Need to Know About OpenAPI
tl;dr: API design is important, yet it is only useful if it's well-documented and consistently represented across every API surface area (docs, SDKs, etc.). OpenAPI gives you greater visibility into your API, enabling you to unify all aspects of errors, responses, and parameters, ensuring consistency. This open-source documentation project will help you understand the OpenAPI Specification.featured in #556
