As a Software Engineer, I, Gopi Gugan, have spent years designing APIs that are both powerful and easy to use. APIs are the backbone of modern software, connecting applications and services seamlessly.
Key principles for API design:
- Consistent naming conventions
- Proper versioning and backward compatibility
- Meaningful error messages
- Thorough documentation
- Secure authentication and authorization
APIs should minimize friction for developers while providing reliable, predictable behaviour. Good API design saves time, reduces bugs, and improves developer experience across the board.
