What you’ll learn
When you complete this course, you will be able to:
- Translate functional design requirements into API resources and methods.
- Use API Designer to create API specifications.
- Define API resources, methods, parameters, and responses using RAML.
- Model data in APIs using datatypes.
- Document and test APIs.
- Make APIs discoverable.
- Minimize repetition in APIs using resource types and traits.
- Modularize APIs using libraries, overlays, and extensions.
- Specify API security schemes.
- Enhance API responses using hypermedia.
- Version APIs.

- 1.1Lessons and Topics Introducing RESTful API design Review AnyPoint Platform as it pertains to API design Describe the architecture of REST APIs List the rules for enforcing REST principles in APIs
- 1.2Translating functional requirements for APIs Identify different categories and actions for REST APIs Translate categories to resources Select HTTP methods to support the actions on the categories
- 1.3Defining API resources and methods Describe API specification languages used to create API definitions Use API Designer to create RAML API definitions Define resources and methods in RAML API definitions
- 1.4Specifying responses to REST API calls Create HTTP method responses Use status codes in HTTP responses Add error handling and caching information to HTTP responses Select and specify the types of content returned in HTTP responses
- 1.5Modeling data Identify datatypes and attributes used in resource methods Create datatype fragments Set request and response body types to datatypes Create examples for datatype fragments Include examples in datatype fragments
- 1.6Documenting and testing APIs Add documentation and description nodes to API definitions Use the mocking service to create API endpoints Use the API console to test API endpoints
- 1.7Making APIs discoverable Publish API specifications and fragments to Anypoint Exchange for discovery Create API portals for learning about and testing APIs in Anypoint Exchange Customize public portals with themes Gather feedback from API consumers
- 1.8Reusing patterns Create and reference resource types for reusability Use traits to modularize methods Use libraries for greater API composability
- 1.9Securing and governing APIS Define API security requirements Use security schemes to apply resource-level and method-level policies Define custom security scheme for APIs Apply an OAuth 2.0 external provider policy to resource methods
- 1.10Enhancing API responses by using hypermedia Describe hypermedia Simplify API discoverability and enhance responses using hypermedia Modify API definitions to generate state-specific client responses
- 1.11Versioning APIs Explain when and when not to version APIs Describe the methods of versioning APIs Document changes in new API versions using API portals Deprecate old API versions
