REST API Best Practices

Resource Design

  • Noun-based URLs (/users, /documents)
  • Proper HTTP methods
  • Consistent naming conventions
  • HATEOAS where appropriate

Error Handling

  • Consistent error format
  • Appropriate status codes
  • Helpful error messages
  • Request correlation IDs

Security

  • Authentication (JWT, OAuth2)
  • Rate limiting
  • Input validation
  • CORS configuration

API Versioning Strategies

URL Versioning: /api/v1/users Header Versioning: Accept: application/vnd.api.v1+json Query Versioning: /api/users?version=1

I help you choose based on your use case and client needs.
