Overview: Tasked with building an API for your company but don’t have a clue where to start? Taken over an existing API and hate it? Built your own API and still hate it? This book is for you. API development is becoming increasingly common for server-side developers thanks to the rise of front-end JavaScript frameworks, iPhone applications, and API-centric architectures. It might seem like grabbing stuff from a data source and shoving it out as JSON would be easy, but surviving changes in business logic, database schema updates, new features, or deprecated endpoints can be a nightmare. By passing on some best practices and general good advice you can hit the ground running with API development, combined with some horror stories and how they were overcome/avoided/averted. This book will discuss the theory of designing and building APIs in any language or framework, with this theory applied in PHP-based examples. This book will discuss the theory of designing and building APIs in any language or framework. This theory will be applied in examples built mostly in PHP, with some Ruby and Python too. The book will not be too code-heavy regardless, since reading code is no fun. By the end of this book, you will have built an API that can create, read, update, delete things, handle searching, and do everything else a good Hypermedia API needs to do.
