REST API-AnalyzeDesignDevelopSecureTestAndManage

Explore how application programming interfaces expose method signatures, input parameters, and responses without revealing implementation. Compare rest and soap APIs and see how apps across devices interact with APIs daily.

Learn how SOAP established a standard for distributed web services with an XML envelope, header and body, enabling platform and language independence, while examining its heavyweight drawbacks and testing complexities.

Explore representational state transfer and the six rest constraints—client-server, stateless, cacheable, uniform interface, layered system, and code on demand—and why rest uses lightweight json.

Explore why API management safeguards tens to hundreds of APIs as a product, covering API security, analysis, monitoring, alerting, and documentation for internal and external developers.

Explore how REST identifies and handles resources, and how HTTP methods like post, get, put, and delete drive create, read, update, and delete operations, with standard status codes.

Explain the Richardson maturity model for RESTful APIs, from level 0 (single URI and HTTP method) to level 3 (all three factors: URI, HTTP, and hypermedia).

Design, build, test, and manage a library management system using APIs, focusing on functional and non-functional requirements, API design with Swagger, and Java Spring Boot with Postman testing.

Learn REST API design concepts, including resources and identifiers, uniform interfaces, HTTP verbs, versioning strategies (URI path, headers, or X-version), and robust error handling with standard status codes.

Define and apply rest api design standards for a library system, using versioned endpoints, resources like users, books, authors, publishers, subresources, and supporting search and standard crud operations.

This lecture adds explicit error response codes for each API, detailing 200 success and 400, 404, 500 errors across user, card, and book operations, with updated tables for reference.

Explore how open api (swagger) defines the contract for endpoints, including operations, input and output parameters, authentication, and metadata, with open api 3.0 and swagger ui.

Explore SwaggerHub, the editor for creating and managing API definitions with domains, organizations, teams, and projects. Learn how to publish, share with collaborators, and manage visibility, templates, and notifications.

Explore the open api 3.0.5 structure, including metadata, servers, paths, parameters, request bodies, responses, components schemas, and security schemes, with yaml or json formats.

Explore how to design library APIs with the OpenAPI spec, modeling books, publishers, and users. Define endpoints, parameters, request bodies, and responses using Swagger templates and schemas.

Set up a local Java and Maven environment, create a basic publisher REST API with a Springboard project, implement a publisher controller and model, and test via browser and Postman.

Explore the table design and normalization process for a library API, detailing user, book, author, and publisher tables, plus join tables like user_book and book_author, and book_status.

Install and configure a local MySQL database, start the service, connect with workbench, create a database and user, grant privileges, and run the initialization script to build tables and sequences.

Explore springboard auto-configuration and starter projects for rapid REST API development, and learn a domain-driven package structure with default and domain packages.

Explore essential Spring Boot annotations for application configuration, components, and REST APIs. Learn how beans, entities, repositories, controllers, and REST mappings connect to the application context.

Explore managing environment-specific properties with application properties in Spring Boot, including predefined and custom properties and value annotations, and implement REST API error handling with controller advice and exception handler.
