API Essentials: Build, Use, and Secure APIs

img

This course offers a practical and comprehensive introduction to Application Programming Interfaces (APIs), focusing on the essential skills needed to build, consume, and secure APIs in modern software applications. Participants will learn how APIs enable communication between different software systems, how to design RESTful APIs following best practices, and how to protect APIs from security threats.

Through a mix of theory, hands-on coding exercises, and real-world projects, learners will gain proficiency in creating scalable APIs using popular frameworks, integrating third-party APIs, implementing security measures like OAuth and JWT, and documenting and testing APIs to ensure reliability and usability.

  • Understand core API concepts and different API types (REST, SOAP, GraphQL).

  • Design and develop RESTful APIs using frameworks such as Flask (Python) or Express.js (Node.js).

  • Consume APIs using tools like Postman and programmatic HTTP requests.

  • Implement authentication and authorization techniques to secure APIs.

  • Test APIs to verify functionality and reliability.

  • Document APIs effectively using Swagger/OpenAPI.

  • Apply best practices in API versioning, error handling, and scalability.
