Thoughts on being an api provider

1. Its a contract, be sure to have a clear idea on how you intend to version your api. Header fields set, special pathing, choose your poison but for the sake of your users prepare to stick to it. Choosing this early will allow you a good amount of wiggle room without pulling the rug from under your users.

2. Know your consumers, is this an internal only api. Do you need to restrict data from certain user? Is this public or will it be in the future.

Are you acting on a user's behalf or just providing data to everyone
