  have we suddenly got dumber because we got to work?

API testing and validation

• Difference?
  • Validation: API receives a message and decides if it's valid or not
  • Testing: different use cases
    • TDD as you build the API
    • Test if the API is running (lifecycle/ci)
    • Debugging
  • API performance testing

pedro

Batch APIs

• Common requirements

  • Are they atomic?
  • What kind of operations are supported?

• Existing approaches

  • Google storage
    • Multipart/mixed content-type
    • POST /batch

pedro

Describing APIs

• Idea is to have a DSL/structured file that will describe your API

• Question: is there a repo where people share their Blueprint schemas so we can see them?

  • Not right now. There are definitely plans to make it really open
  • Some people are already sharing their blueprints on GH

• There are no other ways to collaborate on API design

pedro

One API to rule them all

An API can be split between:

• Public
• Private

Or maybe between consumers:

• iOS/Android

Hypermedia API design session

Proposed/ran by Andreas Schmidt, Nokia

Based off his design around the Nokia Places API

Notes

• Picked JSON, no support for XML
• Added ?accept=application/json to the URL in the browser for a raw response

Hi Pedro,

 

Just a friendly reminder (since it's your first check due) that your rent payment was due on August 1st, and today is the last day to pay and not to get a late fee.

 

Thanks
