This article, “Understanding the Role of
APIs in Modern Backend Development” starts with what API is and how it is now
backbone of modern-day development. APi is a set of rules and protocols that
allow software components to interact and expose backend functionality or data
to other services, clients, or platforms. The article shows and explain different
types of APIs used in backend development, REST APIs, GraphQL APIs, WebSocket
APIs. Rest Apis are most used architecture, based on HTTP methods, makint it easy
to scale, maintain, and secure. GraphQL APIs are improved alternative of Rest
Api, which allows clients to request exactly the data they need in a single
query, reducing the number of requests sent to the backend. WebSocket APIs on
the other hand, enables bi-directional real-time communication between the
client and server making it useful in applications like chat, live updates or
gaming. After that the article explains best practices for using API in backend
development and they reasons why we need them; Use Clear and Consistent Naming
Conventions, Document Your API, Implement Security
This article ends with to popular backend frameworks for building API and why
they are used. Examples include Node.js (Express.js), Django (Python), Ruby on
Rails (Ruby)  Spring Boot for Java,
Laravel for PHP, and FastAPI for Python.

           I
recognize that one of the areas I’ve struggled with is using and designing APIs
effectively. Therefore, I chose this article, because it tackles that with
further knowledge that I currently have. I found out in the world there are
more to the Apis than just the Rest Apis and this article well explains other alternatives
to Rest Apis and what they do and its examples. Not only that, but the article also
explains important things to do while using Apis and popular framework that I can
later learn to improve my skills as full stack engineer.

From this article I learned not just new
apis and where to use them but also the framework section gave me context about
which tools I might adopt based on my need and language, and their benefits. It
also expands on what I need to do further implements the practice so I might not
be confused in the future while building apis and that they are they are
contracts between system. In the future, I will try to better document
everything while checking out the version control more carefully than before.
Not only that, but I might also try out different Apis to make Backends the other
APIs like GraphQL APIs, WebSocket APIs seems useful in parts for future
practices.

The article “What Is a REST API?
Examples, Uses, and Challenges”, published on the Postman blog, provides an
accessible overview of REST APIs. Rest Api works as a backbone in modern web
communication. It explains that a REST API (Representational State Transfer) is
a standardized way for systems to exchange data over the web using common HTTP
methods such as GET, POST, PUT, and DELETE. It briefly explains the history of
the rest api and the comparing to Simple Object Access Protocol (SOAP) api
which required strict message formatting and heavier data exchange while REST api
emerged as a lighter and more flexible architectural style built on standard
HTTP methods. The piece also informs best practices for using REST api like using
correct HTTP status codes, providing helpful error messages, enforcing security
through HTTPS and tokens, In the end, the article shows real-world examples
from well-known platforms like Twitter, Instagram, Amazon S3, and Plaid,
showing how REST APIs are used at scale in everyday applications.

As a software developer trying to be a
full stack developer, api calls were one of my weakest points since I am
struggling to understand how to use it effectively even though I tried to use
it in many areas. I had to ensure that I have a strong, up-to-date conceptual
foundation of what REST APIs are and how they are designed and used in practice
as I use. Since Postman is one of the leading platforms in the API ecosystem,
its educational resources provide an excellent reference point for gaining both
theoretical and practical understanding of how REST APIs work in real-world
development.

Even though the article was long , with YouTube
videos and hard time to understand everything, this article with postman helped
me to better understand the history and the usage of the rest api and its real-world
use compared to before. I learned that REST is not a technology or tool but an
architectural style that enforces clear separation between client and server,
promotes scalability, and ensures that each request carries all necessary
information. Later I plan to use this information to carefully use api as I plan
to create my own REST api endpoints that provide access to datasets and user
submissions while documenting things well unlike before. Ultimately, my goal is
to become comfortable enough with APIs that I can architect entire applications
