What you’ll learn

  1. Contract over HTTPDefine APIs as HTTP contracts, not UIs.Methods, status codes, and bodies carry the interface.
  2. REST resources and errorsUse resource-oriented REST habits and clear errors.Clients branch on status; idempotency matters on the wire.
  3. Auth, docs, and proofSeparate authn/authz and ship docs/tests.A small artifact proves the contract.
