Restful Web Api Design With Nodejs

What you'll learn
Define what an API is and how it is used in client-server communication
Explore HTTP requests and responses and find out about the various fields that make up these requests and responses
Understand the architectural constraints and properties that make an API RESTful
Use Twitter's API to tweet and search for tweets
Store Twitter's data in our database to minimize the use of Twitter's API
Use Async.js to handle Twitter's API constraints
Test APIs using Postman and Apache Benchmark
Build the API on the server using Express.js and MongoDB
Find out about the Facebook Graph API, and its structure, resources, and permissions
Be introduced to GitHub API, its use of different representations, the PATCH verb, HATEOAS, and conditional requests
Get security tips to prevent session hijacking vulnerabilities
Requirements
Knowledge of REST or HTTP is not essential as this course provides all the background information required to get you started.
Description
RESTful Web APIs allow developers to create unprecedented
applications by leveraging the data on the Internet. Since jаvascript is
the language of the web, building APIs using Node.js provides a
seamless development experience on both the front end and the back end.
This video course gives you an overview of a RESTful API and goes
through the logical steps of building one. It explores three different
APIs, focusing on their similarities and differences to effectively
implement one.
We'll start off by defining APIs, showing how they can be built on
top of HTTP, and listing the properties that make an API RESTful. We
will develop Twitter Notes, a web application that lets its users leave
notes for their Twitter friends. We will use Twitter's API to implement a
login flow and then design a web API. In addition to using Twitter's
API, we will take a closer look at two other real-world APIs—Facebook
API and GitHub API. Finally, we'll end up honing some best practices to
keep the APIs secure, maintainable, and performant.
By the end of this course, you will have a good grasp of APIs, HTTP,
REST, OAuth 1.0a, API testing, and API security. Since the course
explores three different REST APIs, you will reach a level where you
will be comfortable using any RESTful API, even if it does not have an

Saleh became president of gt-webdev, a student organization focused on teaching students web development. During his time at Georgia Tech, Saleh interned as a web developer at BrainJocks and Yahoo! Saleh is passionate about the future of the web and hopes to work, learn, and teach in that field.
