Enhance your API management strategies with essential rules that focus on utilizing the right tools, creating effective mockups, and branding your API portal. These guidelines will help streamline your API processes and improve overall user experience.
When building APIs one of the challenges is in how to document the API for other developers to consume.
Designing your API up front can be very useful where you have a significant amount of backend development to complete before there is sufficient functionality for front end development to easily commence.
Azure API Management provides a Developer Portal where the automated API documentation can be provided using your own corporate branding.
If you are looking to sell access to your APIs, this is a fantastic feature because you can combine your corporate identity into the user interface that your customers will be seeing.
Authentication confirmation screens are easy to overlook. After users sign in with an identity provider like Microsoft, Google, or GitHub, they'll often see a confirmation screen before being redirected back to your application.
Although users only see this screen for a few seconds, it's still part of your product.
