Web: REST API Design
Good REST API design makes systems predictable and easy to integrate with — bad design makes every consumer guess. This quiz tests the conventions that separate a well-designed API from an ad-hoc one.
Questions cover HTTP methods and their intended use, resource-oriented URL structure, status codes, PUT vs. PATCH, idempotency, and best practices like pagination and versioning.
Could you defend your API's URL structure in a code review? This quiz checks the fundamentals.
