INTRODUCTION
API is core to mobile application development. Most developers rely heavily on APIs to introduce
the numerous features required to boost the application.
Developers use APIs whether they want to integrate payment gateways into the application or
add a social media channel. This is the fastest-growing niche, as a lot of development occurs via
the interface. It can streamline the processes and enhance the development speed, thus allowing
you to deploy your apps before the competition.

4. #1. Incorporate Throttling
Incorporate Throttling: With
Throttling in your API, you can break
the traffic and back up the APIs. It
will improve your APIs security
against the Denial of Service attacks.

5. #2. API Gateway as Enforcer
API Gateway as Enforcer: You must
consider several aspects when
bridging security within the
application. The gateway to security
within the API should be defined as
that would be the enforcement
point. You can use API keys or
OAuth to encrypt the message and
improve confidentiality.

tools and Best Practices]

6. #3. Use HTTP Overriding Method
Use HTTP Overriding Method: You
should use the HTTP method to
ensure the RESTFul web services
override. You can implement the
custom HTTP header, X-HTTP, for
the override. It will improve the
functionality.

7. #4. Assess the Infrastructure
Assess the Infrastructure:
Monitoring your API's architecture
and infrastructure is important. You
will notice memory leaks and CPU
drainage. Some tools can help
observe the infrastructure and
architecture. You will eventually be
able to prevent the issues.

8. #5. Security is key to API design
Security is key to API design: From
the architecture to the technology,
everything should be hacker-proof.
The API should be designed
considering the safe data transfer
between applications.

9. #6. Third-party apps and developers might use Your API
Third-party apps and developers
might use Your API: You should have
a defined document to help the
developers integrate the API and
utilise the information to create
their solutions. Documentation can
also help your developers test
quickly and optimise the API
services.
