Design and Build Great Web APIs

Appendix 3API Project Assets Checklist

One of the important takeaways from this book is that every API project should have a consistent set of elements—what I call project assets. This appendix provides a condensed list of those important API project assets that you can use to help ensure that you’ve covered the important aspects of your API project (“Do you have a coherent API story document?”) and that you’ve covered all the key tasks for a successful API (“Did you write, and run, your API tests?”). I also include some commentary and pointers to various places in the book where details can be found about each asset.
