REST API design: principles, versioning and documentation

1Introduction

APIs bridge systems, especially in open banking; poor design burdens every partner.

2Discussion

REST uses meaningful resource URLs, standard HTTP methods, precise status codes and stateless requests.

Versioning lets APIs evolve safely; consistent error formats and idempotency keys protect financial operations.

3Conclusion

OpenAPI documentation with examples and a sandbox cuts integration from weeks to days.
