Learn essential API design principles and master Google Cloud's Apigee platform for building, managing, and securing RESTful APIs.
This course provides a comprehensive introduction to API design and the fundamentals of Google Cloud's Apigee API Platform. You'll learn how to design effective RESTful APIs using industry best practices and document them with OpenAPI specifications. The curriculum covers the complete API lifecycle, from initial design to deployment and management. You'll explore how to create API proxies that act as facades for your backend services, configure endpoints and routing rules, implement policies for request/response handling, and package APIs as products for developer consumption. Through hands-on labs, you'll gain practical experience generating API proxies from OpenAPI specs, configuring target servers, implementing route rules, and creating API products with appropriate access controls. By the end of this course, you'll have a solid understanding of API-first development methodology and how Apigee's comprehensive platform helps organizations build, secure, publish, and analyze their API ecosystem.
