Overview

Discover how to translate functional design requirements into modular, reusable API definitions with Anypoint Platform. In this 2-day instructor-led course, learn about REST architecture and principles, HTTP methods, Application Programming Interface (API) design, and RESTful API Modeling Language (RAML). Use API Designer to create API specifications, define API resources, methods, parameters, and responses, model data in APIs with datatypes, and document and test APIs. Make APIs discoverable and accessible to your developers in order to standardize the way your customers and employees interact with your data.

Skills Gained

When you complete this class, you will be able to:

  • Translate functional design requirements into API resources and methods.
  • Use API Designer to create API specifications.
  • Define API resources, methods, parameters, and responses using RAML.
  • Model data in APIs using datatypes.
  • Test APIs.
  • Make APIs discoverable.
  • Minimize repetition in APIs using resource types and traits.
  • Modularize APIs using libraries, overlays, and extensions.
  • Specify API security schemes.
  • Enhance API responses using hypermedia.
  • Version APIs.

Who Can Benefit

This course is designed for API designers, developers, and architects who are responsible for designing modular APIs on Anypoint Platform using RAML 1.0. Students should have foundational knowledge of Anypoint Platform and a basic understanding of how to build no-code APIs.
