The 3 Rules I Follow When Designing APIs That Last

I treat API design like writing a long-term contract: clear, predictable, and easy to extend.

Every endpoint I ship passes three quick checks: 1️⃣ Human readability — a dev should understand it in 10 seconds. 2️⃣ Test coverage — if it’s not tested, it’s not done. 3️⃣ Version control — break nothing for existing clients.

These small habits keep teams from rewriting APIs six months later.
