## ✅ Decision Checklist
|
|
|
|
Before designing an API:
|
|
|
|
- [ ] **Asked user about API consumers?**
|
|
- [ ] **Chosen API style for THIS context?** (REST/GraphQL/tRPC)
|
|
- [ ] **Defined consistent response format?**
|
|
- [ ] **Planned versioning strategy?**
|
|
- [ ] **Considered authentication needs?**
|
|
- [ ] **Planned rate limiting?**
|
|
- [ ] **Documentation approach defined?**
|

## ❌ Anti-Patterns
|
|
|
|
**DON'T:**
|
|
- Default to REST for everything
|
|
- Use verbs in REST endpoints (/getUsers)
|
|
- Return inconsistent response formats
|
|
- Expose internal errors to clients
|
|
- Skip rate limiting
|
|
|
|
**DO:**
|
|
- Choose API style based on context
|
|
- Ask about client requirements
|
|
- Document thoroughly
|
|
- Use appropriate status codes
