What this material helps you review.
Use this checklist before exposing an API to mobile apps, external integrations, partners or internal systems that depend on stable contracts.
- HTTP methods, resource naming, status codes and response structure.
- DTOs, validation errors and predictable messages for consumers.
- Authentication, CORS, sensitive data, logging and traceability.
- Documentation, versioning and compatibility expectations.
- Operational checks that help the API remain supportable after release.
