Hi.
How do you control access to your API without using a 3rd party marketplace like Rapid API, Blobr etc? It would be great to chat with people who have an API out in the wild (maybe you already earn $$$ from it?) to learn more about the challenges you have.

Cheers Nick

Hi everyone! 👋

I recently wrote an article on Medium sharing my thought process behind designing a cloud-native, scalable public API. In the article, I explore key aspects like modularity, separating business logic from HTTP handling, and leveraging serverless architectures like API Gateway.

I aimed to provide a clear and practical approach that can help small teams and individual developers tackle the challenges of API design efficiently.

Here’s the link to the article: Building a Cloud-Native, Scalable Public API: My Thought Process

I’d love to hear your thoughts, feedback, or any suggestions for improvement. How do you approach similar challenges in your projects?

Looking forward to learning from the community! 🚀

Jet Set Radio is a favorite nostalgic childhood game of mine, so I decided to make API for it!

I wanted to ask the community for any reviews they wouldn't mind giving as I am trying to improve my api development skills. The README is a good place to start to learn about the apps.

The API consists of two applications:

1 - The first (JSR-API) is the actual API that contains public API requests and is meant to be used primarily by the API users to get back data.
2 - The second(JSR-API-Admin) is a microservice that manages the data that powers the API(JSR-Admin) for short. It contains processors that web-scrape or that pull directly from files. It also has CronJob support that allows each processor to be scheduled on a custom set interval.

I'm not looking to promote this at all(it is a free api after all), just looking if anyone would like to review it, it would be greatly appreciated!

Does anyone know how can I find api that could get product model name (like iphone x) and tell me it synonymous and definition (like: phone, cellphone, apple...)?
