Need to build an API and you aren't sure where to start? Wondering if you should be strict with a restful interface or version your api? Perhaps you need to secure your data with some type of encryption?
Explore the different options for building your application as we share our experiences from building the change: healthcare api. Learn from our choices on things like versioning the api, using AES encryption, considering HIPPA security, and much more.
Twitter, github, NY Times, and many others have built an API using rails, we will look at some of the choices they made in build their respective apps. The goal is to examine different approaches and leave you with the knowledge to make the choice about how to tackle your own api.
