A survival kit to beat APIs interview.

[Inayatullah Shinwari]

Great Article!

I have been building REST APIs for the past year or two. I was looking for an article like for a long time. Appreciate your efforts.

[Raul Junco]

Thanks for reading!

As a PM working with APIs this is definitely something I really needed, great article, gonna share it with the non-technical team so they have an ABC they can always relate to!

[Raul Junco]

Thanks, Xavi. Glad to help!

[Saurabh Dashora]

Awesome compilation of questions Raul. This can be so handy when preparing for interviews.

Also, thanks for the mention.

[Raul Junco]

Very true, Saurabh, thanks!

[Giri]

Nice information, thanks

[Raul Junco]

Thanks for reading!

Great article! Found it very informative. However, I noticed in the diagram under section 5 on securing APIs that the arrow labeled “credentials” points from the auth server to the application, and “tokens” points from the application to the auth server. Isn’t it usually the other way around—credentials sent from the application to the auth server, and tokens issued by the auth server to the application?🤔 I might be misunderstanding, but I thought I’d point it out.

[Raul Junco]

Oh, good catch, FIXED!

Thanks so much for the feedback, Agatha.

[Lorenzo Mugnai]

Love this. Thanks! I'll definitely be sharing it with my team 👍

[Raul Junco]

Glad you liked it, Lorenzo!

Thanks 👊

[Daniel Moka]

Love this! Asking the right questions can reveal and highlight so many things!

[Raul Junco]

And that is what a good interview should be about.

Well said, Daniel!

[Neo Kim]

this is a fantastic list to review before API interviews, thank you. Good work

[Raul Junco]

Thanks, Neo!

[Petar Ivanov]

That's pure gold and a great checklist to ace a back-end interview.
