Our Verdict

Gain an impressive understanding of REST API design, development, and management in this engaging course. Despite minor issues with vague explanations and outdated content, you'll walk away with practical insights and skills for creating professional APIs. It is important to note that the curriculum is theoretical and aimed at those with prior experience in web or app development. Instructor engagement is overall positive, but be prepared for additional research on certain topics as some are covered more briefly than desired. For a well-rounded view of REST APIs and best practices, this course serves as an excellent starting point. (4.48/5 stars; 63,047 subscribers)
