Best Practices

An API delivers access to a business's valuable resources, and no doubt there will a level of conduct that will be expected of developers while accessing these resources. While a developer is onboarding, this is the best time to provide a plain english introduction to the best practices around integrating with an API.

Best practices should be an introductory lesson for developers of how to properly integrate with an API, it should not dive into the legaleze and granular detail provided by terms of use. Think of your best practices as a more friendlier, and easier to follow version of your terms of use--setting the proper tone of how a developer will use APIs as they are getting started.
