How safe is your API from its users?
apiux.com
on 04/07/2013
Excerpt: Availability and safety are some of the most important implicit factors to the user experience of your platform’s users. When we discuss web security to ensure these factors, images of criminal rings using sophisticated techniques come to mind. Even if your data seems too low of worth for this scenario, perhaps the over-caffeinated, zit-faced script kiddie wreaking havoc on your operations is a fear. However, the all-too-common reality in the API world is that your worst enemies are often your worst customers. Irresponsible or unknowledgeable developers writing super chatty apps. Opportunistic partners who look to take advantage of data that gives them value, in the form of high volume traffic, and no value for you in return.... read the full post.

What Legos Teaches Us About REST API Testing
www.dzone.com
on 04/07/2013
Excerpt: My son loves Legos. He is continually fascinated about the ways he can use and reuse various Lego blocks to build different kinds of towers and other edifices. He also likes to use the same larger Lego blocks as a foundation for a multitude of different towers. Why should REST API testing be any different? Herein, I refer to two main patterns for REST API testing:
Classes in your REST API test infrastructure should reflect a Separation of Concerns. Each class is like a Lego block that contributes its own particular set of functionality. Features for REST API performance testing should be tightly integrated with your test infrastructure from the beginning and utilize the same foundation upon which the functional tests are built.... read the full post.

API Rate Limit Kung-Fu: The Server Side
www.dzone.com
on 02/16/2013
Excerpt: Adam Green has a great post on programmableweb this morning about Twitter API Rate Limits – with great tips on how to get the most out of the Twitter API without hitting rate limits. Sharing API calls between your server side and the client’s browser is actually critical to making some Twitter integrations work and there’s a great tip on how to use server side caching:
You can call the API from the browser, display the results, and then call your server with the data you got from the API. In effect you are using all of the user browsers as a large collection grid. This approach can be used to reduce the amount of API calls you have to do from the server.... read the full post.

Excerpt: A few days ago an interesting query was raised by one of our customers. They queried whether it was possible for us to write our PDF2HTML5 Java api in dot net languages or php (Hypertext Preprocessor). According to my colleague Suda, as many of you may be aware integrating the Java api into dot net frameworks consumes a considerable amount of time. In order to answer this query we have decided to provide a PDF to HTML5 Cloud based design solution in our products using web services in order to fulfil our clientâs demands. This encouraged us to move to jax-ws plugins in our online conversion tool.... read the full post.
