Video Tutorials

The following videos walk through designing an example stock management API in iterations, from designing the initial paths, to adding example data, customizing error messages and much more.

Hello World: Start Designing your API

In minutes, enter a path and resource properties and click to instantly have a real working API backend prototype of a list of stocks.

Iteration 1: Add More Paths

Start designing paths and see how database support is automatically generated. Test the API buy sending requests and then finally deploy the API backend to the cloud for external users to try it out.

Iteration 2: Add a Path with Single resource

Add path that only has a single resource, not a collection of resources.

Iteration 3: Modify Resources

At any time you can add/remove properties of your resources and the schema is seamlessly updated in the data.

Iteration 4: Using Data Types

Data types are objects used to describe resource properties.

Iteration 5: Error Responses

Add error responses to your API backend paths.

Iteration 6: Add Query Parameters

Add query parameters to the API paths.

Iteration 7: Using Docs

Use default docs provided or easily create your own documents for your use case.

Iteration 8: Add Low Code Business Logic

Add example low code logic to make sure a duplicate stock ticker symbol can't be added to your stock list.

Iteration 9: Custom Responses

An example of how to Override the default response for an HTTP request for a "favorite" stock resource.

Iteration 10: Webhooks

Send updates to external APIs using webhooks, in this example we send a Slack notification.

GraphQL

As you design API paths, a GraphQL layer is automatically generated.

Sharing APIs for Users to Review

After deploying your API to the cloud, easily share your API for others to review.

Import OpenAPI

Import OpenAPI and then send requests to the auto-generated API backend prototype in the cloud.
