REST Client Made Easy: Exploring Top Libraries Across Languages

REST Client is like a messenger that helps applications talk to a server that provides a RESTful API. It handles tasks such as sending requests for data, updating resources, creating new records, or deleting existing ones. Imagine you need to retrieve information from a remote server or update data in a database. REST clients act as intermediaries, helping your application send requests to the server and receive responses back.

Understanding the Difference - Web APIs vs. Web Services

In today's digital world, where systems need to work together smoothly and communicate effectively, two important terms come into play, APIs and web services. These are the tools that help different applications and systems connect with each other seamlessly. APIs are like secret keys that unlock specific functions and data, saving time for developers and allowing them to reuse code.

Data Driven Testing in ReadyAPI

In this short video we demonstrate an example of data driving tests by using an excel sheet as a datasource. This is just one of many datasource options in ReadyAPI. This is extremely useful and time saving when testing an application with multiple sets of data values during regression testing or performing repetitive tasks with data that changes often.

Gateway to the Future: A Brief History of Kubernetes Ingress

Join Viktor Gamov, a Principal Developer Advocate with Kong, as he navigates the evolution of Kubernetes Ingress. Starting with the basics, he’ll explain how Ingress is pivotal in managing external access to services within a Kubernetes cluster through HTTP and HTTPS routes. In this talk, Viktor will also address its limitations – the challenge of managing multiple Ingress resources, inconsistencies across different controllers, and inherent limitations in handling non-L7 protocols like TCP and UDP.

API Infrastructure is Mission Critical - and Increasingly Under Attack

APIs have revolutionized every industry. They fuel digital transformation and power the web, making up more than 83% of global internet traffic. And API adoption will only grow, with AI, Web3, and decentralization only further driving API usage and integration. But these sometimes-overlooked enablers of connectivity and communication present a serious security challenge: APIs are increasingly in the crosshairs of cyber-attackers.

Documenting APIs on Amazon API Gateway: Code-First or Design-First, The Choice Is Yours

One of the hardest debates is deciding between a code-first API approach or design-first. In an ideal world, we would deliver our APIs at maximum velocity, with minimum maintenance. To maintain the appropriate API consumption, the world has looked at Amazon’s API Gateway as the orchestration of resources to create, deploy, and manage APIs at scale. One of the biggest challenges users face when using any API Gateway is the lack of consistency and standardization throughout the API experience.

A Beginner's Guide to API Data Formats: JSON, XML, Plain Text, and Binary

Imagine you are sending a message to your friend, but you want to ensure that no one else can understand it. So lets say you are encoding your message using a special language that only you and your friend knows. This way, even if someone intercepts the message, they won't be able to understand its true meaning. The encoded message itself is what we call the "payload." In the world of APIs (Application Programming Interfaces), the concept of a payload is quite similar.
