Creating Read Only APIs with DreamFactory

Mar 8, 2021 By DreamFactory In DreamFactory
As a best practice, you should take care to provide clients with the minimal API access privileges required to successfully complete their tasks. DreamFactory's role based access control manager ensures administrators never leave your data sources unnecessarily vulnerable, offering a point-and-click interface for quickly defining and reviewing privileges. In this video we'll walk through the configuration of a role-based access control, demonstrating how a client's API access privileges can be easily updated so as to allow only read access to a select set of API endpoints.

How Customer Success Teams Should Monitor Account Health and API Usage

Mar 3, 2021 By Derric Gilling In Moesif

Leading customer success for developer-first or API-first businesses is quite different from traditional enterprise software. The best API products are designed to be self-serve and hands-off, meaning customers rarely need to sign into a web portal once implementation is done. If you’re a Stripe or Twilio customer, when’s the last time you signed into their web portal? Hopefully not recently, otherwise that may imply a problem or issue.

SOAP vs REST: What's The Difference?

Mar 3, 2021 By Tony Harris In DreamFactory
Developers, engineers, and anyone else looking to streamline development and decrease build times for integrations rely on APIs (application programming interface) to enable applications and databases to communicate.
