APIs enable breakthrough innovation and digital transformation in organizations and ecosystems of all kinds. To create user-friendly, reliable and well-performing APIs, architects, designers, and developers need expert design guidance. This practical guide cuts through the complexity of API conversations and their message contents, introducing comprehensive guidelines and heuristics for designing APIs sustainably and specifying them clearly, for whatever technologies or platforms you use.

In Patterns for API Design: Simplifying Integration with Loosely Coupled Message Exchanges, five expert architects and developers cover the entire API lifecycle, from launching projects and establishing goals through defining requirements, elaborating designs, planning evolution, and creating useful documentation. They crystallize the collective knowledge of many practitioners into 44 API design patterns, consistently explained with context, pros and cons, conceptual solutions, and concrete examples. To make their pattern language accessible, they present a domain model, a running case study, decision narratives with pattern selection options and criteria, and walkthroughs of real-world projects applying the patterns in two different industries.},

	abstract = {Domain-driven design (DDD) is often applied when implementing microservices or communicating through APIs in distributed
systems. APIs expose a published language that provides a view on entire domain models or subsets of such models. Hence,
tactical DDD patterns such as Aggregate, Service, and Entity may not only structure API implementations, but also guide API
specification work. In our previous work, we described endpoint-level patterns for this context. In this paper, we present three
complementary patterns, namely Aggregated Domain Operation on API Endpoint, Event-Based API Endpoint Operation, and
CRUD-Based API Operation. These patterns aim to derive API operations from the operations of Domain Services and Entities
as well as Domain Events. We also discuss variants of these patterns, such as their combination with the patterns Command
Query Responsibility Segregation (CQRS) and Publish/Subscribe. Our pattern mining work is based on a data set from an
empirical study of 32 grey literature sources investigating practitioner views on deriving API designs from DDD models.},
