By 2027, APIs will have a global impact exceeding the combined GDPs of the UK, Japan, France, and Australia (Kong Inc.)
Do you want a prominent role in the new software project within your organization? Design its API! OpenAPI with user-friendly Swagger UI increases adoption by providing clear JSON structure for front-end teams and auto-generated API skeletons for backend efficiency. This course covers the API-first system design approach using Swagger API Hub鈥檚 trial version, Using the API-first approach, APIs are designed before any application logic is written, enabling teams to work in parallel and ensuring consistency, scalability, and reusability across applications. After completing this course, you will be able to: 1. Define the API data models and API call types (e.g. read, write). 2. Deliver a complete interactive API definition. 3. Import a third-party API definition and extend it. 4. Add a test suite to your API definition to increase robustness. 5. Provide the server code of the API to your developer team. Don't just watch the API economy grow and become a key player! Enroll now to master OpenAPI and Swagger UI, becoming an invaluable asset and unlocking career growth. This course is designed for professionals involved in the early stages of digital product development, including product owners, IT business analysts, innovation managers, data analysts, project managers, technical writers, QA engineers, software architects, and software developers. Whether you're defining system requirements or ensuring quality and documentation, this course will equip you with the tools and knowledge to contribute effectively to API-first projects using Swagger API Hub. To get the most out of this course, learners should have a basic understanding of what APIs are and how they function. Familiarity with JSON data types is essential, as API data models rely heavily on JSON formatting. Additionally, prior experience with Python or another programming language will help in understanding API structures and in using autogenerated server code. By the end of this course, learners will be able to estimate CRUD operations aligned with data models, generate and publish functional API documentation, import and customize third-party API definitions within Swagger API Hub, and set up automated test jobs to ensure their APIs are robust and production-ready. They will also gain practical experience using Swagger tools to streamline collaboration between development and product teams.
