REST API Design

Test your REST API design knowledge: HTTP methods, status codes, idempotency, versioning, and auth.

Intermediate 4.7

About this Assessment

This assessment rigorously evaluates your command of pragmatic REST API design — the decisions you make every day when building or consuming HTTP APIs. It mirrors the screening questions and design discussions used by engineering teams to gauge whether you can model resources cleanly, choose the right methods and status codes, and reason about safety, idempotency and retries.

By completing this module you will discover exactly how solid your REST fundamentals are, from URI design and versioning to pagination, authentication and rate limiting. Use the results to pinpoint the topics worth reviewing before your next backend interview or API design review.
