What are some good resources to learn APIs?

1 pointsby grepcatabout 3 years ago
I&#x27;m not a developer. I actually work in identity and access management, tokens, authentication, etc. The closest I come to this would be powershell.<p>Some aspects of my job overlap with developers though. It seems that more often than not, tech that I&#x27;m responsible for implementing and administrating like secrets management, privlidged access and even directories all leverage APIs.<p>What resources would the HN crowd recommend for this non-dev to learn all about APIs?

I&#x27;m also a non-dev although I have a little Python experience, and I found reading the docs for FastAPI (a Python library to create API based applications) to be quite enlightening.<p>In particular the &quot;Tutorial - User Guide&quot; which walks you through creating a little app.<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;fastapi.tiangolo.com&#x2F;tutorial&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;fastapi.tiangolo.com&#x2F;tutorial&#x2F;</a>

Have you tried playing around with Postman? They have some great material for learning about&#x2F;interacting with (web) APIs
