About MyAppAPI

A reference and guide site for developers working with modern web APIs — REST, GraphQL, WebSockets, and the operational practices around them.

Last reviewed on 4 May 2026.

Who this site is for

MyAppAPI publishes reference documentation, design guides, and integration walkthroughs aimed at engineers who build, operate, or consume web APIs. The audience is broad: backend developers shipping services, frontend or mobile developers integrating against them, and platform engineers responsible for the gateways, auth layers, and observability around an API estate.

Most readers arrive looking for a concrete answer — how to authenticate, how to paginate, how a particular pattern is supposed to behave — and the content is shaped to give them that answer first, with the explanation underneath.

What we cover

The catalogue is organised around the surfaces a working developer actually touches:

Editorial approach

Content follows three rules. First, examples are the unit of truth — every concept is paired with a runnable snippet or a worked-through scenario, not just prose. Second, decisions are framed as trade-offs: when there is more than one reasonable way to do something, we explain the choice rather than picking arbitrarily on the reader's behalf. Third, anything that depends on a moving target — versioned behaviour, deprecations, security baselines — carries a "last reviewed" date so readers know how fresh the guidance is.

How content is produced

Pages are written and reviewed in-house, with technical accuracy checked against the public specifications they describe (the relevant RFCs for REST and HTTP semantics, the GraphQL specification, and the IETF drafts that govern WebSockets and OAuth). Drafts go through editorial review for clarity before they're published, and substantive pages are revisited at least once a year — sooner if the underlying standard or platform behaviour shifts.

We don't accept paid placement inside articles, and product comparisons stick to what the published specifications and documentation say rather than to vendor marketing claims.

Corrections

Errors are inevitable. If you spot one — a stale code sample, a broken link, an outdated recommendation — please let us know via the contact page. Corrections are applied to the affected page and noted in the changelog when they're material.

Advertising

Some pages display advertising served by Google AdSense. Ads are clearly distinguishable from editorial content and are not placed in a way that interferes with reading. Details about cookies, ad personalisation, and your choices are covered in the privacy policy and the cookie policy.
