What you'll learn
Design resources, not endpoints
Model your API around things rather than actions, and use HTTP methods and status codes as they were intended.
Validate and authorise every request
Reject bad input at the edge and check permissions on the server, never in the client.
Handle collections properly
Paginate, filter, and sort in a way that stays correct as data changes underneath.
Operate the service
Document it, test it, and instrument it so a failure is diagnosable from the logs.
