API style guides

API style guides are sets of best practices and conventions for designing and documenting Application Programming Interfaces (APIs). They help developers create APIs that are consistent, easy to use, and understandable. A good style guide covers aspects like naming conventions, endpoint structure, data formats, error handling, and versioning. By following these guidelines, developers ensure their APIs are user-friendly and maintainable, making it easier for other programmers to work with them. Essentially, an API style guide acts like a rulebook for creating clear and effective communication between software applications.
