With clear definitions and helpful examples, Unkey's API Glossary is your go-to resource for understanding the key concepts and terminology in API development.
API Caching is a technique that stores responses from API requests to reuse them for subsequent requests, enhancing performance by reducing server load and latency.
A design pattern that prevents system failure by monitoring and managing service errors.
API Documentation-Driven Design is a development approach where API documentation is created in parallel with API development, enhancing usability and developer experience.
Load balancing is a technique that distributes network traffic across multiple servers to ensure optimal resource utilization, maximize throughput, minimize response time, and avoid overload.
API Mock Server is a simulated server that mimics the behavior of a real API, returning predefined responses for testing and development purposes.
Backward Compatibility is the ability of a system, software, or technology to interact with older, legacy systems or input designed for them.
Containerization is a method of packaging an application's code and dependencies into a single, isolated unit, enabling consistent operation across different systems.
CORS (Cross-Origin Resource Sharing) is a mechanism that allows many resources (e.g., fonts, JavaScript, etc.) on a web page to be requested from another domain outside the domain from which the resource originated.
SDK (Software Development Kit) is a collection of tools, libraries, and documentation that developers use to create applications for specific platforms.
Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) is an outdated internet security protocol used for encrypting data, ensuring privacy, authentication, and data integrity in online communications.
Single Sign On (SSO) is an authentication process that allows a user to access multiple applications with one set of login credentials.
Statelessness in APIs refers to the server not retaining any client-specific data between requests, making each request independent and self-contained.
