Powerful API Features for Modern Applications

Discover all the capabilities of MyAppAPI - from RESTful endpoints to GraphQL, WebSockets, and beyond.

RESTful API Architecture

Our RESTful API follows industry best practices for consistent, predictable, and intuitive API design. Built on standard HTTP methods and status codes, our API makes integration straightforward and maintainable.

Key RESTful Architecture Features

  • Resource-Oriented Design

    Our API endpoints are organized around resources with intuitive URL structures, making it easy to understand and navigate the API.

  • Standard HTTP Methods

    Use standard GET, POST, PUT, PATCH, and DELETE methods to interact with resources in a consistent, predictable manner.

  • Comprehensive Status Codes

    Detailed HTTP status codes provide clear feedback on the success or failure of each request, simplifying debugging and error handling.

  • Hypermedia Links

    Responses include hypermedia links (HATEOAS) to related resources, enabling dynamic discovery and navigation of the API.

  • Consistent Response Formats

    All API responses follow a consistent JSON structure, with standardized fields for data, metadata, and error information.

Our RESTful API provides a solid foundation for building robust applications, with predictable behavior and excellent performance characteristics. Whether you're building a single-page application, mobile app, or complex microservices architecture, our RESTful API offers the reliability and consistency you need.

GraphQL Support

In addition to our RESTful API, we offer a fully-featured GraphQL implementation that gives you precise control over the data you request. With GraphQL, you can request exactly what you need and receive exactly that data in a single request.

Key GraphQL Features

  • Custom Data Queries

    Request exactly the data you need in a single query, eliminating over-fetching and under-fetching problems common in REST.

  • Type System

    A strong type system ensures consistent, predictable data structures and reduces errors in your applications.

  • Real-time Updates

    Use GraphQL subscriptions to receive real-time updates when data changes, ideal for collaborative and real-time applications.

  • Introspection

    Built-in schema introspection allows your client applications to discover available types, fields, and operations.

  • GraphiQL Explorer

    Interactive in-browser IDE for exploring the GraphQL API, testing queries, and viewing documentation.

GraphQL is particularly well-suited for applications where bandwidth is a concern, like mobile apps, or where you need to combine data from multiple resources in a single request. Our implementation includes optimizations to ensure excellent performance even with complex queries.

WebSocket Connections

Our WebSocket API enables persistent, bidirectional communication between client and server, making it perfect for real-time applications, collaborative tools, and live data streams.

Key WebSocket Features

  • Bidirectional Communication

    Maintain a persistent connection that allows both client and server to send messages at any time without the overhead of repeated HTTP requests.

  • Low Latency

    Significantly reduced latency compared to polling or long-polling approaches, with minimal protocol overhead.

  • Event-Based Architecture

    Subscribe to specific events or channels to receive only the updates relevant to your application.

  • Automatic Reconnection

    Client libraries handle connection management, including automatic reconnection with exponential backoff.

  • Presence Awareness

    Track which users or clients are currently connected and receive notifications when connection status changes.

WebSockets are ideal for applications that require real-time updates, like chat applications, collaborative editing tools, live dashboards, gaming, and financial trading platforms. Our WebSocket API is designed for reliability and scale, handling millions of concurrent connections with minimal latency.

Batch Processing

Our batch processing capabilities allow you to combine multiple API operations into a single HTTP request, reducing network overhead and improving application performance.

Key Batch Processing Features

  • Multiple Operations

    Combine multiple API operations (GET, POST, PUT, DELETE) into a single HTTP request to minimize round-trips.

  • Atomic Transactions

    Optional transaction support ensures that either all operations succeed or none are applied, maintaining data consistency.

  • Parallel Processing

    Our server efficiently processes batch operations in parallel when possible, maximizing throughput.

  • Error Handling

    Detailed per-operation error reporting enables fine-grained error handling even in batch contexts.

  • Rate Limit Optimization

    Batch requests count more efficiently against rate limits, allowing higher throughput for batch-aware applications.

Batch processing is particularly valuable for operations that need to create, update, or delete multiple resources at once, such as bulk imports, data synchronization, or complex multi-entity transactions. By reducing network overhead and server processing time, batch operations can significantly improve performance for data-intensive applications.

Real-time Data Streaming

Our real-time data streaming capabilities enable continuous data flows for applications that need to process or display live data feeds with minimal latency.

Key Data Streaming Features

  • Server-Sent Events (SSE)

    Efficient one-way server-to-client streaming over HTTP, ideal for dashboards, news feeds, and monitoring applications.

  • Stream Filtering

    Apply server-side filters to stream only the data relevant to your application, reducing bandwidth and processing requirements.

  • Compression

    Automatic data compression reduces bandwidth usage while maintaining real-time performance.

  • Resumable Streams

    Stream position tracking allows clients to resume streams after disconnection without missing data.

  • Historical Replay

    Access historical stream data with the ability to replay from any point in time within the retention window.

Real-time data streaming is essential for applications that monitor changing data, like financial market feeds, IoT device telemetry, analytics dashboards, and social media feeds. Our streaming infrastructure is built for high throughput and low latency, capable of handling millions of events per second while delivering updates to clients in near real-time.

  • Customizable Event Types

    Subscribe to precisely the events that matter to your application from our extensive event catalog.

  • Signature Verification

    Every webhook request includes a cryptographic signature, allowing you to verify that the request came from MyAppAPI.

  • Automatic Retries

    Failed webhook deliveries are automatically retried with exponential backoff to ensure reliable event delivery.

  • Webhook Logs

    Comprehensive logging of webhook delivery attempts, responses, and failures for debugging and audit purposes.

Webhooks are ideal for integrating with third-party services, updating derived data stores, triggering workflows, and building event-driven architectures. Our webhook infrastructure is designed for reliability, with guaranteed at-least-once delivery, comprehensive monitoring, and detailed delivery tracking to ensure your applications receive all the events they need.
