Basic principles of API development

The main components of an API created using the API Designer are files and projects.

Basics about API files:

  • Use API files to define API methods for sending data to the application or to querying data from the application.

  • An API file can belong to more than one project.

Basics about API projects:

  • API projects combine multiple API files into logical sections. The API project includes the configuration.

For basics about the API Server, see API Server basics.
