Need help to design Api for ecommerce applications!

[akshit mahajan]

I want to design an API that could support the development and integration of ecommerce applications. Please suggest the best practices to follow.
Also how do I decide what should be the base architecture of the api and what technologies should I use to develop this API. Shall I use REST style or what?

[Jørn Wildt]

That is a very broad question ... may I suggest some reading to get you started?

- "Rest In Practice" http://amzn.com/0596805829

- "RESTful Web APIs" http://amzn.com/1449358063

- "Web API Design" https://pages.apigee.com/web-api-design-website-h-ebook-registration.html

- "Building Hypermedia APIs with HTML5 and Node" http://www.amazon.com/Building-Hypermedia-APIs-HTML5-Node/dp/1449306578

- http://transform.ca.com/REST-API-Design-Guide.html (haven't read it yet myself though)

Have fun.
