What problem does it solve?

This Skill provides a structured guide and best practices for implementing RESTful API endpoints, ensuring consistency, validation, and proper error handling in your application's backend.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Endpoint Definition: Guides on creating clear, resource-oriented URLs following REST conventions.
• Request Handling: Emphasizes input validation, parsing, and authentication/authorization.
• Response Formatting: Details correct HTTP status codes and consistent response structures.
• Error Handling: Outlines strategies for catching exceptions and returning informative error messages.
• Use Case: When developing a new feature that requires a new API endpoint for user management (e.g., creating a new user), this Skill will guide the implementation process from route definition to response formatting.

Quick Start

Implement a new POST endpoint for creating a user with proper validation and a 201 Created response.
