Seven essential practices for designing robust APIs: REST fundamentals for organizing data resources, proper error handling with clear status codes, API versioning for backward compatibility, rate limiting to prevent abuse, pagination techniques (offset vs cursor) for large datasets, idempotency to avoid duplicate processing, and filtering/sorting for efficient data retrieval. Each practice includes implementation details and trade-offs to consider.
