Why Node?

•  Async, fast enough for web programming

• Very active and talented community

• NPM makes code reuse a breeze• Honestly, javascript isn't that bad

API Recipe (Yak Shaving)

• Documentation

• Performance tracking

•  Authentication

• Usage tracking

•  Access Control (rate-limits, privileges)

• The actual service (and tests)

There are companies that do a lot of this for you for $. (mashery, apigee, 3scale)

Authentication

If your API is public, you'll want to do thefollowing.

• Distribute keys (we have a django app for that) uuid4 is good

•  Authenticate keys (we have a connect

middleware for that)• Support 2-legged OAuth. Version 1.0a is

fine.

•  Ability to block keys (we'll use it later)
