Fine-grained APIs
A fine-grained API design method involves creating services that are designed to carry out precise, tiny tasks. These APIs are distinguished by their extremely detailed methods, which give clients a great deal of control but necessitate more API calls to carry out intricate tasks.
The following are the key features of fine-grained APIs:
- Particular operations: Fine-grained APIs provide endpoints for executing tiny, highly specific tasks. To create a user, assign a role to the user, and set permissions, for instance, separate API calls would be required in a user management system.
- More API calls: Since each operation is so detailed and granular, completing a complex task frequently necessitates making more round-trip calls between the client and server, which increases network traffic.
- Flexibility and control: Since fine-grained APIs can be used in a variety of ways to carry out complex tasks, they offer a client a high degree of flexibility and...
