Programming APIs with C# and .NET

What We’ll Build

In this chapter, we will provide a context for the rest of the book. That context is a simple application for buying and selling cars. We will not build out this application but, in fact, we’ll have only one type of object (Car) and one table in our database. This will allow us to focus on the API rather than getting hung up on database design.

In this chapter, we’re going to cover the following main topics:

  • What an API is and what it is for
  • The backend database that we will use throughout the book
  • The application that we will build throughout the book
  • The Car object that we will use to demonstrate CRUD operations

We will use only free software, as shown in the Technical requirements section, and we will take advantage of open source utilities such as Dapper and AutoMapper, both introduced in Chapter 1.

Description

APIs are at the heart of modern software development, enabling seamless communication between applications. In the C# and .NET ecosystem, mastering API development is key to building scalable, reliable systems that meet both client and enterprise needs. Written by C# and .NET experts Jesse Liberty and Joseph Dluzen, this book draws on their extensive experience as hands-on programmers to equip you with the tools, techniques, and best practices for creating powerful APIs. Starting with API fundamentals, it covers everything you need to design, build, and consume APIs using .NET technologies such as ASP.NET Core, and explores both controller and Function API implementations. You'll integrate essential tools such as Postman for testing to streamline your development workflow. Through practical examples and exercises, the book guides you from database creation to deploying APIs on Azure. By the end of this book, you’ll have gained real-world skills to develop secure, high-performance APIs that scale with your applications for both personal projects and enterprise-level systems.

Who is this book for?

This book is for .NET developers, software engineers, and backend developers looking to master API development using C# and ASP.NET Core. It caters to those with a basic understanding of C# and familiarity with the .NET ecosystem. Even though no prior experience with API frameworks is required, knowledge of ASP.NET Core will be helpful.

What you will learn

  • Understand core API concepts and how to apply them in .NET projects
  • Design RESTful APIs with a focus on scalability
  • Build APIs with ASP.NET Core
  • Explore alternative options for API development using Azure Functions, including stateful workflows with Durable Functions
  • Integrate databases into API projects, ensuring efficient data flow
  • Implement security measures such as authentication and authorization
  • Deploy APIs to Azure and learn the essentials of cloud integration
