    Introduction

    Sharpen your API design skills with these scenarios. For each, write the OpenAPI spec first, then implement.

    Understanding the topic

    • Design a booking API for a hotel chain (rooms, availability, reservations, idempotent confirms).
    • Design a file-sharing API with signed upload URLs and per-link expiry.
    • Design a webhook delivery system with retries, signatures, and a re-drive endpoint.
    • Design bulk operations — create 1 000 records in one request, returning per-row results.
