API first

API first is an approach where the development of an application or system starts by designing and implementing the application programming interfaces (APIs) first, before building the user interface or other components. By prioritizing the API design, developers can ensure that the core functionality and data access of the application are well-defined and optimized for integration with other systems or platforms. API first development promotes modularity, reusability and interoperability.
