How to find the right API for the job
Blog post from Postman
Postman's Student Programs team collaborated with Senior Developer Advocate Ian Douglas to create a livestream and blog post offering guidance on selecting suitable APIs for student projects. The advice centers on understanding project requirements and goals to determine the appropriate type of API needed, such as a weather API for a weather app. The blog highlights the importance of choosing free, beginner-friendly APIs with good documentation and suggests resources like Twitter’s API v2 and public REST APIs workspace. Additionally, Postman’s Public API Network provides a vast selection of APIs, enabling developers to explore and connect with over 20 million peers. Students can deepen their API knowledge through Postman’s livestreams, YouTube playlists, and certification programs, which can enhance their resumes and professional profiles. Postman also offers educational resources and a supportive Discord community for ongoing learning and engagement.
