API-first

API-first is the concept that an API, and its end consumption, should be the driving force behind software development. In this approach, the API functions as the primary interface for interaction between different software components, services, or systems.

Some examples of API-first design include creating an API before a website, an app, or before system or database integration. An API-first approach focuses on making sure that the API design is clear, consistent, and well-documented before any other development work starts.
