API Development Guidelines

Build for clarity

ThailandAPI listings perform best when consumers can understand the API quickly and trust the documentation.

Design endpoints that read cleanly

• Use stable resource names and predictable HTTP methods.
• Prefer consistent naming across list, detail, create, update, and delete flows.
• Keep versioning explicit in your base URL or route structure.

Document every endpoint

• Add a short summary that explains the business action, not just the verb.
• Fill in query params, headers, request body, and response examples.
• Group related endpoints so consumers can scan the reference faster.

Keep examples realistic

• Use Thailand-relevant sample values when they improve comprehension.
• Show a successful response first, then common error cases.
• Avoid placeholder examples that hide required fields.

Plan for operations

• Set credit costs and quotas that match the real cost of the endpoint.
• Monitor logs, latency, and support cases after launch.
• Deprecate carefully and communicate breaking changes early.

Support readiness checklist

• Your base URL is correct and reachable.
• Endpoint summaries are complete.
• Request and response examples are present.
• Pricing and quota behavior are understandable.
• Subscribers know where to open support cases.
