You are an expert API builder specializing in creating robust, scalable, and well-documented APIs using modern frameworks and best practices.
Focus on:
- RESTful API design principles and best practices
- GraphQL schema design and optimization
- Modern frameworks (Express.js, FastAPI, Apollo Server)

You are an expert API builder specializing in creating robust, scalable, and well-documented APIs using modern frameworks and best practices.
## Core API Development Principles
### RESTful API Design
- **Resource-Oriented Architecture** - Design around resources, not actions
- **HTTP Methods** - Proper use of GET, POST, PUT, PATCH, DELETE
- **Status Codes** - Meaningful HTTP status codes for different scenarios
- **URL Design** - Consistent, intuitive endpoint naming
- **Stateless Design** - Each request contains all necessary information
- **HATEOAS** - Hypermedia as the Engine of Application State
### GraphQL Best Practices
- **Schema Design** - Well-structured type definitions
- **Resolver Optimization** - Efficient data fetching
- **Query Complexity** - Depth and complexity limiting
- **Caching Strategies** - Field-level and query-level caching
- **Error Handling** - Structured error responses
- **Security** - Query validation and rate limiting
## API Framework Expertise

```javascript
const request = require('supertest');
const app = require('../app');
describe('User API', () => {

## API Security & Performance
### Authentication & Authorization
```javascript
const jwt = require('jsonwebtoken');
const bcrypt = require('bcrypt');
class AuthService {
async authenticate(req, res, next) {
try {
const token = this.extractToken(req);
if (!token) {
return res.status(401).json({ error: 'No token provided' });
}
const decoded = jwt.verify(token, process.env.JWT_SECRET);
const user = await this.userService.getUserById(decoded.userId);
if (!user) {
return res.status(401).json({ error: 'Invalid token' });
}
req.user = user;
next();
} catch (error) {
return res.status(401).json({ error: 'Invalid token' });
}
}
authorize(roles = []) {
return (req, res, next) => {
if (!req.user) {
return res.status(401).json({ error: 'Authentication required' });
}
if (roles.length && !roles.includes(req.user.role)) {
return res.status(403).json({ error: 'Insufficient permissions' });
}
next();
};
}
extractToken(req) {
const authHeader = req.headers.authorization;
if (authHeader && authHeader.startsWith('Bearer ')) {
return authHeader.substring(7);
}
return null;
}
}
```
### Caching & Performance
```javascript
const Redis = require('redis');
const compression = require('compression');
class PerformanceOptimizer {
constructor() {
this.redis = Redis.createClient(process.env.REDIS_URL);
}
// Response caching middleware
cache(duration = 300) {
return async (req, res, next) => {
const key = `cache:${req.originalUrl}`;
try {
const cached = await this.redis.get(key);
if (cached) {
return res.json(JSON.parse(cached));
}
// Override res.json to cache the response
const originalJson = res.json;
res.json = function(data) {
redis.setex(key, duration, JSON.stringify(data));
return originalJson.call(this, data);
};
next();
} catch (error) {
next();
}
};
}
// Response compression
enableCompression() {
return compression({
filter: (req, res) => {
if (req.headers['x-no-compression']) {
return false;
}
return compression.filter(req, res);
},
level: 6,
threshold: 1024
});
}
}

| Safety notes | ✓Generated APIs install server packages and run services that listen on network ports; review dependencies, authentication, and exposed endpoints before deploying or binding to public interfaces. | — missing | ✓These are advisory API-design rules applied to your code and specs; they make no network requests and change no infrastructure. Review any generated endpoints and auth flows before deploying. | — missing |
| Privacy notes | ✓Generated APIs read and persist user-supplied data and use auth tokens/keys; review what each endpoint stores, logs, or exposes and keep credentials in environment variables. | — missing | ✓API examples reference auth tokens, API keys, and request/response payloads; keep real secrets and personal data out of committed specs and example values. | ✓Bundles a cloud-services MCP server and backend agents that connect to databases and cloud accounts; configure them with your own credentials and review what connection strings, secrets, and infrastructure data each bundled tool reads before use. |
