Create Restful Api Design Strategy
This prompt is designed to help software developers, technical architects, and API designers create a comprehensive strategy for designing RESTful APIs. It guides users through defining resources, endpoints, HTTP methods, request/response structures, authentication, versioning, and error handling. By using this prompt, developers can ensure that their APIs are well-structured, scalable, and maintainable, following best practices and industry standards. The prompt is particularly useful for teams building new APIs, redesigning existing ones, or documenting API design guidelines for cross-functional collaboration. Benefits include improved API usability, consistent design patterns, reduced technical debt, and a clear blueprint for both backend and frontend teams to integrate seamlessly. It also supports generating API strategy documentation that can be shared with stakeholders, speeding up development cycles and reducing miscommunication.

How to Use
1. Replace placeholders with your project-specific information.
2. Specify the number of resources or endpoints if desired for more precise guidance.
3. Include any unique technical constraints (e.g., database type, frameworks) for tailored recommendations.
4. Review AI-generated schemas and strategies for alignment with your existing infrastructure.
5. Use the output as a blueprint for API documentation, planning, or team collaboration.
6. Avoid vague project descriptions; detailed context produces more accurate strategies.
