Structured interview

Question: How did you design the API endpoints, and what considerations did you take into account regarding RESTful principles?
- Expected Answer: The candidate should explain how they structured the endpoints (e.g., /api/books/ for listing and creating books, /api/books/{id}/ for retrieving, updating, or deleting a specific book) and how they adhered to RESTful conventions.
- Sample Answer: "I designed the API endpoints to follow RESTful principles, ensuring each endpoint represents a specific resource. I used proper HTTP methods—GET for retrieving data, POST for creating, PUT/PATCH for updating, and DELETE for removing resources."
Question: How did you implement authentication in the API, and why did you choose this method?
- Expected Answer: The candidate should describe the authentication method used (e.g., token-based authentication) and explain why it was appropriate for the task.
- Sample Answer: "I implemented token-based authentication using Django REST Framework's TokenAuthentication class because it provides a simple and secure way to manage user sessions in APIs."
Question: What steps did you take to ensure the security of the API?
- Expected Answer: The candidate should discuss securing the API, including using authentication, validating inputs, and handling errors appropriately.
- Sample Answer: "I ensured security by implementing token authentication, validating all inputs to prevent SQL injection, and handling errors to avoid exposing sensitive information through API responses."
