In my experience with working on a retail company's API for launching their mobile applications on Android and iOS devices, there were a few items worth recalling:
1) The APIs were external facing and hence they required authentication and authorization over the internet.
2) The APIs could be signed on from mobile applications as well as desktop application.
3) The APIs supported both encrypted as well as unencrypted access over Internet.
4) The APIs were versioned and had a versioning policy.
5) The APIs were categorized based on services they offered. They exposed resources for these services.
6) The APIs had a cache for improving performance. The cache used URI hashing as well as periodic refreshes from data sources.
7) The APIs were published through a web proxy that provided monitoring services.
8) The APIs were called by clients with different APIkeys.
9) The APIs were implemented to access data from different data sources.
10) The APIs had SLA defined and honored. These covered timeout and availability.
11) The APIs were performance tested with different workloads.
12) The API URIs were qualified with the resource and query parameters necessary for shopping.
