Understand how APIs actually work - requests, responses, authentication, and real-time events - no coding required.
What you'll learn

What an API is, explained with analogies

How to read an HTTP request - methods, headers, endpoints, body

How to read an API response - status codes, payloads, errors

REST API design: thinking in resources, not actions

API keys vs. OAuth vs. tokens - and when to use each

How to read official API documentation like an engineer

How to send your first API call and inspect raw JSON

How to build, save, and organize requests in Postman

How to use environments and variables for dev, staging, prod

How to build Postman collections as living documentation

How to chain API requests using one response in the next

How to write basic test assertions in Postman

How Stripe's API is structured - customers, payments, objects

Why idempotency keys matter for avoiding duplicate transactions

How webhooks work vs. polling, and how to verify and troubleshoot events
Requirements

No coding experience required - everything is explained in plain language

A free Postman account (setup covered in the course)

A free Stripe sandbox account (setup covered in the course)

Basic comfort using websites and software - no technical background needed
Description
Every product manager is expected to "understand APIs" - but most PM courses either skip the topic entirely or drown you in engineering jargon that doesn't stick. This course closes that gap.
What you'll learn
In this course you'll explore how APIs are built, tested, and used in real products-through clear explanations, hands-on demos, and a real-world case study drawn from a live fintech API. Each section combines conceptual grounding with practical, tool-based exercises to make learning stick.
You'll start with the fundamentals of how APIs work, then dive into the mechanics of
HTTP requests and responses-methods, headers, endpoints, status codes, and error structures
REST API design and how to think in resources, not actions
Authentication - API keys, OAuth, and tokens, and when each is used
Testing and
debugging APIs using a professional API client

Reading real
API documentation like an engineer would

Real-world API
objects,
resources, and
versioning in a production system
Idempotency,
pagination, and
rate limiting-and why they matter for product decisions
Webhooks and
event-driven architecture, including signature verification and failure handling
You'll also learn how to translate these concepts into sharper specs, better technical conversations, and faster debugging-without ever needing to write code.
What's Inside

4 core modules with 25+ practical lessons

Real API workflows using industry-standard tools and a live production-grade API

Concepts explained with diagrams, analogies, and hands-on exercises

Designed for learners with no prior technical or coding background

Taught by a Product Manager & Instructor with industry experience
By the end of the course, you'll have a practical and complete understanding of APIs-from how they're structured to how they fail and recover. You'll be able to confidently contribute to technical discussions, write better specs, and work alongside engineering teams with real fluency.
Who this course is for

Product managers who want to work more confidently with engineering teams

Business analysts, project managers, or founders who need to understand APIs

Aspiring or junior PMs preparing for technical interviews

Non-technical professionals at fintech, SaaS, or API-driven companies

Anyone who's nodded along in technical meetings without understanding APIs, webhooks, or endpoints
