This lesson resource introduces students to API certifications and access control within the context of data analytics systems. The PowerPoint explains how organisations regulate access to APIs and explores the different certification types: Public, Private, Internal, Partner, and Composite APIs. Students learn how these access models affect security, data sharing, and system integration in real-world business scenarios.
The lesson includes a range of engaging activities such as Think–Pair–Share discussions, group research tasks, misconception checks, and exam-style application questions. Students analyse practical scenarios, evaluate risks of open data access, and justify which API certification model is most appropriate in different business contexts.
Designed for OCR Cambridge Technicals IT: Data Analytics (Unit F200 – APIs), this resource supports students in developing the analytical skills needed to identify, compare, and apply API access models in exam situations.
