Building own API

I'm working on a project (in ASP.NET) and will soon have to start implementing own API for users to allow them using the functionality from their code. I have done some research (e.g. found nice article here: http://www.startupcto.com/backend-tech/building-an-api-best-practices) in order to follow the best practice and I'm pretty much decided for RESTful service and JSON as a return format.

My question - would you have any tips from your personal experience or any advice what to be careful about or possibly some good sources/articles on this topic?

Thank you in advance

Some great blog series (11 or 13 parts) here:

and some newer ones:

Lots of official sample projects here:

Also if you have a pluralsight subscription or use their trial there are lots of good (and mostly recent) videos to help you out.
