Our focus in today's episode is more on the technical side of things and we get right into the weeds on the subject of how to continue your development work when you do not have all the API information you need. We speak about a bunch of options at your disposal, some of which we have tried and some that we have merely heard of, but whichever route you choose, this is definitely something you need to be able to do! Tuning in, you will hear about some recommended resources and tools for the processes of creating mock data and fake responses, and how to approach the data structure and model for the best results. We also get into some thoughts on the responsibilities related to APIs and why considering the different kinds of brains and machines that might be interpreting the data can help us format it most effectively. To finish off, we list a few of our wins and losses in the domain, before getting into this week's fun picks, including a novel, a TV show, a Japanese word game and more!

“Sometimes you need to actually be able to figure out the integration part of the API before the API is ready.” — Ari [0:06:16]
“If you're wanting to be able to run tests quickly, having to run your tests against an actual API, that can take a while.” — Alex [0:10:07]
“I do you feel like data transformation is one of the most painful parts of dealing with APIs, especially when the API is not in place.” — Tessa [0:12:40]
