Mocking is one of those things that started out as a simple idea, and has evolved to support an incredible amount of developer use cases over the years. In this episode of the Podcast, Tom from Wiremock chats with Phil about what mocking is, strategies for not littering OpenAPI doc with mocking details, and ways to keep api dev teams empowered by mocking, instead of hampered by it.Wiremockon BlueSky @wiremock.bsky.socialon Mastodon @fosstodon/wiremockon GitHub @wiremock/wiremockCreators & Guests Phil Sturgeon - Host Tom Akehurst - Guest Click here to view the episode transcript.

In this episode of 'APIs You Won't Hate', the Phil discusses API development with Joel Clermont, a prominent member of the Laravel PHP community. They explore different approaches to building APIs, focusing particularly on the debate between code-first and design-first methodologies. Joel shares his experiences and challenges with generating API specifications and expresses his preference for manually writing specs. They also touch on challenges related to auto-generated specs, including the risk of drift between code and documentation. Various tools and strategies for improving API spec accuracy and integration are discussed, highlighting the importance of planning and thorough documentation in API development.Joel Clermontwebsite - joelclermont.comgithub - @joelclermontWhy I don't like generating API specs on Mastering LaravelOpenAPI Overlay spec on GitHubUse OpenAPI Overlays Today from APIs You Won't HateScramble for LaravelCreators & Guests Phil Sturgeon - Host Joel Clermont - Guest

Though we've been working together for a long while, it turns out that Alexander, Phil, and Mike had never all recorded a podcast together before. We caught up to catch up on what everyone's been up to these past few months, to talk APIs, and to gab about the future of this very community. Creators & Guests Phil Sturgeon - Host Mike Bifulco - Host Alexander Karan - Host

Matt and Phil are joined by Matthew Reinbold, director of API Ecosystems and Digital Transformations to discuss Postman's State of the API 2021 report, detailing various data points from around the API world from which specification people turn to, to how confident people feel deploying their APIs. They also discuss various topics around remote work, how APIs enable more remote work and what will happen in the next few years for APIs.Notes:Matthew on twitter: https://twitter.com/libel_voxPostman's State of the API

Matt, Mike and Phil get back together after a wild summer vacay of drinks, sand, trees and getting hit by a car while out on a bike. We catch up with Phil and Stoplights efforts to reshape API Documentation as well as responsible OSS Community Involvement.

Matt is joined by Taylor (@taylor_atx) and Kin (@apievangelist) to talk about the API Specifications Conference (ASC). We talked about how the conference is shaping up, the kinds of talks they are hoping to put forward in the program, how it is organizing a conference under the Linux Foundation and how can you get involved with such an important, yet very niche, topic in our community.

Sparked by this tweet, Matt and Mike have an informal chat about the whole Swagger to OpenAPI transition and why OpenAPI hasn't really been able to step away from the shadow of Swagger. We discuss ways communities members can help with pushing the OpenAPI naming over using Swagger, how SEO plays a fair bit into the whole thing and why naming things is just plain hard. 

Matt and Phil are joined by API developer Hunter Skrasek, a friend of the pod, to talk about his experiences moving their APIs from a monolith to a microservices architecture and his team is utilizing API Gateways and Service MeshesLinks: Hunter on TwitterAPI GatewayApp Service Mesh

Phil, Mike, and Matt get together for a discussion about how to safely sunset an API endpoint with the end goal being deprecation. We take a look at why its important to be overly communicative about it, what an appropriate length of time is from announcement to deprecation and how you can do it in a way that doesn't make your team or external consumers angry. We talk about the HTTP Sunset Header and the potential HTTP Deprecation Header and how those can make the process of knowing when APIs are being deprecated a lot smoother. We also looked at a few popular JS libraries and discuss how they deprecated themselves.

Phil, Mike and Matt sit down to talk about Parler and why their APIs were so great for hacktivists who wanted to make sure that the data was never lost. We talk about degraded services and circuit breakers, two big things that probably could have kept the data from being exposed as well as stripping files of EXIF data from uploaded images. We also venture into the topic of what is the role of service providers and social media going forward.

A quick note before we get started: We recorded this episode back in April of 2020 when everyone was quarantining and making bread to post on instagram. Fast forward to now, in June, American cities, and cities around the world are joining in, protesting the systemic racism that has long been an issue in our societies. While our energy and focus turned to current events, editing this episode took a seat on the backburner. That said, we have it ready… but it couldn’t be released at a worse time. Three white dudes talking about APIs while our friends in other communities are fighting injustices that have long kept them down seems to be a bit tone deaf, and we know that, recognize that and commit ourselves to being involved. There are a lot of conversations we want to have around this topic both in the API world, and outside of it. We don’t want this episode to take away from the discussions going on around such important and heavy topics, but we hope this can serve as a way for you to take a break while you travel to and from a protest. If you are going to protest please be safe, drink as much water as you can to stay hydrated in the heat and know that things are changing for the better. To all the Black API developers out there: we see you, we're fighting with you, and we want you to know that we're listening.  From all of us at APIs You Won't Hate: Black lives matter.Recorded back in April, Matt and Phil are joined by Marc-Andre Giroux to talk about the APIs he works on at Github and his fascination of GraphQL. Marc-Andre recently released a book titled "Production Ready GraphQL" where he talks about schema design, tooling, architecture and more. We take a dive into knowing when GraphQL is the right tool for the job, versus when to use REST and talk a little about the whole quarantine thing that was happening.Sponsors:Stoplight makes it possible for us to bring you this podcast while we nerd out about APIs.

Phil and Matt, both in a loose definition of isolation, find time to talk to Arnaud Lauret (https://twitter.com/apihandyman) and talk about API Design and Review. We discuss why you should spend time designing and reviewing your API and the process of reviewing API Designs before the code is written. We also ask Arnaud what he looks for while reviewing, the tools he uses to review API design docs and then Phil starts dreaming up what the ideal API Review tooling looks like. We also talk about life in quarantine, as France completely shut down and how Phil made it back in time to England before the lock downs took place.
