Regarding APIs, what is a recommend good and free tool, other than Postman, that allows for importing and exporting of saved collections?
Tangentially, what APIs do you guys actually pay for? (Personally or through work)
Not having a free public API for this site is a bit of a joke.
An API for polling data would be cool, one can dream
Paraphrasing a known saying, "there's no API, it's just someone else's computer". I wish programmers would internalize this. They often seem to take APIs uncritically, not questioning whose resources they're using and where does the data come from as well as its quality beyond obvious cases. APIs are leaky abstractions as all abstractions are.
Not all abstractions are leaky. Not at all.
Earlier quoted context omitted.
