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.

Should endpoints be named after the action, like /getThing /updateThing or after the resource with different HTTP verbs, like GET /things POST /things? What are the reasons to go with one or the other? Async operations with REST APIs - how do you do it? long callbacks, short callbacks polling pubsub What's the point of a Webhook?

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 Meshes Links: Hunter on Twitter API Gateway App 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 ar...
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. Sponsors: Stoplight makes it possible for us to bring ...
Harsha Reddy, a Senior Software Engineer on Internal API Platforms for Wayfair, joins Matt and Phil to talk about what its like to build tools for developers that use a myriad of languages from PHP to C# to Python and some Java thrown in for a good time.

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. ...
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 ...
Phil, Mike and Matt talk about Matt's adventures with APIs returning 200 OK while having an error message in the body, causing extra work and frustration. We look at why this is a common thing in API development and what we can do to help people utilize the codes that are there instead of relying on 200 OK. Mike brings up Microsoft and what they are doing with their push to not only go Carbon Neutral but also Carbon Negative to make up for their past. We wonder what that will look like, and also...
