I’m doing interviews for companies that would involve API integrations. I’ve done a couple now where I was given some general API information (some intentionally unclear, some more clear) and I felt I didn’t do well. Mainly I was nervous, and felt very pressured just to understand how the different parts of the APIs interact with each other and should be interacted with. This is despite doing this for work and myself not feeling as nervous doing more common coding tests which I don’t do as much at work(thanks to doing examples on hackerrank, Leetcode helping me feel more comfortable).
So what are the resources I should leverage to practice API integrations? How should I go about practicing? Especially considering that I do need to perform in a certain way during interviews.
Any suggestions good APIs to interact with? What do you mean by Ebtitiea doc? the documentation for the API is what I assume you meant to refer to? yeah swagger is a great recommendation of something I need to get more familiar with.
You can try this list: https://github.com/public-apis/public-apis?tab=readme-ov-file
You can even use multiple APIs in a single app if the APIs you want to use are too simple(or for any other reason).
Sorry that was a typo. I meant to write ‘entities’ as in api entities which are crucial to describe the structure of the requests and responses.
Thanks I’ll check it out!
