API documentation is often wrong. I spent hours on a third-party service. The documentation looked simple. The code was different. The API response format had an error. I waited too long to check the output.
You should validate responses early. Do not trust documentation alone. Verify actual behavior.
Follow these steps:
- Test responses immediately.
- Ignore promises in the docs.
- Find edge cases early.
Save your time. Verify the API behavior first.
