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.

Postman's State of the API

• 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?
• "Working with Webhooks" Lorna Mitchell @ PHP Barcelona 2019 link

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.
