NOMINATIONS

To make a nomination please submit a PR including .md file in /INDUCTEES with the following:

  • An example request / response
  • A writeup explaining why the API design in question is so AMAZING.

Nomination will be evaluated by a committee of one and accepted if deemed acceptable.

GUIDELINES

  • Remove all API keys, PII and other sensitive data from your request/response examples!
  • These must be API's that are either "public" or accessible via license to software (EG: they are meant to be integrated with external systems; no "internal only / mom & pop / BFFE" API's).
  • We are only evaluating on the API DESIGN. API reliablity, uptime, one-off bugs, etc are too hard to quanitify.
  • This is about celebrating the "Best of the Worst". Your nomination should highlight the amazingness of the API. No "personal" attacks or name calling.
