To test the functionality of the api, you can use the following login credentials to be authorized: email: steppaapitestuser@gmail.com password: testuser
To use the API, all the endpoints are available on the API documentation page. You can access the API documentation by navigating to https://steppa-expense-api.vercel.app/api/v1/#/ in your browser. The API documentation provides a list of all the endpoints available and the required parameters for each endpoint.
I encourage frontend developers who have built expense tracker projects to use the API and provide feedback on how it can be improved.
