APIs You Won't Hate Sunsetting your APIPhil, Mike, and Matt get together for a discussion about how to safely sunset an API endpoint with the end goal being deprecation.

We talk about the HTTP Sunset Header and the potential HTTP Deprecation Header and how those can make the process of knowing when APIs are being deprecated a lot smoother. We also looked...

APIs You Won't Hate Secure your APIs or why so much data was available from Parler.Phil, Mike and Matt sit down to talk about Parler and why their APIs were so great for hacktivists who wanted to make sure that the data was never lost.

We also venture into the topic of what is the role of service providers and social media going forward. Sponsors:Stoplight makes it possible for us to bring you this podcast while we nerd...
