Using Postman to Explore the Triathlon API
I’m taking time to showcase any API I come across who have published their OpenAPI definitions to GitHub like New York Times, Box, Stripe, SendGrid, Nexmo, and others have. I’m also taking the time to publish stories showcasing any API provider who similarly publishes Postman Collections as part of their API documentation. Next up on my list is the Triathlon API, who provides a pretty sophisticated API stack for managing triathlons around the world, complete with a list of Postman Collections for exploring and getting up and running with their API.
Much like Okta, which I wrote about last week, the Triathlon API has broken their Postman Collections into individual service collections and provides a nice list of them for easy access. Making it quick and easy to get up and running making calls to the API. Something that ALL API providers should be doing. Sorry, but Postman Collections should be a default part of your API documentation, just like an OpenAPI definition should the driver of your interactive API docs, and the rest of your API lifecycle. https://goo.gl/nmwkm2 #DataIntegration #ML
