#ICYDK: What APIs from the New York Times would benefit from layering event-driven architecture on top of them?

Each of the APIs we profile as part of the API Gallery™ has an OpenAPI definition created for it when we learn more about what they offer. This is what builds out the listing and detail pages for the gallery, allows us to better understand what each API offers, and help others discover the different APIs that exist across the landscape. Once we have an OpenAPI definition for an API, we load the definition into Postman and begin making calls to each API. When we come across an API that looks like it has a high potential for rapid change, we benchmark the API for a 24-48 hour period, and establish what we call a StreamRank™ for each individual API path. https://goo.gl/NKmKNR
