I showcased Stripe’s OpenAPI definition the other week, so I wanted to also highlight a side effect of Stripe deciding to be OpenAPI-Driven. Stripe recently published an OpenAPI-powered mock server, allowing Stripe API consumers to test drive, and play with the Stripe API in a simulated environment. “It operates statelessly (i.e. it won’t remember new resources that are created with it) and responds with sample data that’s generated using a similar scheme to the one found in the API reference.”
The Stripe Mock Server is written in Go, and is available on Github. You can rebuild the Stripe API mock server from an updated OpenAPI anytime. It is a pretty dead simple mock server that seems like should be standard practice for any API. Providing a simple, safe, and portable way to play with an API. I’m going to fork the Stripe Mock API and play with it, see what is possible with the tool. https://goo.gl/UWsrxc #DataIntegration #ML
