I was helping out a friend who needed to integrate housing availability from a property management system with his client’s website. Luckily, the property management system had an API. Unfortunately, everything about it was wrong.

The goal of this story is not to give a bad advertisement for a used system, but to share how things should NOT be developed, as well as learn the right approaches when it comes to designing APIs.
