I have the opposite experience working on the front end team. I get delivered API’s that are done. Then when I start calling them I get errors. Turns out done for them means they made a basic REST interface, but the API just returns mock data.

Now my boss is happy that I’ve demoed API integration, but every next meeting he asks me why nothing has changed. It’s because I’m still waiting for something that is done.

For some reason the fact that it’s not done is always the fault of the front end team. I’d love to get an actually finished API for once...
