You can make up API calls which you can say you'd implement later. As long as these are not tricky blocks, you'll be fine.

For Google, Facebook and Amazon, yes. At least last I interviewed there a few years ago. They're more interested in the data structure/algorithm
But I have also been to places that demand actual working code which is compiled and is tested against cases
Usually there the problem is simpler, so there's that
The worst ones i've had though had extra problems though:
one i was only told about when i joined the interview and that they would be watching live.
One where they wanted me streaming my face the whole time (maybe some people people are fine with that)
And one that would count it against me if i tabbed to another page. So no documentation because they assume i'm just googling it.
Still it's mostly on me to prepare and expect this stuff now.
