    Excellent article with super high quality tips! I really like the simple and concise definitions for using proper HTTP response codes and methods. This is one of the most painful parts of working with a poorly designed API. When the API returns 200 but has an error.

      Hey @danpastori, thank you for your kind words. I totally agree. Stripe's API, for example, is so clean and concise although payments are such a complex topic. That's how it should be done. 💯
