What APIs left an impression on you and why? Were they particularly well-designed, intuitive, or well-supported?

What designs or features of this API would you like to see be more common in APIs being built or refactored?

    It's been a couple of years but I enjoyed that part of Postmarkapp's onboard included "and now do an API request". Not sure if they wanted to make sure that I'm technical able to do it or show off how easy it is.

    Browser APIs are actually pretty great. From good old DOM API like querySelector to BroadcastChannel and even navigator.locks - all super useful and there’s more…
