@@TerjeMathisen feel you. The reason I handle REST manually. My coworkers use generated classes for their APIs but it would literaly explode with this special API. The third party just don't care for any convention..
Your data won't even deserialize! :) I remember one guy who built JSON response by concating string like "{\"username\":" + str(user) + "... Of course, you can guess what happens when some variable contains quotation mark etc. It was truly hilarious.
I can't help but to wonder if there was a service in mind when this parody was created. I know I can think of a couple of vendor's services that deserve a dedication of this song
This video is so cathartic! I'm dealing with an API that does all the wrong things (AlphaESS battery control). Despite it's utter insane / nonsensical behaviour, its payloads do deserialise :D We have come a long way on that front thanks to all the libre / open source libraries ...rarely would an underpaid, rushed dev write their own [json | xml | ...] parser. Thank god for that.
I first saw this when I had to do API testing in SQL to to verify if the issue was a front end UI issue or the Stored Procedures issue. lol This was funny!
When I resign from my current (wonderful) job I am going to email a link to this to a certain service provider we use (not wonderful). It's as though you wrote if just for them. Love it.

Broken methods missing docs update fails on every failing POST request. -- could be updated to something like this in case of some APi's that exist today.
Can't get on Spotify without a record deal or a distributor/aggregator agreement - there's no way for individuals to share their own music directly. I'm working on it but don't hold your breath :)

We have to deal with a program that is absolutely ABYSMAL. There’s a client that then talks to a server which acts as a compatibility layer because the client is very old and higher IT refuses to replace it and then that layer talks to the server. The only problem is the compatibility layer is SUPER finicky with HTTP response codes, and it has to have a 0 before the code or it interprets it as a 500. It’s a nightmare, because it then logs the code it interprets and not the one it receives. So HTTP 200 is logged as HTTP 500, but HTTP 0200 is logged as the correct code (HTTP 200). We had to implement a custom web server that gives 4 digit response codes because of this. If it tries to talk to something outside of our servers, getting it to work is an absolute nightmare.
Oh, and in case you’re wondering what web server uses 4 digit response codes, none do. It was a bug in the layer and by the time we figured out what was happening the guy that made it had quit
Hey mate, this song is fantastic! Could I contact you somewhere directly please? I would like your written permission to use part of this song in my podcast. Also, if you would be interested, it would be fab to have you as a guest on our show? Cheers

That "you promised me JSON, then sent XML" line is epic!
anyone who has worked with a 3rd party API can relate

9 people still work with SOAP APIs
hahahahhah
this comment does not update, please update it to v26
i hate soap
Now v42
soap has it purposes. Thrust me. Used well its good but its no replace for REST APIs.
I just can't understand how anyone could dislike this video
Wrong API call
As the only coder in my family I can categorically say that they would ALL hate it unconditionally 🤣🤣🤣🤣
They felt it as a personal attack :)
These are the accidental viewers who are not programmers and do not get it.

It's the SharePoint API. It's got to be.
Please keep these coming, they're gold and my team loves them!
I sent this to a software engineer having a hard day with network development, he laughed for the first time in a month and a half

Golden.
Deserves much more views than it has right now
7 people know their APIs are in the hall of shame
Such great :D Listening to the song in an endless loop while integrating whatever that should be - yes exactly....
This song made my day! Reminds me of too many projects..
This hits the feels way more than the original. 🤘🤘🤘
I can not wait your next song: It's my api.
Wanted 400 or 200
AngusYoung84 its 404 but whatevs
I just wanna serve when I'm alive!

Saw this at NDC London last night and couldn't stop laughing! Amazing job mate.
I truly love this song so much 😂
I just now realised that there even was an original… I didn't realise this was based on a Bon Jovi song…
Hello from CodeFest 2018. it was a nice live show at bar. Thank you for cool songs!
I've listened to several web development songs in the last few minutes, this one is excellent ^^
Some band played the Bon Jovi version in the pub I was in last night and all I could hear in my head was this version 😂
I'm rebuilding my API. This serves as a guide of "What not to do."
Same
This is the greatest thing I have ever seen.
Это шедеврально!
This is too good Bon Jovi should listen to this
Oh my god this is soooo good xD! Let me know if you need a drummer someday... 😄
Story of my current project LOL This is pure gold. I can't stop laughing and crying tbh
This is abolutely awesome and really made me laught, thank you so much for this, the lyrics are pure gold xD
This made me 'api.
I logged on UA-cam just to like and subscribe to this Gold channel.
I'll just drop this song on a chat group that we have with a third part integration...
I might need to steal this for my next code review.
How come the dark waters of UA-cam's auto-play hadn't brought me sooner to this bug-free channel! :)
...Hello help-desk my old friend,
I've come to talk with you again...
Thanks for putting this out there. Great work!
Still listening in 2023
This is pure gold
Fantastic job and production.
I feel like this is how MediaWiki API works
i think i gonna cry
This is better than I'd expected.😂
😂😂😂 гениально) спасибо за хорошее настроение
I wish I can like it a 1000 times :D
This is way too good!
I’m looking at YOU, boardGameGeek API
this is so niche and I love it
This is awesome! It's what devs like me have to put up with.
Those who dislike this video are the backend programmers who returns errors with 200 OK and writes only POST method to all endpoints.
Greetings from Brazil, very, very, real very funny, lol
The FIS API is exactly like this!
interesting that in the original audio by Bon Jovi.. there is the word "sublime"
What a gem
I want to be in your team 😂, fucking genius
PlayStation Store 'Buy now" returns "200 OK" even if it errors
Broken methods missing docs update fails on every failing POST request. -- could be updated to something like this in case of some APi's that exist today.
You made my day. God bless you.
I know a business who developed a api only using GET method for every CRUD action.
I dont know nothing about programing but it sounds kinda cool
this reminds me of the wunderground API =)
let's make this the anthem for rest apis
This song is 200 OK 👌
This fucking made my day!
43 people do delete with a post call
That is so true, unfortunately...
Imagine if this works on rockstar
This is possible the best frond of today. 😂😂 Nice work... 👏👏
This song could be about jenkins API...
Wins the internet.
So nerdy! Love it
Ο εντερπενερ με εφερε εδώ
So good and relatable!
Pure awesomeness
even to these days, there are so many developer sent response code 200 for error lol
In my machine works...
then we will deliver your machine
Then born Docker rsrs
