I came here to say this. I recently built a pretty tight integration between Trello and our app, and using the API was quite pleasant. The documentation isn't stellar (it has examples for requests, but not responses, s you need to use trial and error), but everything is standardized, so once you figure out the logic, you're golden.


I actually found Trello's API to be one of the worst most non-compliant restful API's I've seen. Nothing about it is restful with the extra actions they have on resources. It's hard to follow. The docs are sub-par too.


I interviewed with Trello and one part of my interview was building a super simple app in an hour using their API. As far as APIs go, and never having used Trello's API before, I found it to be fairly intuitive and documented well enough for me to skim quickly to needed information. I completed the task with time to spare, and only choked a bit on the authentication. If you don't like Trello's API, give the AWS API a shot!


I love Trello and have built a few things on their API but have to agree the API docs are painful, hard to navigate.

Also, what's up, homie? Hope you're well.


Dan? Hi! Hope you're well!


Care to contribute one you do find appealing?


I like stripe / twilio a great deal.
