API integration can be complex. Developers often face challenges such as:
- Complex API documentation: Difficulty understanding and navigating technical documentation.
- Time-consuming setup: Spending excessive time setting up test environments.
- Delayed access to real data: Waiting for access to production data, hindering integration progress.
- Unpredictable API behaviour: Dealing with inconsistent or changing API responses.
