Design & Test

First design a private API at https://critique-labs.ai/design:

  • Provide an initial prompt to design the API (a chat-like interface will be available soon)
  • Review the API inputs and make sure they make sense for the API you want to create
  • Check the generated endpoint stub (i.e., /my-cool-api) and make sure it looks right. Note that sometimes a unique identifier is added to the end of the stub (i.e., /my-cool-api/af4922). This is fine and expected.
  • IMPORTANT: Check the configuration instructions and make sure you cover all the cases you want to support as well as the cases you don’t want to support
  • MOST IMPORTANT: Test the API to ensure it works as expected. If you don’t like the output, you can edit the configuration instructions and test again.
