In a perfect world the integration between a web API and a deployed application works without any issues. In reality, however, API related problems happen and may have a large impact on the user and business. Although there are numerous API best practices guides out there, these seem insufficient to prevent API problems. There is no knowledge about what errors occur in practice and why these errors happen. Can we prevent certain problems from ever occurring? If not preventable, can the process of error handling be improved? And can we effectively detect problems as they happen to limit their impact?

We are looking to provide advice for API designers on how they can help API consumers prevent, detect and handle problems, and advice for API consumers on how to improve their integration.

Your experience with web APIs is of invaluable help to our research. Please consider taking our survey on API integration: https://www.surveygizmo.com/s3/3708659/4963a5d97d3e
