Third-Party APIs tips

🤝

Not all APIs ship official TypeScript types. Paste a real response from Stripe, Twilio, GitHub, or any undocumented API and generate your own types.

💡

Test with several different responses from the same endpoint — different requests may return different optional fields. Union the types manually for completeness.

🔍

Third-party API schemas evolve. Save your generated interfaces in a dedicated types/ file and regenerate them when the API updates, then use git diff to spot changes.

📋

Once generated, annotate the interface with a comment showing the API endpoint and date — useful for knowing when the types were last validated against reality.
