Your Feedback Matters


June 19, 2023

We are happy to announce that we are distributing free API keys for ODA API. This opportunity allows you, the developer, to directly influence the direction of ODA API. We hope to achieve the following objectives with this effort:

Identify bugs

All software contains bugs, but we strive to eliminate as many as we can via rigorous testing and software updates. Nevertheless, there will be special cases that are not considered during the development process. With your help by using the API, we can more thoroughly account for a higher percentage of boundary cases that we could not account for otherwise, and we thank you in advance for that!

Assess User Experience

ODA API provides a simple, straight-forward developer interface; however, as we grow we need your feedback to ensure we are building the features you want and need! Our aim is to be very opinionated about whether a software change fits with our goal of simplicity. So, while your improvement or feature may not be implemented exactly as described, we will take steps to ensure that core shortcomings of the API are addressed; and those shortcomings will be identified through your feedback and ideas.

Address Documentation Issues

Our API is only as usable as its documentation is comprehensible. Are there areas of the documentation that you think could be improved? Need more examples? Other ideas? We would love to get your feedback on this area of our service.
