(as my friends tried to warn me over and over again) don’t even start development until they give you an example API call that works in Postman. NOT in Swagger - Swagger runs on the same machine! that’s not a test of an API’s availability. it has to run from Postman, or from local.

i wasted half a day (on a project with tight timelines) trying to troubleshoot a call to a new API that was being blocked somewhere in the request chain by a nginx rule. “but it works in Swagger!”
