Dev Center and API Explorer updates 5/18

We've made some changes to API Explorer based on feedback we've received since the launch of the site. Here's an overview of those changes. Please join in the comments below and let me know your thoughts!

HTTP Verb filter

There are now checkboxes under the resource filter text box in API Explorer views that will filter the displayed operations for the selected verbs. The filter has also been enabled on API resource listings throughout the site.

Consolidated layout

In an effort to make the layout less busy, the number of collapsible sections has been reduced from 8 to 3. Various items within each section were tweaked in both reading and editor mode to display information more concisely.

Auto-clearing notifications

Some notifications will now auto-clear after a period of time. A progress bar at the bottom of the notification ominously races towards its own self-destruction. If you want to re-read any toast that's been dismissed, they're always logged in the browser's JavaScript console.

Browser storage disabled warning

Warning messages have been added when setting certain important settings in the app when the user has not opted in to allowing browser storage. These warnings will be shown for things like setting light or dark mode, starring pages, and starring API resources.

Remove buttons added to request editor

You can now remove anything you can add! Hover over an item and click the button with an X on it to remove the item.

Other items

  • Fixed pressing enter in the API resource filter reloading the page
  • HTTP and cURL invocations are now populated with all user-configured data
  • Improved error handling when parsing invalid JSON in the editor
  • Table pagination is disabled by default site-wide
  • Disabled form fills in the API Explorer editor
  • Disabled spell check in the JSON editor
  • Fixed boolean toggles
