API documentation and usability is so severely lacking, even in products you would expect to deliver something excellent. I work for an ISP, and we've recently acquired industry standard software for things like DDI/IPAM and so on. The software, annual licensing and so on for some of these products is 5 to 6 figures, yet the API(s) are a mixture of ambiguous REST, undocumented SOAP and a day-to-day nightmare.
The only breath of fresh air I've had lately is interacting with the NetBox API which uses Swagger to sort of self-document and allow for testing.
