Take-Home API

A ready-made, well-designed REST API mimicking many real-world scenarios. Each scenario models a realistic business domain — airline booking, e-commerce, food delivery, and more — fully implemented and served out of the box. No backend to design, no server to write. Just a real API with a friendly, well-documented flow, ready to run.

​

Why Take-Home API?

Most coding challenge and system design tools ask you to build a backend from scratch. This one flips that: the API already exists, fully working, and you learn by using it. That’s a closer match to real engineering work — consuming an API you didn’t design, understanding its data model, and building something on top of it.

​

What You Can Do

1. Build a frontend against a well-modeled, realistic API
2. Learn how a REST API works by following real use-case flows
3. Write integration tests against a live, realistic target
4. Take home assessments — explore the API and see how you’d use it
5. AI agent integration — use the provided MCP server for your AI workflows

​

Scenarios

Each scenario is a self-contained API namespace, versioned by the complexity and breadth of features:

• v1 → core happy path
• v2 → expanded use cases, authentication, and more endpoints

Start with v1 to learn the basics, then move to v2 to explore more complex flows and authentication patterns.
