The prompts
Prompt 1
I want you to act as an API integration expert. Your task is to generate five different realistic scenarios where integrating an API from the [API domain] domain would significantly improve an existing [Application type] application. For each scenario, detail the current limitations of the [Application type] application, explain how the integration of the [API domain] API solves these limitations, and describe the specific benefits gained from this integration. Ensure that each scenario is unique and relevant to common real-world use cases. The [Application type] is currently facing challenges like [Challenge 1], [Challenge 2], and [Challenge 3].
Prompt 2
Develop five use cases detailing how to integrate a hypothetical API providing real-time [Data Type] data into a [System Type] system. For each use case, specify the API endpoints required, the expected data format (e.g., JSON, XML), and the actions the [System Type] system will perform based on the received data. Explain how the API integration will enhance the [System Type] system's capabilities, improve decision-making, and automate processes. Consider factors like data security, error handling, and scalability. The hypothetical API should provide robust error reporting via HTTP codes and JSON structured errors.
