A thread 🧵 of _terrible_ design decisions for the internal APIs of the two Italian high speed train operators, Italo and Trenitalia. Hardcoded passwords, terrible translations, spelling mistakes, xml in json (but utf8 encoded and transmitted as an array of numbers), it's all here. Enjoy!

can’t wait to share the fun with my colleagues at raileurope tomorrow morning 😅☕️

Oh I wanna talk to y'all at some point - I use RailEurope all the time :) Are you all interested in surfacing real time data if it was more easially acessible?
