Ask HN: Which APIs do you dislike? Why?

- The Elasticsearch DSL is obscure on good days and makes absolutely no sense on others.

- Matplotlib - both the object-oriented api and pyplot - I need to look up the same things over and over again

- More generally - any Python/R function that has only (args, kwargs) or (...) as parameters in its documentation

The Atlassian apis. They are prone to making breaking changes or just removing some endpoints altogether. Disappointing when you are relying on their api being stable to do part of your work.

don't like

vulkan,

rapidjson,

libgit2,

for the first 2, they are too verbose.

for the last, I have trouble translating git command into api calls. They don't seem to match well.
