>That would be a useless site

looks like it is a demo of the API for people wanting to consume it. knowing what the payload looks like is not useless at all in this case.




Documenting requests' format and their return values is documentation and doesn't require an interactive site that looks totally real and makes you expect a real (rather than a dummy) answer. Which is not to say it's impossible, but it would be weird/unlikely. Usually when there is an example api request in documentation, it's a real (live) request, too, and this isn't even a documentation page.
