Start by acknowledging that while you may not recall exact endpoint paths, you understand the structure of edX's REST APIs and can describe common endpoints for courses, users, and enrollments. Then, provide three plausible endpoints, explaining their purpose and how they support product features. Finally, connect this to your product management approach by discussing how APIs enable integrations and data-driven decisions.
Pro tip: If you're unsure of exact endpoint paths, focus on the resource names and HTTP methods (e.g., GET /api/courses/v1/courses/) and explain how you would discover them using edX's API documentation or developer portal. This shows resourcefulness and technical fluency without bluffing.
Briefly state that edX exposes REST APIs for various resources like courses, users, and enrollments, and that endpoints follow a predictable pattern.
Provide three specific endpoints, such as GET /api/courses/v1/courses/ (list courses), GET /api/enrollment/v1/enrollment (get user enrollments), and GET /api/user/v1/accounts (list user accounts).
For each endpoint, describe what it does and how it might be used in a product context, e.g., fetching course catalogs for a mobile app or syncing enrollments with an LMS.
Discuss how understanding these endpoints helps in defining integration requirements, prioritizing features, and collaborating with engineering teams.
Mention that you would refer to edX's API documentation or use tools like Swagger to explore endpoints, demonstrating a methodical approach.
