API first or not

I've a global question about the steps to develop an app as I'm sorry, but I'm not a developper.
I'm working in a start up which wants to develop a web application.
We have a fullstack developper working with us on the development of the API at the moment.
We're now looking for working with a frontend team and an UX/UI team to help us as we have a short time to build the app.
We thought that the first step would be to create the different layouts so that the frontend dev team can start coding while our fullstack dev is coding the API.
But the frontend lead dev says that they can't start until they have the API finished with the documentation.
Is that exact ? What would be the best strategy ? API first ? Or front ? Or both at the same time ?
This is too general but no, you should definitely not wait to have the API finished to start with the front-end. Even less in the context of an Startup.
You want to have feedback from customers ASAP, it makes no sense to leave front-end to the last minute.
From the front-end side you might want to have your views decoupled from the data format on the API side, at least at the beginning. Of course you'll have some rework on the front-end once the APIs are finished but as a trade-off to that, you'll get something to show and feedback sooner.
I don't want to get too technical because you said you are not a developer, but you should try to convince your coworkers to find a way to work in the views and in the API at the same time, accepting some rework at the end.

Kimono Desktop Stopped Working?

Anyone having trouble building API's with the new Kimono Desktop app. When I click create API the browser just stays on create API screen loading but nothing happens.
I even tried building an API that is the same as one I built when Kimono was still in business and no luck.
My existing api's still run and pull data fine.
Working just fine here.
Just a shot in the blue...did you install the new extension specifically for the desktop app? The old one can't work anymore since Kimono disabled the online service.
You can't build new APIs I think - only existing ones. :( Said something like it was not the acquiring company's policy to provide this publiclu available service but since they did not know how many businesses depended on their APIs they decided to allow existing APis to run.
You can also use their software for replace the online API. But it's an abandonware.
It's working great but on some website I can create new API because of an error.
I just find a possible (free) product that can replace Kimono : Datascraping.co.
They will include an REST FULL API within few days / weeks, as they said here.
It's a good software, but comparing to Kimono Desktop it's a little much more complicated.
Kimono got bought out and it's not working anymore.
Import.io is good but it kinda expensive for me. I've tried the free trial before but see the price starts from $249, so... https://www.import.io/standard-plans/
I don't have any progamming skills so I know very little about some web scraping frameworks like Scrapy.
You may want to look at this new web scraping software called Octoparse.
In case you want to know, here is the link:http://www.octoparse.com/
It takes a little time to begin. But they have rich tutorials on the website. Plus it doesn't require programming skills.
They provide cloud-based scraping service and API access.
You can use it to create API but you have to pay for the service. Free version doesn't have the API and cloud service.
I've been using it for 2 month with the Standard plan $89, which a lot cheaper than import.io. So far so good.
Hope it would be helpful for you.

Status is disabled for my Netflix API Key / Application

I know just recently Netflix announced they are longer issue new public API developer keys however I got my key two months ago for a proof of concept project in development.
I just started working on implementing Netflix API data and noticed in my account / application info that the status is disabled.
Any calls I make to the API return a '403 Developer Inactive' response.
I just emailed publicapi[at]netflix.com to see if they can enable it but also thought I should see if anyone has any info here as Netflix has recommended 'developers to continue their conversations at StackOverflow with the tag “netflixapi”'.
Any information would be much appreciated!
Thanks!
They don't answer emails so save your time. They will not issue or reactivate existing keys.

API help commission junction

Im new to the realm of API and I was wondering do I need to paste the code as is or would I need to add javascript and interface to it myself? Im working with commission juntion datafeeds and developer key to make a website that is similar to www.directtextbooks.com
Below is the website link with the instructions that they provide
http://help.cj.com/en/web_services/Product_Catalog_Search_Service_v.2.htm
You can use the API to get data from cj, but the results of the data is for what ever you want to use it for.
Before you start working with API's you should look into programming applications.
