I had it with an ecommerce API, when I couldn't understand how an API function never returned anything

It turned out they had never implemented the function because they never thought anyone would use, and the function was just a stub

This one though was documented, with examples so I foolishly expected it to work

That just highlights the futility of technical documentation.

TBH I wrote an API a few months ago based on a requirement doc written by another person. I could not see the point of one of the methods, so it's just a stub. No complaints yet

These functions are deprecated. In order to maintain backwards compatibility with older code, these functions continue to be supported. However, new applications should avoid the use of these functions. To help encourage people to avoid using these functions, we are not going to tell you what they do.
