“And apparently domino's.com hadn't changed any of their order pizza endpoints in like 10 years.”
“And what's funny is literally the night before we launched the printing press, Domino's changed their APIs.”
“But now you can order pizza within the printing press.”
What’s in it
- How community-built API wrappers signal what users actually want to automate
- A Domino's Pizza-ordering Python library reverse-engineered a decade-old endpoint
- Domino's broke their API the night before launch, forcing a reprint

secret APIs and building off of them. So, like we found this really cool project um it was a Python library for Domino's Pizza ordering. And apparently domino's.com hadn't changed any of their order pizza endpoints in like 10 years. And this someone built a Python a pre LLM Python a a library to order by a Python script Domino's Pizza and it had I don't know I I don't know the numbers but couple hundred stars. So, it's not like a major project but but it worked and it was really cool. And so we're able to learn from all the community projects which gives signal of what people want to do but it also gives signal of where the APIs exist. And what's funny is literally the night before we launched the printing press, Domino's changed their APIs. Literally the night before, Trevor tried to order a pizza. He's like, "It's not working." And so he reprinted it and we shipped it and they changed it for the first time in 10 years the night before launch. But now you can order pizza within the printing press.
