THE UTILITY

born from necessity

fast CI builds
Calling live services is slow

avoid breaking TOS
Getting blocked for too many requests is annoying and potentially expensive (monetarily)

clarity
canned responses means anyone can see what a response SHOULD look like [w/o docs]

avoiding stale data
unreliable APIs mean that the service response could change any time without notification
