I am writing to report that the current live database appears to have been heavily polluted by spam entries. It seems several users (or automated scripts) have created a large volume of "junk" products and categories that are cluttering the API responses and making it difficult to test real-world scenarios.
Observed Issues:
- Nonsensical Data: Many products contain "test" strings, random characters, or inappropriate content in the titles and descriptions.
- Broken Images: A high percentage of new entries use invalid or "placeholder" URLs that do not resolve.
- Duplicate Entries: Large clusters of identical items are being returned in the
/products endpoint.
Impact:
This pollution is affecting the developer experience for those using the API for tutorials, frontend demos, and portfolio projects, as the UI often breaks when attempting to render this "junk" data.
Suggested Action:
If possible, could the team perform a manual cleanup of the recent spam entries or trigger a database reset to the original seed data?
Thank you for maintaining this excellent resource!
