Definitely, and you can often see why an API is "poorly documented". It takes more effort to document something well that to design it well, and as a developer you often need to take into account things that are very hard to document (performance, scaling) anyway.

What I like the most is when I can get quickly started with a starter project and easy test tokens. This often means that it will also be easy to set up tests and catch edge cases later on.
