Reminder to anyone on Reddit protesting the API bans: Don't use Reddit at all during the two days, lower user activity will show Reddit that everyone is willing to ditch if they don't stop.
I am planning to stop using it indefinitely till they give up on the update, and if they don't I'm deleting my account and all my data there (Shreddit is a good tool for that)

Modern software development be like: I wrote 10 lines of code to call an API that calls another API, which calls yet another API that finally turns on a lightbulb. Pray that Cloudflare or AWS will not be down during this operation; otherwise, there will be no light for you.

Uh guys, in case you aren't all caught up, the graphic novel that started as a little queer comic on Tumblr by ND Stevenson (creator of Shera: Princesses of Power) has been adapted by Netflix into an adorable movie about the contemporary genderqueer experience. Go watch Nimona. RIGHT NOW. (Also read the book!)
The movie also features an API gay couple. Ambrosius Goldenloin is an Asian American descendant of the revered knight, Gloreth, and he dyes his hair blonde to match hers and fit the white saviour image that the public expects from him. He is manipulated golden child of a conservative white woman trying to assert control over the kingdom. Ballister Boldheart is a darker-skinned (desi! muslim!) British Pakistani sweetheart who had to bootstrap his way to the top and still couldn't win model minority status with the head of the institute, and is framed for crimes he didn't commit and condemned by the state. The character designs are both modeled after their voice actors, Eugene Lee Yang and Riz Ahmed. Both actors have done extensive DEI work for the API LGBTQ+ community and visibility!

They are archenemies. They are lovers. They are husbands but also kind of divorced. They will find their way back to each other because they are simply victims of the same system, and they are just so soft for each other and what they want to protect. They are also Nimona's dads. They're slightly different from how they were in the book, but I'm so glad for the changes. And I'm so glad for what remained exactly the same as ND Stevenson envisioned years ago:

i finished shecodes week 5 homework, and now the app we're building has real-time temperature, as well as description of temperature, humidity and wind! you can search the city or you can get temperature of your current location!! this is really cool!
learning about api has being really exciting, so i made a simple page using meow-facts api where you click meow to get facts about cats, you can check the repository and the live page!
really excited to learn more about api!
ps: this sakura chocolate is the cutest thing! i almost didn't eat it 🥺

what i love about maws clois is that they actually made lois a tan skinned korean female character (like her voice actress’s—alice lee—skin complexion). it's important i think, because mainstream media always portray (monoracial) east asian characters as having fair skin.

It has been an age since I drew these two.
It's almost 7 am and I still haven't gone to bed, I took a nap earlier so... melatonin? I don't know her. But I drew something at least. However, I want to make more complex Toonocosm art, full scenes where composition and perspective and stuff were considered.

Tumblr media
As for as UI goes, this is a very lofi prototype of what I'm imagining
Tumblr media
if you see something in my code that makes you go "oh my god that is terrible practice pls never do that" feel more than free to point it out lol, I'd just be happy

Reddit and stuff-
So uh- I'm mostly just posting this along with other reblogs because I know that Tumblr has a bot problem.
Hi! I am a real person- I'm from reddit, and I'm very new to this site. Uh, I don't exactly know how this place works, but I think I've learned enough.

Application Programming Interface (API)
What is API?
API is the acronym for Application Programming Interface, which is a software intermediary that allows two applications to talk to each other. It is a way for computers to share data or functionality, but computers need some kind of interface to talk to each other.
When you use an application on your mobile phone, the application connects to the Internet and sends data to a server. The server then retrieves that data, interprets it, performs the necessary actions and sends it back to your phone. The application then interprets that data and presents you with the information you wanted in a readable way. This is what an API is - all of this happens via API.
Building Blocks of API
There are three building blocks of an API. These are:
dataset
requests
response
Let’s elaborate these blocks a bit.
An API needs a data source. In most cases, this will be a database like MySQL, MongoDB, or Redis, but it could also be something simpler like a text file or spreadsheet. The API’s data source can usually be updated through the API itself, but it might be updated independently if you want your API to be “read-only”.
An API needs a format for making requests. When a user wants to use an API, they make a “request”. This request usually includes a verb (eg: “GET”, “POST”, “PUT”, or “DELETE”), a path (this looks like a URL), and a payload (eg: form or JSON data). Good APIs offer rules for making these requests in their documentation.
An API needs to return a response. Once the API processes the request and gets or saves data to the data source, it should return a “response”. This response usually includes a status code (eg: “404 - Not Found”, “200 - Okay”, or “500 - Server Error”) and a payload (usually text or JSON data). This response format should also be specified in the documentation of the API so that developers know what to expect when they make a successful request.
Types of API
Open APIs - Also known as Public APIs. These APIs are publicly available and there are no restrictions to access them.
Partner APIs - These APIs are not publicly available, so you need specific rights or licenses to access them.
Internal APIs - Internal or private. These APIs are developed by companies to use in their internal systems. It helps you to enhance the productivity of your teams.
Composite APIs - This type of API combines different data and service APIs.
SOAP - It defines messages in XML format used by web aplications to comunicate with each other.
REST - It makes use of HTTP to GET, POST, PUT or DELETE data. It is basically used to take advantage of the existing data.
JSON-RPC - It uses JSON for data transfer and is a light-weight remote procedural call defining few data structure types.
XML-RPC - It is based on XML and uses HTTP for data transfer. This API is widely used to exchange information between two or more networks.
Features of API
It offers a valuable service (data, function, audience).
It helps you to planabusiness model.
Simple, flexible, quickly adopted.
Managed and measured.
Offers great developer support.
Examples of API
Razorpay API
Google Maps API
Spotify API
Twitter API
Weather API
PayPal API
PayTm API
HubSpot API
Youtube API
Amazon's API
Travel Booking API
Stock Chart API
API Testing Tools
Postman - Postman is a plugin in Google Chrome, and it can be used for testing API services. It is a powerful HTTP client to check web services. For manual or exploratory testing, Postman is a good choice for testing API.
Ping API - Ping API is API testing tool which allows us to write test script in JavaScript and CoffeeScript to test your APIs. It will enable inspecting the HTTP API call with a complete request and response data.
VREST - VREST API tool provides an online solution for automated testing, mocking, automatic recording and specification of REST/HTTP APIS/RESTful APIs.
When to create an API and when not to
Its very important to remember when to create and when not to create an API. Let’s start with when to create an API…
You want to build a mobile app or desktop app someday
You want to use modern front-end frameworks like React or Angular
You have a data-heavy website that you need to run quickly and load data without a complete refresh
You want to access the same data in many different places or ways (eg: an internal dashboard and a customer-facing web app)
You want to allow customers or partners limited or complete access to your data
You want to upsell your customers on direct API access
Now, when not to create an API…
You just need a landing page or blog as a website
Your application is temporary and not intended to grow or change much
You never intend on expanding to other platforms (eg: mobile, desktop)
You don’t understand the technical implications of building one.

Word of advice for newbies
Please don’t wait for people to spoon-feed you with every single resource and teachings because you’re on your own in your learning path. So be wise and learn yourself.
