The new API (application programming interface) allows users—in most cases—to merely check a box to pass the challenge of proving they’re flesh and blood. And infinitely more websites are adopting the new API, so if you haven’t encountered it so far chances are you will soon. The post Being Human: Google’s New API Solves an Internet Annoyance appeared first on Byte Technology’s Non-Profit Web Design Insights Blog.

In any DevOps discussion, API should be there as they allow the development team to separate the large applications into smaller and faster ones who build a specific functionality. API tests at the interface level to make sure that component behaves properly. API allows the channel to develop the occurrence of microservices and also allow the exposure of the functionality throughout the channels. The API with micro services are considered to be better.

If you’re evaluating a company for how well-documented their product is, the best bet is to look at their API documentation. It should look like this: https://developers.google.com/analytics/devguides/reporting/core/v3/reference or like this, https://dev.twitter.com/docs/api. It’s as if the people on the other side actually want you to adopt their API and add copious notes and don’t saddle you with a goofy interface.

Part Va:APIs October 17, 2006 One of the best parts of Web 2.0 for geeks is APIs. Like the freedom that RSS gives to end users in terms of getting the data that you want in your hands, to read when and how you want it, APIs give programmers (and, at times, end users) the freedom to get data from Web 2.0 One of the best examples of the use of APIs are Google Map mashups. Folks at NTEN have been thinking about APIs , and will host a discussion about them on Friday.

Let’s start at the beginning: What is Social Actions and where does the API come in? They were talking about API’s.

APIs to the Rescue. The good news is, there is a widely-available technology available to help bridge the gaps: the Application Programming Interface, or API. An API allows you to interact with and “hook into” any piece of software that makes such an interface available. An increasing number of software tools and systems are offering and supporting APIs. Eventbrite and TicketLeap have APIs for managing your events and attendees.

In part one of my series on APIs for nonprofits, I introduced the concept of Application Programming Interfaces, or APIs. A web API - also sometimes called a “web service,” or “REST API” — uses the same URLs and HTTP requests your web browser does to exchange data and keep separate systems synchronized with each other. These are the formats that almost all web APIs make their data and responses available in.

So we just wrote a program here that really shows off the bang for the buck you get when applications provide you with an API. Another aspect of our little plug-in project we've been thinking about is how our API allows it to access the Members Only database without it's having any direct access to the database or knowledge of its structure.

This should be a pretty interesting live audio debate about the state of APIs. ??? The speakers will also give their opinions on why openness matters and what open APIs mean for the open source movement. While I wouldn't know an API from Ape if it stood right in front of me beat its chest, however, I have seen the results of open APIs in social media apps like Flickr. via an email and blog post from NTEN.
