Algorithms & APIs

Return to API Evangelist. This is a research project to look at the relationship between algorithms and APIs. In addition to data and content, APIs are increasingly providing access to a wide variety of algorithms. You can find news I've curated, organizations doing interesting things, some of the common building blocks I've identified, and open source tooling I've aggregated here in this research projects Github repository. JavaScript Algorithm Visualization Library. Can Algorithms Predict House Fires.

Return to API Evangelist. Adding Google To List Of API Deployment Companies. I was taking another look at the Google Cloud Platform. Yesterday, and stumbled across Google Cloud Endpoints. I think Google describes their service better than I can do it justice:. While much of the Google Cloud Platform offering looks a lot like the cloud offering over at Amazon Web Services, AWS definitely does not have API deployment as a service, baked into their cloud stack, like Google does with Google Cloud Endpoints.

Return to API Evangelist. Investing In Your API Community Like Amazon And Slack. The messaging platform Slack made waves when they launched. As part of their API release, putting up $80M to invest in developers who were interested in building cool things on the API. Slack has continued telling their story. Talking about how they have invested some of the fund and are being pretty transparent about which API integrations made the cut. To encourage development with Cisco Spark. See The Full Blog Post.

What is an API? An API - Application Programming Interface - at its most basic level, allows your product or service to talk to other products or services. In this way, an API allows you to open up data and functionality to other developers and to other businesses. It is increasingly the way in which companies exchange data and services, both internally and externally. What are APIs used for? Why do you need an API? History of modern web APIs. What technology goes into an API? APIs are driven by a set of...

Return to API Evangelist. API Providers and Consumers Keeping In Touch Is How You Can Set The Right Tone For An API Community. And a little thing about release notes. Both of which reflect what I would love to see other API providers emulate in their platform operations. Slack is going the extra mile to set the right tone in their community, with what I consider to be some of the essential communication building blocks of API operations, but they simply call "keep in touch". This is all API, all the time.

Return to API Evangelist. Serverless Approaches To Deploying Code Will Help Unwind Some Of The Technical Debt We Have. I am sure there is some equation we could come up to describe the amount of ideology and / or dogma present alongside each bit and byte of code. Something that exponentially increases with each additional line of code or MB on disk. An example of this in action, in the wilds of the API space, is the difference between an SDK for an API, and just a single sample API call. It look like dur...

API Evangelist Network
http://apievangelist.com/network
API Evangelist is a network of research projects. The website began in July of 2010 as a side research project, and in 2014 not much has changed. I've just gotten more organized about how I manage my research, in real-time using over 100 Github repositories. You can see a complete list of my projects here, but this list is specific to what I do as the API Evangelist. Terms of Services (TOS). Specifically with API Definitions. Some Trends I Am Keeping An Eye On. Internet of Things (IoT). Or feel free to m...
