4. Node.js Getting Started Heroku

In my experience Heroku is by far the simplest, it doesn’t involve Kubernetes or containers, and they have an accessible tutorial for node https://devcenter.heroku.com/articles/getting-started-with-nodejs. I’d recommend following it if you’re curious. You don’t even have to SSH into the VM and instal things, you just have to push to git and it will deploy for you.

In this tutorial, I’m going to use Heroku. Here’s a guide on how to create and initialize a Heroku App to your NodeJS project.

For inspirations on what type of agents I should build, I turned to the Public APIs GitHub repository which has a curated lists of free APIs. I narrowed my search for an API that does not require sign-up or an API key and returns useful information. I ultimately decided to use the Free Currency Exchange Rates API, which seemed promising upon some basic testing.

Public-Apis Github Repo — A list of free public APIs.

Interesting thread at https://github.com/public-apis/public-apis/issues/3104

Use curl to access a free public API and get a random joke, cat fact, or whatever.

I remember the forking of https://github.com/public-apis/public-apis and the long git issue discussions. The company owning the repository stopped maintaining it but didn't give up control either. Over the years you've put in a lot of work in publicapis.dev and that is much appreciated.

Also, that isn't really a list of "contributors", but of "organisations with the most stars". Those are different things.

For example "public-apis"[1] didn't "contribute" anything as that's not a person, and looking at GitHub[2] there are a bunch of substantial contributors (the person who created the organisation/repo only has 12 commits by the way);
