I cant comprehend what an API is

This page summarizes the projects mentioned and recommended in the original post on /r/learnprogramming

Our great sponsors
  • InfluxDB - Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale
  • WorkOS - The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS
  • SaaSHub - Software Alternatives and Reviews
  • API Platform

    Create REST and GraphQL APIs, scaffold Jamstack webapps, stream changes in real-time.

  • I don't know what is the stack that you'd like to use, but, in my case, reading the docs and using API platform, helped me tremendously.

  • Newman

    Newman is a command-line collection runner for Postman

  • I also recommend getting https://www.postman.com/ which is the best tool for testing APIs and making HTTP calls without actually having to program anything. It's absolutely amazing for exploring APIs other people offer and debugging and testing your own APIs too.

  • InfluxDB

    Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.

  • public-apis

    A collective list of free APIs

  • If you want to find some APIs to play around with, there is a bunch of databases. I like this github list though: https://github.com/public-apis/public-apis fairly simple and I stumbled over some fun stuff to play around with.

  • api_sample

  • Here you go: https://github.com/Guideon72/api_sample
