  Heroku Buildpack for Elixir with nitro boost

• public-apis

  100 258,297 0.0 Python

  A collective list of free APIs

  

  For this app, we'll use the public API of Coindesk to query the price of Bitcoin today. If you'd rather prefer to use a different API, you can find a list of public ones on this Github repo. The data that we're getting is really not that important for the purpose of this exercise.

• tesla

  1 1,889 7.3 Elixir

  The flexible HTTP client library for Elixir, with support for middleware and multiple adapters.

  

  To integrate the API via Elixir let's use the HTTP wrapper Tesla. There are many good options out there, such as the good old Httpoison. However, Tesla has some added benefits. I won't go into details as it's not the purpose of this article, but it's worth checking out.

• cowboy

  2 2,690 0.0 Elixir

  Compose web applications with functions

  

  If you're not familiar with it, feel free to check the inner workings of Plug in their documentation. For now, the code above is fairly self-explanatory I hope. All we need to know is that we're using the Plug.Router capabilities and exposing an endpoint /bpi which we're going to use to retrieve our data and to show it.

  Helps use multiple accounts on Heroku.
