APIs are big business

Definition of an API - wikiIn computer programming, an application programming interface (API) is a set of subroutine definitions, protocols, and tools for building software and applications. A good API makes it easier to develop a program by providing all the building blocks, which are then put together by the programmer.

APIs explained with chocolate

GET apinf.io/chocolate?magic_word=please

What if you don’t like chocolate?

GET apinf.io/chocolate?magic_word=please

You get a Fazer chocolate thrown at you. Politeness is required by using the magic word “please”

GET apinf.io/marianne You get a Marianne candy thrown at you.

GET apinf.io/omar You get an Omar candy thrown at you.

POST apinf.io/candywrapper When you send a candy wrapper, you get 2 candies of the same type back.
