The Private API Economy

Those on the front lines during this pandemic need quick, easy access to real-time critical data. This type of information exchange is what APIs do best, and the API community has been stepping up to meet the challenge throughout the crisis. But there's always more to do. If you'd like to join the fight, this webinar is for you regardless of whether you're new to APIs or a knowledgeable Postman expert. In this webinar led by Postman Chief Evangelist Kin Lane, you'll learn: How APIs aid pandemic response measures How you can publish new APIs related to COVID-19 How Open Referral data standards make it easier for you to share, find and use information about health, human, and social services How you can contribute to the COVID-19 Testing Locations website, and how APIs power that website What reputable information and tools are currently available for the COVID-19 efforts

Recoil is a state management library for React that provides an alternative to Redux. It uses a data flow graph and atoms to manage state in a minimal and React-like way. Recoil avoids some of the disadvantages of Redux like extra code from actions and reducers. Unlike Context API, Recoil is optimized for high frequency state updates. It allows asynchronous processing and testing more easily than Redux.

This document provides an introduction to APIs (application programming interfaces). It defines APIs as sets of subroutines, protocols, and tools that allow developers to build software applications more easily. APIs can expose services that are consumed by various client applications, including hardware, software, websites, and mobile apps. Common API styles include REST (Representational State Transfer) and GraphQL, with REST being the most widely used approach currently. The document also discusses API concepts like resources, methods, representations, and contracts to establish trust between providers and consumers.

Michael Palotas gave a presentation on web and mobile automation using Selenium. He discussed how Selenium and related tools like Selenium Grid, Selenium WebDriver, Selendroid, and iOS-Driver allow for automating tests across web and mobile platforms under one framework. He emphasized asking the right questions about reuse, supported platforms, and scaling before starting an automation project. Palotas also covered open source benefits and provided examples of simple mobile and web tests.

Prototyping with OpenAPI shows how to build prototype from OpenAPI definition. Developer site for SaaShop is used as the example.

This document lists 20 different APIs that can be used for various purposes in 20 minutes or less. The APIs cover domains like streaming media, transportation, social media, government data, text analysis, robotics, phone calls, work automation, and comics/superheroes. The author is Andreas Krohn, who provides his contact information at the bottom.

This document discusses the rise of APIs and the Postman platform. It notes that APIs are now essential due to trends like mobile and cloud computing. Postman started in 2012 to help with API testing and has since grown significantly, with over 500,000 organizations using it. The document outlines Postman's platform services for API lifecycle management, collaboration, and runtime functionality. It also previews many new features and highlights Postman's continued focus on the API-first approach.

This document lists and describes 14 different API directories, providing information on the number of APIs each directory contains, how APIs are added, and other key features. The top 3 directories are ProgrammableWeb, with 1700 hand-curated APIs; RapidAPI, with 500 APIs and a karma rating system; and APIs.guru, with 500 APIs using the OpenAPI specification. The document encourages profiling APIs on these directories.

Creating a successful API requires a proper process from concept and design, through development, and into ongoing maintenance and good developer support. There are many steps to a good API. As developer expectations for better-quality APIs increase, tools have made it easier to do this well. Looking at the full API Product Lifecycle to design an API people will use, Jeremy Glassenberg will share the newest tools -- and potentially upcoming opportunities -- to better automate the planning and creation of a solid developer program.

Everyone uses one or two APIs in their product for services - but what can you do when you just take some APIs and a little glue code? Discover how you could revolutionise dinner planning with your family just by using a few APIs. You'll never even have to speak to your SO or your kids about dinner plans again!

Proper API governance can help you deliver more consistent APIs. Join Postman Chief Evangelist (and governance fanatic) Kin Lane in this webinar to learn essential elements of API governance using Postman. Kin will show you how the OpenAPI Specification and Postman Collections can help you test the results of each API while you measure, standardize, report, and govern APIs at scale.
