I was looking into the API available for Kbin and it looks like it's currently just read-only, is this correct? Is this even the case for your own instance of it?...
Des chercheurs de Microsoft proposent un mécanisme pour que des #LLM puissent appeler des #API pour chercher de l'information ou exécuter des tâches (actuellement, les LLM vivent dans un environnement figé et n'ont pas d'interaction avec le monde). http://taskmatric.ai/
Le jour où une IA saura acheter un billet sur SNCF-connect, on pourra dire qu'on a atteint la singularité :-)
Prochaine étape : les connecter à l'API de lancement des missiles nucléaires :-)
Today, two major sites took steps towards closing off their walled gardens even more.
#Reddit's revised #API pricing came into effect, and #Twitter now requires a login for viewing public tweets (breaking all Twitter embeds worldwide)
While I can snark and say "and nothing of value was lost", that's not true at all. Reams of good, valuable content (admittedly amidst a lot of trash) is now locked away, essentially forever.
Reject walled gardens, reject #enshittification, embrace open source.
I looked at the #rust based, #Cosmic#desktop#environment, by #System76. This is branded "alpha" right now, but I'm flabbergasted by the users online, who think that "by summer" that thing will be ready for general use.
News flash, it won't.
It generally takes 2-3 years minimum after the official release for a brand new DE (with a brand new #API & libs) to become truly useful to most people. DEs aren't adopted unless matured. Hamper your expectations, lads.
This Fediverse Software Comparison chart from https://calckey.org/#comparison is great. I'd love to see a similar chart for developers. Comparison of API endpoints, OAuth support, etc.
Bathing in the #Stripe docs these days and they have just an avalanche of low-level information & #API docs but what I really need is a high-level "these are the general steps you'll take" which then lead into those detail pages.
A few of Reddit's third-party app developers are sharing concerning news about the site's new API pricing, with one quoting a potential $20 million a year bill. Will we see a repeat of Twitter's API chaos?
An interesting aspect of #API design is how error messages are almost never included in any "contract", and as such subject to change at any time, often without so much as a mention. From what I've seen, consumers "depending" on error messages is however quite common, as there often is no better way to differentiate one error from another. Error codes solve this for REST APIs, as do granular types for exceptions and errors in programmatic APIs... but honestly, no one seems to bother.
Why is it so fun to create APIs? Something about it is so oddly satisfying, the image down below is part of my API documentation and its just pure dopamine to look at xD I could do this kind of stuff forever… #api#rustlang#axum#programming#technology#coding#dev#development
Protest gegen API-Preise: Große Subreddits werden tagelang stillgelegt
Reddit will für bislang kostenfreie API-Zugriffe so viel Geld verlangen, dass Dritt-Anwendungen wohl dicht machen müssen. Dagegen macht die Community mobil.
Open question: I’m a middle-aged dude with a few years of #programming experience — 25 long years ago. So I have rudimentary understanding of basic programming concepts, but know nothing of modern languages or methods.
If I wanted to write an #apple#iOS#app that hits a web-accessible #api, what would you all recommend as the best way to get started and/or learn iOS & #swift?
I'm looking to write a NC client in python, in which I wanna connect to my account and access (download, upload, and write) the files associated with the account.
You got any good recommendation?
any links to github, library, API or a similar post are all helpful!
If you've built a SaaS that allows your clients to integrate with it via an API, I have one big request:
PLEASE give them a staging environment for testing their integration without having to buy another license (sometimes very expensive). Just include it.
A question for #API historians (and software archivists in general):
Who coined the term, "API-First"?
I assume there is probably no one single author, but I'm just as interested in the chain of who popularized the term. Researching this sort of thing can be hard, as search algorithms heavily favor recency.
Trying to trace things through slide decks, it seems like there was a big bang of mentions around 2013, but then things get muddled.
KBin API post?
I was looking into the API available for Kbin and it looks like it's currently just read-only, is this correct? Is this even the case for your own instance of it?...
I've just checked the Reddit app again.
Works okay for me.
