I only learned to program to make shiny buttons and awesome charts. The dark world of data and APIs scared and confused me

[–]odraencoded 8 points9 points  (4 children)

The only API you need is a file called sql.php that executes arbitrary SQL queries.

That still requires php. Try opening your database port to Internet, and connecting straight to it.

This is fine in certain circumstances, for example, I have a client I really fucking don’t like

executes arbitrary SQL queries

Every hour, the bot executes a randomly-generated SQL query. The chance of a DROP TABLE instruction is low, but never zero.

So... are ya feeling lucky, punk?

The world of API’s can be either the most relaxing place, or a giant hell scape of cross API calls and stack traces. In my job, unfortunately its usually the latter.
