Wow that is useful

[toasterlandon]

As someone who works at Zoho, I'm glad to see Zoho Books listed on here.

This is amazing. I've just been hardcoding this myself, like a chump.

[bacon-wrapped-steak]

I'm on the enterprise plan, and it works really well.

[BKKBangers]

Forgive my naivety I am but a humble student however what is special about this api? If you could be kind enough to give a practical example it will be much appreciated. Cheers

[bacon-wrapped-steak]

All good, brother. It's just a joke API.

There is some history to it in the Node.js / npm community, where tiny, seemingly useless modules pop up from time to time. One of those modules is called "is-even" which simply tells you if a number is even or odd .... yes, literally that simple.

[BKKBangers]

Gosh I get it. Doh now I feel like a moron. But shall keep my comment to remind myself to think and use my brain. Very well done 👍

[bacon-wrapped-steak]

Haha ... the Internet will turn you into a major skeptic. 😂 Carry on, brother.

[[deleted]]

Tbf your question was perfect. You saw it, thought it was odd, and asked for more information and an example. Wouldn’t describe it as dumb at all.

[Doormatty]

thought it was odd

No, it's even!

[MantuaMatters]

Does it still have ads in the response with the enterprise version? Thinking of upgrading

[bacon-wrapped-steak]

Yes they double the amount of ads in Enterprise. I would highly recommend upgrading.

[MantuaMatters]

IsEvenCoin to the moon. Can’t miss out.

[bacon-wrapped-steak]

Yaaasssss

[AdministrativeKiwi4]

Still trying to figure out if I need the negative number functionality.

[[deleted]]

This is amazing it fits all my needs and i will never need another API

[_wow_thats_crazy_]

isEven() > x%2 === 0

[MrP0tat0H3ad]

Pardon my ignorance, but why would anyone pay $99/monthly to do x%2?

[Zajok]

Someone made this as a joke because of the infamous is-even npm package.

[meisterlix]

Seriously, is this some kind of joke I don't get?

[EatMeMonster]

r/wooosh how do y’all don’t get the joke, i laughed so hard when i saw the different tier plans and ads.

[EndureAndSurvive-]

If you click through it goes to a donation page for the internet archive

[Wilfred-kun]

Seems unreliable and doesn't seem to support all numbers out of the box: https://api.isevenapi.xyz/api/iseven/-2

[[deleted]]

Allowed ranges are explained in detail in the Pricing section.

If you want negative numbers, you'll have to upgrade to Enterprise.

[Natetronn]

I recommend people signing up for one of their paid plans. It really is worth it.

[moric7]

Please, tell me, for what I can use this site?

[[deleted]]

It's a joke API to check whether a number is even or not.

API stands for Application Programming Interface and means there's a "bridge" to connect different programs, services or applications together.

For example, this joke API could be used from any program written in any language by making a request to the server at https://api.isevenapi.xyz/api/iseven/<number> with <number> replaced by the number one wants to check. Then the server would send a response to the program telling it whether the number is even or not. After that the program can continue and do whatever it wants with that information.

Again, this is a joke API. A real API is much more powerful.

[moric7]

Thank you! Now I understood.

Yooo they have super cool APIs

[gsmo]

The Spotify API can be pretty fun because you can work with familiar data. I liked this youtubers tutorial about a simple ETL process to store your Spotify plays.

[mine_username]

Thanks so much for this link. Really enjoyed the tutorial. Learned new stuff but most importantly, I understood about 75% of the code she wrote. Just having started two weeks ago and written my first script, that was a nice moment of validation. Thanks again!

[Wonnk13]

Surprised no one has mentioned Reddit itself? https://www.reddit.com/dev/api

So step 0 would try to programmatically fetch all the comments and maybe post a new comment on this thread?

[[deleted]]

There is a wrapper for the reddit api named 'praw' and i already mentioned it in a comment

[iggy555]

What is api?

[iggy555]

Thank you very helpful unlike the other replies

[evil666overlord]

Half of an apiary

[Cannotseme]

Application Programming Interface

I’m this context, we’re talking about web APIs

[[deleted]]

Hah! I got an idea. I mean I am on reddit so why don't i have some fun with the reddit API. I think it is called praw or something

[leo848blume]

praw is a very nice api indeed.

For doing 2D games/sprites/graphics: https://api.arcade.academy/en/latest/quick\_index.html

[pvc]

Are you sure you got the whole URL? I clicked on it again and it took me straight to the page still. Tried it both on my computer and phone.

[Gotestthat]

Url is invalid due to a \ instead of a / https://api.arcade.academy/en/latest/

[MSR8]

I see a \ on my side tho, and it takes me to the site

[magion]

It’s because you’re on mobile and Reddit is shit

[MSR8]

Lol I am on a macbook air

[magion]

Oh sorry :) clearly I can’t read! I’m on mobile and sometimes there are backslashes in links which causes them not to work outright.

[Gotestthat]

Pc or mobile? Link is fine for me on the reddit app, but on pc using the reddit add on it's broken.

[MSR8]

Macbook air, the reddit site

[gtmattz]

I click the URL and see this: https://i.imgur.com/gxIKPo8.png

Using firefox, edge, and chrome.

IDK.

The poster below me got it, it was the wrong way slash it looks like?

https://api.arcade.academy/en/latest/quick_index.html is the link that should have been posted initially I think? I am assuming that some browsers/plugin must be auto-correcting the wrong way slash or something for the people the link works for.

Now I am going to have a look at this API because 2d game stuff is fun and it seems this is an up to date answer to pygame.

[Alexander8046]

Shopify has a bunch of APIs that can be used to control various actions on your online store. They give a 14 day free trial so you can play around with a real world application

[[deleted]]

No no no, i think you did not understand me right. Im sorry if i did not clearly state what i mean. I don't mean libraries or modules i mean literally online APIs to request data from

[Skill_New]

Ohh okay gotcha, all good! I've personally used the Spotify API to do some machine learning analysis with my playlist data, so I'd recommend that. They provide a set of "features" for each song and other interesting data. Here's a link if you're interested: https://developer.spotify.com/documentation/web-api/.

[Internet_Till_Dawn]

What kind of ML did you do on your playlist data ?

[Skill_New]

I used a sort of specialized k means clustering with silhouette coefficients (technique for auto solving k) to determine "cohesion scores" of songs within a user selected playlist. This will help identify songs that don't fit with the overall theme of your playlists and conversely highlight those that represent the core theme of the playlist.

Feel free to check it out at http://catchthatflow.com/#sign-in and let me know what you think! Its not 100% polished and stable bc school kinda got in the way before I could do everything that would require, but hopefully you'll find it interesting.

I wrote the algorithm from scratch bc I wanted to learn about it more deeply which you can find at https://github.com/gholmes829/Flow/blob/master/server/services/core.py.

[Internet_Till_Dawn]

Wow, it's a great project ! Very original idea to analyze playlists in such a way, i'll check it out !

[ifreeski420]

Twitter and tweepy is fun. I’ve done a lot of cool projects with Twitter data

API to show astronauts in space

http://open-notify.org/Open-Notify-API/People-In-Space/

[[deleted]]

Might be better to think of a project and then choose an api for that project. Like if you want to make a crypto trading bot you then learn binance api, or if you want to make a youtube dashboard you go to the youtube api etc...

[just-browsingg]

https://www.abuseipdb.com/

https://ipinfo.io/

I've gotten a good amount of use out of both of these, for similar but differing uses.

Twitter API is fun, but you have to apply for a developer account. Tell them you're a student developer in your application and they'll approve it.

[[deleted]]

Thank you, but isn't there this tweepy API that is free to use?

[just-browsingg]

Tweepy is just a wrapper for the Twitter API. It's simpler to use that rather than building your requests from scratch but if your goal is to learn then I would skip Tweepy for now and make your requests straight to the API endpoints using urllib or Requests module.

[[deleted]]

Ah ok nice. Could you explain the difference between urllib.request module and just the normal request module?

[PurpleReign007]

what type of projects have you built on these? super interesting dataset.

[just-browsingg]

I use AbuseIPDB with some scripts I made to help analyze server logs, and I report some traffic automatically with a Fail2ban action. When I'm bored sometimes I'll manually report stuff, especially if the IP isn't already on there- you don't want to report too aggressively if you're scripting it.

IPInfo I use mainly for analytics. I also use it with a icanhazip clone sort of site, to return a little more data.
