So a while back I did a fun project at https://pornstars-per-capita.com. It basically shows data on how many porn actresses are in each country and calculates the per capita.

The api is available at https://api.pornstars-per-capita.com and is documented there.

Hey community, i wrote this article about API architecture basics, so if there are any newbies in this subb you might find it useful.

Understanding APIs

APIs are of utility for businesses for seven broad purposes:

1. Access an application's data and logic and monetization potential of collected data
2. Use an application's functionality
3. Serve as a medium of communication between Microservices
4. Connecting ecosystems: C2B(Consumer to Business) and B2B(Business to Business)
5. Power integrations
6. New features for your business
7. Open new pathways for innovation and growth

Most of you probably know this, but it's a great resource. https://public-apis.io/

I'm an "old" developper : I code since 1990, but as a pro since 2000 (mainly with PHP), and with MVCs since 2019.

About one year ago, I discovered Vue, and my backends slowly moved from "full stack backend" to "API only backend"

On 2019, I started with Laravel, and quickly felt more confident with it: the ORM, the test suite, all those "by conventions" features makes it a great framework for API dev.

But a few month ago, I felt the need to move my backend stack to NodeJS, so I could focus on only one programming language for both front and back...

I found AdonisJS which is an almost perfect copy of Laravel, but it still miss some great features from Laravel.

I'm still searching for "the

“An engineer configures the parameters of their API in a UI and publishes the functional API to the internet for all Uber apps to consume. The configuration governs the behavior of the API: path, type of request data, type of response, maximum calls allowed, apps allowed, protocols for communication, the specific microservices to call, allowed headers, observability, field mapping validation, and more.”

Hey all, so we have decided to re-write our bespoke business software away from blade and into React.

This system uses single-sign-on which is provided by our ADFS setup.

My question is this, has anyone done this before and how do you authenticate into React and Laravel with SSO? Would I just re-direct them to Laravel SSO like it currently is then update the code to return a JWT?

Any advice welcomed

Wanted to ping the community and see if you guys know how many API calls per month do you get? And if you do know - how do you know? Do you measure it manually or have a tool?

I’ll start: we’ve got about 2M API calls per month at the moment and we use Treblle to see how that grows. I sometimes get shocked at how much other projects get. The other day i spoke to a company with 50B API calls per month 😱

Whats your story? 💪🏻
