I've had these issues mainly during high traffic periods of my application. I reduced them by reducing payloads i.e. reducing arrays and objects to only what I need to send, making my server algorithms more efficient, and returning valid exceptions on bad requests.
Now, my API should allow many different filter operators. Numeric operators such as equals, greater than, less than, string operators like contains, begins with or ends with and date operators such as year of or timediff. Moreover, AND and OR combinations should be possible. Basically, I want to support a subset of the underlying MySQL database ...
A poorly form URI doesn't point to the resource and therefore performing a GET on it will not return a resource. 404 means The server has not found anything matching the Request-URI. If you put in the wrong URI or bad URI that is your problem and the reason you didn't get to a resource whether a HTML page or IMG.
An API defines the interfaces by which one piece of software communicates with another at the source level. Definition of ABI: Whereas an API defines a source interface, an ABI defines the low-level binary interface between two or more pieces of software on a particular architecture. It defines how an application interacts with itself, how an ...
In the end, DB insert matching the API call case triggers write to Queue table with parameters for API call Stored procedure run every 5 seconds runs Cursor to pull each Queue table entry, send the XP_CMDShell call to the bat file with parameters Bat file contains Curl call with parameters inserted sending output to logs. Works well.
Pros: It is a standard independent of your api. Cons: Less information on what really happened. Use HTTP Status + json body (even if it is an error). Define a uniform structure for errors (ex: code, message, reason, type, etc) and use it for errors, if it is a success then just return the expected json response.
I'm surprised nobody has mentioned the new Fetch API, supported by all browsers except IE11 at the time of writing. It simplifies the XMLHttpRequest syntax you see in many of the other examples. The API includes a lot more, but start with the fetch() method. It takes two arguments: A URL or an object representing the request.
In order to find chart data using the financial data API of Google, one must simply go to Google as if looking for a search term, type finance into the search engine, and a link to Google finance will appear. Once at the Google finance search engine, type the ticker name into the financial data API engine and the result will be displayed.
39. I have written my own Restful API and am wondering about the best way to deal with large amounts of records returned from the API. For example, if I use GET method to myapi.co.uk/messages/ this will bring back the XML for all message records, which in some cases could be 1000's. This makes using the API very sluggish.
I've been reading forums and trying Steam APIs, I'm searching for an API which provides all Steam Games. I found the API providing all SteamApps, and the Steam Store API which provides information for Apps (I'm looking for the type: 'game'), but for this, I need to call the store API once for each SteamApp...
