Batch APIs

• Common requirements

  • Are they atomic?
  • What kind of operations are supported?

• Existing approaches

  • Google storage
    • Multipart/mixed content-type

• POST /batch

pedro

Describing APIs

• Idea is to have a DSL/structured file that will describe your API

• Question: is there a repo where people share their Blueprint schemas so we can see them?

  • Not right now. There are definitely plans to make it really open
  • Some people are already sharing their blueprints on GH

• There are no other ways to collaborate on API design

One API to rule them all

An API can be split between:

• Public
• Private

Or maybe between consumers:

• iOS/Android

Hypermedia API design session

Proposed/ran by Andreas Schmidt, Nokia

Based off his design around the Nokia Places API

Notes

• Picked JSON, no support for XML
• Added ?accept=application/json to the URL in the browser for a raw response

Hi Pedro,

 

Just a friendly reminder (since it's your first check due) that your rent payment was due on August 1st, and today is the last day to pay and not to get a late fee.

 

Thanks

A few people asked about my issue with Rails 3 so here's the summary:

* Overriding to_json doesn't work anymore - render :json => User.all 
  seems to be ignoring any options defined in there.

* So I google around, there's a great explanation behind that, cool. 
  Lets move on and define as_json...

* Only it doesn't work if you try to call super with :only, :except, 
  or any of those options. Rails kept rendering all attributes.
