Episode notes

A single api call is like a hand off of data from one system to that other system. In my world of venal managing accounting for a bunch of people, that's entering a hundred bills into a bill pay ap and all those things getting pushed automatically back to the accounting system via theapi of the accounting system. An that's a mass of time savor for us, cause we don't have to enter it in both systems, but it's all happening through the API.

The internet. It's all around us. Today, we pull back the curtain on how to connect data through APIs. The thing that makes the thing you put into one thing, go into the other thing that you want it to go into. Or something like that.

If you make it through to the end of this one, hit us up for a prize. We may or may not try hitting free public APIs at the end like KanyeRest, BoredAPI & Agify (predict age based on your name).
