Hi HN,<p>At <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;parabola.io" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;parabola.io</a>, many of our best users are trying to leverage other APIs but don&#x27;t quite know how to use them or how to read their docs. We realized there weren&#x27;t many good resources out there, so we put together this friendly guide to help our users. But it really deserves a place out in the wild!<p>The guide also comes with a fully working example API that is open source, so you can learn how APIs are made. There are definitely more features that we&#x27;d love to build such as POST&#x2F;PUT&#x2F;DELETE request types actually appearing to modify data. So if anyone is interested, we&#x27;d love to accept a PR.<p>Feel free to ask any questions about our inspiration for this, how we made it, or make suggestions of things we could phrase better&#x2F;more clearly.

This is great and super informational, thanks for sharing!<p>Basics like this should be part of every introductory CS course.
