Such an over-engineered API and then you use 1 and 0 instead of boolean for the fundamentally boolean thing that's the whole fking point lol, I'm out

Sorry to hear you are out.

I've found "T/F" vals are not always portable between languages ("True" in Python vs "true" in JS) whereas integer comparisons are always interpreted correctly.

What? Booleans are booleans, they are converted to/from the language's boolean type when you encode/decode to JSON.

i'm sorry what is enterprise ready about this? wheres the soc2 certification? wheres the single sign on/active directory? do you even have audit hogs? fundamentally unserious.

thats awesome, do you just love groundhogs or whats your motivation to supply such a service?

#TIL in Canada it was bears that were historically the predictors of an early or late spring; in US it was groundhogs (or ground squirrels). (Likely) Ameriican newspapers pushing their "biased groundhog agenda" across the border in the early 1900's and a lack of a strong understanding of where the bear-thing came from (first nations? the french? no one really knew) prevented a patriotic pushback. Perhaps the first occurance of the US cultural tidal wave the continues to sweep over Canada?

Do you develop a rack-mounted standalone appliance in case we need an Air GaaP solution?

You can try and run it yourself but you are going to need Stargate-level hardware to do it.

Love this! Please ignore the negative comments, this is great. This is actually a great, approachable service to teach my teen child about APIs and data services.

Like Phil, I always assume the negative comments have a 35% accuracy rating.

I hope your child builds the next unicorn startup using this API!

It handles hundreds of thousands of requests a day, that's pretty good!

But you are right, SOC2 is the next step for sure.
