Consuming Data and Services by Using APIs

TODO

Technical topics

• REST
• overloading/optional arguments
• converting raw JSON to typed values (also mention protobuf and xml as data exchange formats)

Things to watch out for

• side effects etc. everything we've discussed as tricky.

Learning a New API,

• find the documentation for an API
• also the implementation, but you shouldn't need to use that
• if using AI, ask it to give you citations to the official docs.
