Absolutely love the tone and approach to this course, and thank you for making this free!

Wow this video came up at the right time.. Thank you FCC.. And thank you Craig for making this a fun journey. You have done a really amazing job at not making this tutorial a boring one. I really loved the breaks and the things you did to keep the learning interesting throughout the video. I wish we had more trainers / teachers like you! You rock!

I learned about this concept in school but it was only briefly covered in a database class and I never understood the point of it until my last job. They were manually configuring hundreds of appliance-type devices through their web UI's which took hours of work. One small change request was many more hours of work again. I realized that these appliances had an API and we were able to reduce hours of work into minutes by writing scripts that took a list of IP's and sent API commands to each device in the list. I did the same thing on another project and cut my estimated completion time in half. As someone who is in IT but is not a developer, even I could see the enormous power and potential of the API. It opens the door to automation, which reduces human error dramatically. It also speeds up onboarding. I am looking forward to watching this course and learning more about API's and their other uses.

Hey everyone, unfortunately he is right about the Spotify page being different. Problem is, they've removed the ability to generate authentication tokens and curl statements in the browser and while still possible, it's a much more difficult process. I'd recommend just watching the Spotify part and then jumping in at the Twilio part.

That makes sense! You said it's still possible to generate the tokens in the browser, how do you do that? I have been stuck on this step for over a week now. Thanks.

@@Rentaplace Sorry, I meant that it's been removed from the browser and you have to generate your authentication token externally, making the request in your language/tool of choice. The nice thing is, I would not linger on the Spotify part. The very next API he teaches, Twilio, has it's authentication token available in the browser and then he shows tools like Postman that will show you how to go back to Spotify and make that authentication token. Just watch and do the rest of the video and then come back and do the tougher Spotify part after, you will know 100% how to handle it.

The teacher earns my attention from the first second. this video was recommended by youtube and i am so excited! I am learning python, and why not to take a course on api's by a great instructor? so excited! Your students and your family must be proud of you. I have take so many online courses, i have to say you have the best way of teaching. Thank you

Hi Elena.. Are you a Web-Developer?

This is a big move of educational revolution. I have started my self study programming journey from fcc (from zero level) and right now I am in confidence level. THANKS A LOT the whole fcc org and god bless u all. From Burma..

Absolutely love the energy, wonderful instructor!! Thank you all so much for the free knowledge ❤

This educator immediately reminds me of my favourite teacher of all time. I was 14 in 9th grade in New Delhi, and the teacher was Mr Atri and he taught us Mathematics. An absolutely brilliant man, and an amazingly intriguing teacher who taught me mathematical concepts, that I still remember to this day, and I'm almost 35 years old now.

I really love this man's energy he makes learning not feel cumbersome at all

This is excellent. I followed through from start till finish nobody could make developing and programming easier than this beautiful piece of tutorial. Thank you for your sincere effort to helping others. I will watch over and over until I am able to independently build APIs and consume same.

Really excited for this one. Saw the first one more than 5 times and enjoyed it everytime. Love that it is once again being refreshed.

Welcome back!

Your style of delivering the material is absolutely fantastic. Thank you for your hard work!

I was just watching the old version. Great to have a more detailed version

for those wondering what was that on 10:22: it's in ruby language, chr(ord('y') ^ 0x20): 1. ord('y') : The `ord` method in Ruby returns the ASCII code of the character passed to it. In this case, `ord('y')` returns the ASCII code for the character 'y', which is 121. 2. 0x20 : This represents the hexadecimal value 20, which is equivalent to 32 in decimal. 3. `^` (XOR operator): The XOR (exclusive OR) operator performs a bitwise XOR operation on the binary representations of two numbers. 4. ord('y') ^ 0x20 This bitwise XOR operation is performed between the ASCII code of 'y' (121 in decimal) and 32. The result is 89. 5. chr(89): The `chr` method in Ruby converts an ASCII code to its corresponding character. In this case, `chr(89)` returns the character with the ASCII code 89, which is 'Y'. So, the overall expression `chr(ord('y') ^ 0x20)` takes the character 'y', performs a bitwise XOR with 32, resulting in the ASCII code 89, and then converts that ASCII code back to the character 'Y'.

Well done for the info. I like how you broke it down into pieces for better explanation.

This guy is amazing. I am wondering how he makes study so enjoyable. I want my kid has teachers like him. Even breaks are included. Wow.

This course has been an incredibly fruitful experience for me, and I can confidently say that it's one of the best things I've ever done in my life. As someone who has been programming for almost a decade, gaining a deep understanding of how APIs work has taken my skills to a whole new level. I'm truly grateful to have had the opportunity to take this course, and I want to express my appreciation to those who made it possible. This is exactly how education should be: interactive, engaging, and straight to the point. The practical, hands-on approach of the course has allowed me to learn and apply new concepts quickly and effectively, and I'm confident that the knowledge I've gained will prove invaluable in my future endeavors. Thank you again for creating such a fantastic learning experience.

HA. A decade. I started to learn coding JS and scratched some html and css since a month ago and whenever i meet a new term like i did with API i take a course. I can not help myself to not know things while i do something and i think it will be my doom in the programming world as i got the feel it would take me forever to grasp all the concepts and terminology..

Thank you very much, a very good job. I hope to learn more about API and this is a good beginning.

Perfect video for API, thanks, Dennis!

Amazing course ! I've purchased a course from Udemy that I followed during days and didn't understand APIs to be honest. But this video made a lot of things very clear

I was summonded for jury duty on the day I was supposed to start a new gig. I had to explain what an API was to the judge. My little wheels were churning so I didn't sound condescending but explained it enough. I came up with the Rosetta Stone translations that couldn't all be stored on a phone so API calls from a little phone app would be made to a website or cloud repository.

I wish every KZread video would encourage me to get up and move around for a bit! Love it!!

Great course, the teacher explain very good each content

This is an excellent video! Thanks very much for providing this great content!

Definitely a tutorial to watch for learning with immersive experience.

He is just such an awesome person. I'v never been to a class where the teacher asks me to take a break

Thank you I am trying to catch up on technology enough to understand what is being said. Everything is connected to, used by, or based on other things, codes, protocols... okay that list could go on. But the only thing I knew about API's was that my WordPress needed one and I have to update mine every once in a while. I knew it was a type of identifier but that was all. Then I started hearing more talk about API's in the talks on AI (Artificial Intelligence)

Thank you so much for this 🙏🙌❤️

this course was brilliantly taught..

Let me just thank you! Before watching this video API's were so scary to me. These days I feel a bit more confident because of your help. Thanks.

2 minutes into the course and already 'I'm Lovin It'

Sorry if this has already been addressed, but I am stuck at 1:57 because I am on windows and neither the Linux or the windows options worked to load the environment credentials. Anyone else have this problem and maybe a hint what to do? Great video btw, thank you!

Unfortunately it looks like Spotify have changed their web developer user interface (in the UK at least) and the process for getting started with using Spotify's API is very different to how it looks in this tutorial. There is no longer a console that you can access from your browser, you have to install multiple "packages" locally on your machine. Spotify have made a tutorial (spread over a dizzying number of hyperlinked pages) to build an app. So in order to do the first tutorial for this video which requires the console, I went through some of the process (not knowing what I was installing or what I was doing) to try and get a command line environment that accesses Spotify's API, and eventually gave up. It didn't seem like that process was going to get me to a point where I could do the exercise in the video! :( Maybe Spotify view having their own tutorial as an even more accessible developer environment, but it made following this video impossible for me.
