Catalyst |ˈkatl-ist| noun a substance that increases the rate of a chemical reaction without itself undergoing any permanent chemical change.
API Catalyst is a collection of short, simple API code snippets intended to help you get started using RESTful APIs like Beats Music, Rotten Tomatoes, CocaCola Enterprises, USA TODAY, The Guardian, and World Weather Online.
I've always found code snippets to be one of the best ways to get started with an API/SDK. Often times all you wanna know is how to make an API call and get some meaningful results. Much like a catalyst, code snippets make the process of learning and playing around with APIs a lot faster, easier and fun.
API Catalyst code snippets are currently available for Ruby and Javascript.
