Programming Languages API (PLAPI)

Plapi is a web API for programming languages. There are endpoints for common paradigms, programming languages, libraries and tutorials.

This repository contains the source code for the web API. You don't need anything from here to get started with the API, just check out the next section.

Quickstart

Let's pull up some basic information about the Python programming language using the programming-language endpoint (see the next section for a list of all endpoints).

Try a GET request on the following URL:

GET http://api.plapi.io/programming-language/python

You'll receive back JSON corresponding to the Python programming language.

Endpoints

Currently there are 3 endpoints:

1. Language paradigms
2. Programming languages
3. Libraries

Paradigms

/paradigms/

Programming Languages

/programming-languages/

Libraries

/programming-language/<language-slug>/libraries

Adding new data

Issue a POST request to an endpoint with the required data. There's a quick manual approval process, to make sure the data is correct and has all of the proper fields. After the data is approved it'll be live for all Plapi requests.

Editing existing data

TBD.
