Right, welcome back to the third day of
0:02
the GitHub API project.
0:04
I hope you had some fun by now using the GitHub API
0:07
and you chose an interesting project to work on,
0:10
and this gives you some more links.
0:12
So here's the GitHub Developer REST API
0:15
Version 3 documentation.
0:17
You probably will use this a lot,
0:20
although it should also try to help in the pdb inspection
0:24
techniques I showed you in this lesson.
0:26
And maybe if you're not making the GitHub objects
0:29
with a token, you might run into limitations
0:33
of the amount of calls you can do to the API.
0:35
Here is an article about request cache.
0:38
The cache is close to the API in an SQI database,
0:42
so when you're developing your cool app,
0:45
and you do a lot of calls to the API,
0:48
this could actually be useful to
0:49
keep that limit down.
0:51
The other thing is that this might
0:52
speed up the response from the API,
0:55
because it just creates your local database.
0:57
So this just an extra pointer you might
0:59
want to check out when working with
1:02
any API actually.
1:03
And don't forget to share your work.
1:06
You can use #100DaysOfCode, there's a lot of people
1:09
doing that, and that's getting quite some traction.
1:13
And of course, feel free to include
1:15
Talk Python and PyBites in your tweets.
1:17
We are really passionate about this stuff,
1:20
and love to see what you guys are doing
1:23
and coming up with.
1:24
Have fun and go learn a lot of API GitHub goodness,
1:28
and Python of course.
