Line 58: ::I suppose one could ask people to update their solutions to use version 3 but I doubt whether anyone will bother or that it will attract any new solutions given what you have to do to use the API in the first place. If anyone needs to use the API for professional reasons, then the existing solutions might at least give them a start for migrating to the latest version. --[[User:PureFox\|PureFox]] ([[User talk:PureFox\|talk]]) 09:15, 25 January 2020 (UTC) == Petition to delete this task == A lot of comments suggested that this task is dubious. Paid services and deprecated APIs shouldn't be part of Rosetta Code. I don't see why we should promote meetup.com here. I have nothing against a task that teaches how to access a (REST-)API, but please use an open project (Wikipedia, Openweathermap, Openstreetmap, just to name a few).[[User:Wieso\|Wieso]] ([[User talk:Wieso\|talk]]) 14:19, 16 April 2020 (UTC) :Task renamed to something more generic. I don't want to sound petulant or like I'm picking on the latest Wren submission, but of course I'm probably about to do both. :I don't think it is a good thing, to put it kindly, to have untested entries on rosettacode that nobody can run, not even the original author. I am aware there is at least one Phix entry equally at fault. I found an alternative for Phix, but not about to advocate that specific site, there are plenty of others out there. In an ideal world there would be another "Host a REST API" rosettacode task this could be tested against, even if just localhost that would do, I suppose. --[[User:Petelomax\|Pete Lomax]] ([[User talk:Petelomax\|talk]]) 14:48, 18 March 2022 (UTC) === RosettaCode MediaWikAPI === RC runs on MediaWiki, and should have it's own REST API. Why not dog food it? https://www.rosettacode.org/mw/api.php
