: I think that any task which requires people pay money in order to exercise the code (another example might be credit card handling) should be treated as dubious. There's definitely a place for that kind of code, but I think that that place should be on a rigorously regulated paid access site. It's advertising for a commercial endeavor, which is fine as long as the commercial endeavor (a) contributes back, and (b) does so in an honest and clear fashion, and (c) does not whine and complain about other activities. I do not think that the person asking this task be posted here was doing the right thing. --[[User:Rdm|Rdm]] ([[User talk:Rdm|talk]]) 13:12, 29 December 2014 (UTC)
::Ick, I wasn't aware of that. IMO then this whole task should be replaced by a generic "use a REST API" task against some kind of test server. If no such freely available API for testing exists then either one could be part of a separate (more involved) task or there isn't much place for this on Rosettacode.org. —[[User:dchapes|dchapes]] ([[User talk:dchapes|talk]] | [[Special:Contributions/dchapes|contribs]]) 18:31, 29 December 2014 (UTC)
