== 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 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)
