Share: API

An API (Application Programming Interface) is a set of rules and protocols that allow one software application to interact with another. It defines the methods and data formats that applications use to request and exchange information. APIs are used to allow different systems, services, or components to communicate with each other.

APIs typically work by defining endpoints (URLs) where one system can send requests, and the system receiving the request processes it and sends a response back. Here's a basic overview of how the process works:

1. Client (Requester): The system (or program) that initiates the request. This could be a user interacting with an app, or a program that needs to fetch data from another service.

2. API Endpoint: An endpoint is a specific URL or URI (Uniform Resource Identifier) on the server that defines where the request should be sent.

3. Request: The client sends an HTTP request to the API endpoint. This can be one of several types:
GET: Retrieve data.
POST: Send data (e.g., create a resource).
PUT/PATCH: Update data.
DELETE: Delete data.

4. Server: The server hosts the API, processes incoming requests, performs the requested action, and sends back a response.

5. Response: After processing the request, the server sends a response back to the client. This could be in various formats, commonly JSON (JavaScript Object Notation) or XML. The response typically includes a status code indicating success (e.g., 200 for OK) or failure (e.g., 404 for not found).

However, it is difficult for people to remember. Because of this, domain names were developed and used to identify entities on the Internet rather than using IP addresses.   A domain name can be any combination of letters and numbers, and it can be used in combination of the various extensions, such as .com, .net and more.   The domain name must be registered before you can use it. Every domain name is unique. If someone types in www.yourdomain.com, it will and only go to your website.   Domain names are formed by the rules and procedures of the Domain Name System (DNS). Any name registered in the DNS is a domain name.   "Domain names are organized in subordinate levels (subdomains) of the DNS root domain, which is nameless. The first-level set of domain names are the top-lev...

Pyramid Schemes: How to Recognize and Avoid Them A pyramid scheme is an illegal and deceptive business model that relies primarily on recruiting new participants, rather than selling actual products or services. While these schemes may look like legitimate businesses at first glance, they are designed to collapse, often leaving the majority of participants with financial losses.

How-To: Google Authenticator: Guide to Setup, Backup, and Safe Usage

What is Google Authenticator? Google Authenticator is a free security app from Google that provides two-factor authentication (2FA) codes. Instead of just entering a password, you’ll also need to input a time-based code from the app. This extra step greatly reduces the risk of your account being hacked, even if someone knows your password. Unlike SMS codes, which can be intercepted, Google Authenticator works offline and generates unique codes every 30 seconds directly on your device. Why Use Google Authenticator? Stronger security: Protects against password leaks or phishing. Offline usage: Works without mobile data or Wi-Fi. Multi-account support: You can store codes for multiple accounts (Google, Facebook, Instagram, banking apps, etc.). Free and lightweight: No subscription fees, minimal storage needed. How to Set Up Google Authenticator Step 1: Install the App Download Google Authenticator from:  Google Play Store (Android) Apple App Store (iOS) Step 2: Enable 2FA on Your Acco...
