lol that's basically exactly what you said

i'm just fucking thick

i need some cbd oil

yup

Well, not that particular page. That is HTML, but a lot of content is basically just JSON and some JS on your web browser will put it in the right place on the web page. It's not necessarily static content anymore, like in the Web 1.0 days.

It's kind of like abusing the postal service. Let's say you invented a secret convention with a friend, according to which you don't send them any letter (the content) necessarily, but encode what he's supposed to do in the sender address (the URL).

wut

You write something on the envelope, and it will still be delivered, but your friend will take the street address to mean a password, for example.

this is too meta :^)

REST kind of does the same. It uses URLs, which used to denote directories as function parameters.

For example, a REST API could return 30 for https://api.adder.com/10/20

Let me give you another example. HOld on.

THIS ISNT HELPING JUST ***STOP***

github url is also a good example of that tho:^)

i stopped paying attention or caring after i started crying a few minutes ago so fugghetabahtit

just returns html template instead of json

pls don't cry

For example, enter this URL in your browser.

http://wttr.in/

lol not directly about this

and now run this from a terminal:

> curl https://wttr.in

i just cry randomly because i'm no longer able to hold down the deep fears and hatred of myself after a while

It will return the current weather for your location as text.

undead

https://wttr.in/tehran will return weather for Tehran, Iran.

doesn't sound fun ;~;

Oh.

I thought we were having fun.

welp

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I was about to show a really cool example of a REST API, but I think I should just get back to my flash cards.

hard to be inconspicuous about it when theres someone sitting right behind me most of the time lol
