@nirudhuuu it's a coincidence sir 🙂

[surendra_ manjhi @manjhss]

@TEJAS_DEV_code cool 🙌

[surendra_ manjhi @manjhss]

@jackedAJ welcome to men world 🗿

[surendra_ manjhi @manjhss]

@tldraw is it gonna be open-sourced ?? i would love to know how it is implemented

[surendra_ manjhi @manjhss]

the moment you start using library/framework
you start missing those learnings they are offering

[surendra_ manjhi @manjhss]

@sktgthill @takeUforward_ like dns does??

[surendra_ manjhi @manjhss]

@sameerbhagtani @AbdulrehmanA28 is it possible? just curious

[surendra_ manjhi @manjhss]

@TEJAS_DEV_code @Hiteshdotcom @piyushgarg_dev @nirudhuuu @ChaiCodeHQ @yntpdotme @surajtwt_ @devwithjay @BlazeisCoding @vidya4sure okay, can i get the link?
like i also wanna build something like this

it would be helpful for me to understand
architecture, tech stacks, coding stuff and more

API in a nutshell:

What is an API?

Imagine you have a favourite teddy bear, and you want to show it to your friends at school.
But you can't take your teddy bear out of your house because it's too big.
So, you take a picture of your teddy bear and show that picture to your friends.

An API is like that picture! It's a way for computer programs to show or share things with each other without revealing all their secrets.
Instead of showing the actual teddy bear (or the code inside a program), they use an API to send a simplified version, like a picture, so other programs can understand and play with it.

An API is a set of rules and tools that allows different software applications to communicate with each other.
It defines the methods and data formats that applications can use to request and exchange information.
APIs are crucial for enabling the integration of different systems and services.

Components of an API:

- Endpoints:
An endpoint is a specific URL or URI (Uniform Resource Identifier) where an API can be accessed.
Each endpoint corresponds to a specific function or resource that the API provides.

- Request Methods:
APIs use standard HTTP methods like GET, POST, PUT, and DELETE to perform different operations.
These methods define the type of action the client wants to perform on a resource.

- Request and Response Formats:
APIs often specify the format in which data should be sent in requests (e.g., JSON or XML) and the format in which the response will be delivered.

- Authentication:
Many APIs require authentication to ensure that only authorized users or applications can access the data or services.
Common authentication mechanisms include API keys, OAuth tokens, and JWTs (JSON Web Tokens).

How do APIs Work?

1. The client initiates the requests via the APIs URI (Uniform Resource Identifier)

2. The API makes a call to the server after receiving the request

3. Then the server sends the response back to the API with the information

4. Finally, the API transfers the data to the client

How is an API Different From a Web Application?

An API (Application Programming Interface) is a set of rules that enables different software applications to communicate with each other, allowing them to exchange data and functionality.
It serves as a bridge between different systems, facilitating integration.

On the other hand, a web application is a software application designed for end-users to interact with directly through a web browser.
It provides a graphical user interface and performs specific functions, such as displaying information or processing user input.
While web applications are user-facing, APIs work behind the scenes to enable seamless communication and data exchange between different software entities.
