YAY-PIs: Working with REST APIs in Python

Speaker: Shea Craig Most network services have REST APIs that enable the intrepid to craft custom solutions to problems not solvable from that service's console or web app. This talk will begin with making basic requests from the interpreter, using Sal as an example service. Next, we'll make use of existing python API frameworks for Casper, Spotify, and Strava. Finally, we will discuss the design and implementation of wrappers for services which don't already have one established, as well as adding a REST API to your existing services.
