Hey guys please help me how I can create my own API and pass through another API so customer enters information and on submission should pass through my API and another API should be process internally and shouldn't be visible on Customer's end. I'm running out of solutions for my query and haven't find any.
Hey John, thanks for leaving a comment! I've actually done this myself in the past. What I've done is set up an API Proxy. The end-user would make a request to the publicly exposed API proxy, then the proxy would make a request to the real service to perform the desired functionality. Once the real service is done, it would respond to the API Proxy, which would then, in turn, respond to the public user. I've personally done this in the past using AWS Lambda functions, but you could configure an API proxy in quite a few different ways.
Cool blog post! I enjoyed the overview of making your own programming language.
I found a course very similar to your approach.
Keep it up!

Thanks Alex for a great compilation. I just wrote something similar which provides a look at how to create an API in about 10 minutes with MongoDB Stitch... have a look. https://medium.com/@michael.lynn/creating-a-data-enabled-api-in-10-minutes-with-mongodb-stitch-6d23578fed6d
Glad you thought so! I'll check out the blog, thanks for sharing 🙌
This article which lays emphasis on creating your own RESTful APIs truly fulfills the need of the hour since REST API being such a powerful tool crucial in web development services is capable of breaking complex tasks and making them simpler. Another aspect of REST API which I feel is crucial to cover here is about connecting it to Power BI which also is a crucial business analytic tool and a combination of both of these can do wonders.
Very much informative. Thank you for such a wonderful content!!
