TestFlight API
Working on a new iOS build script, I was happy to see that TestFlight has a full-on REST API. When did that happen?
👉 TestFlight API – Manage your beta testing program, including beta testers and groups, apps, and builds.
Now I can automate anything TestFlight without having to rely on the command-line tools locked away inside Xcode! Yaas! Also adding it to my list of helpful APIs.
WordPress API
The recent discovery of the YNAB API has me visualizing some sort of personal client where I can manage my budget and do everything else in my life from one place. Maybe a command-line tool on my Mac terminal? 😆🤓 Why not write and edit blog posts from there too? I mean, it’s possible. I might do it just because it’s so nerdy.
Wait, what if I used the WordPress API to write a blog post about the WordPress API. 🤯😆
Note: there is also a handy interactive API console.
The YNAB API
I just realized that my favorite budgeting app has a public API! Now it’s ever more favorite-ier.
I’m not sure what I would do with this. Part of me wants to post my budget as a widget on this site so I can always see it. 😲 Another part of me wants to write a command-line script that gives me my current budget in plaintext from my Mac Terminal. 🤓
The (Somewhat) definitive guide to building better APIs
This is a basic / fundamental guide to creating a solid REST interface. It’s good for a review.

I’m glad I’m not going crazy. I’ve seen so many bad REST APIs that I thought I was missing something. But all this lines up as I would have hoped. 😆🤓
