apibone
apibone is a library which provides some interfaces for queryable services. It simply abstracts request and response objects for its defined functions.
apibone modules query various web services and return responses in requested formatting. Whether the platform is cli or web, modules access same interface for input and output objects.
Queries
Apibone breaks queries in three parts:
- Module name / alias
- Arguments
- Parameters
in command line form:
module [arguments ...] [--parameter value ...]
For example, to execute rates module in order to query 5 USD's TRY value:
$ apibone module rates usd try --amount 5 # cli example
http://example.com/rates/usd/try?amount=5 # web example
module: module name which will be called. (e.g.: rates)
arguments: arguments of operation (e.g.: first argument is usd, second argument is try)
parameters: optional settings for operation (e.g.: amount with value 5)
