 No, I'm not that I'm aware of so so this was just a plug-in that I put on the WordPress site right now this is part of the API and yeah yeah that was it so so ultimately like this is what a return is an array and so then with further thought I'm able to do through that array randomly right the fun project was something that helped everybody help me learn I wrote a post about this but you're familiar with the Alexa and log out over by Kris mean Alexa skill and you can both only verbally like just create a graph you're close interact with your website have free back notifications all really cool stuff through the API this was a project I worked on I wrote a post and I wanted to explore VR a little bit so how I was thinking to myself we're not gonna walk around with VR goggles in the future all the time but how cool would it be and this was just really quick but how cool would it be is if you're telling a story and you want someone to really interact with your story to break it out into a VR world to be able to walk through the text to be able to interact with the media that you have in your post this is just a post right here and using those illus a brain which is open source as well this is a little more cumbersome but and I'm probably not doing this the best way but but this is how I did it you know I'm getting the API up here for a specific post returning me all that Jason Buffalo Buffalo and then you know I'm looping through of things pulling out the titles changing colors of it pulling out the content and then I'm actually pulling out every paragraph and assigning it and then creating the elements in a frame individually so that I can then place some within the art world wherever I want that's JavaScript yeah yeah so so yeah and yeah it's with with the apron and I mean it was a this was something that I thought would be interesting and was trying to think of the future trying to think of fun things right so in closing I'm speeding through this that was voted 2014 as as building a web operating system sort of kind of right that really helps us think of it we're press different than maybe other CMS softwares out there that if 30% of the internet is built on there's got to be ways that we can really access that data do anomaly innovative things connect to other people's sites there's there's a great talk by Gary about that word press I gave and he talks about ways in which people's word press installs can be connected possibly the other installs that they trust in restrictive governments right so maybe where they're installed word press they can't get updates through the normal channels but maybe if they're connected to another word press install somewhere that they might be able to communicate with each other in such a way that enables updates and enables more activity in a like a strict government repeat so blobs are being built on word press websites native apps well what are your thoughts what do you want to build the press and they guys making this possible to just jump in and do it as designers develop the we're really facilitating the transfer of information and trying to communicate with people in various ways so the different ways to design with the API ultimately different ways to innovate and innovation two things that already exist and putting them together as what we can do so going back to the paradigm right where we saw word press plus things plus plug-ins equals one of these buckets like let's break that paradigm let's do something new let's try new things be with the API or just in their own thing being with the API right yeah okay yeah so God work is documentation what to do about this stuff which is really good there are some great tutorials out there I can't think of any offhand but I mean searching this stuff on Google you can find a pluffer of information on API on things you can do the Chris's talk prior to this one he went into a lot of very interesting things an example to use the API you do great first mask as well but I mean ultimately really your friend software choice what you want to do like it can be done now it is which is phenomenal yeah yeah when they're quickly out on something something I've got my own talk is please a lot of people kind of get intimidated by like okay I have an API what I do now we can do is take your existing previous projects that you've done in maybe the last year go to the endpoints on those sites get that API and try just recreate that and react or something similar or even just pure HTML CSS and JavaScript and build out that from page that's really cool they did everybody hear that so being able to take an existing project and looking at the endpoints that really contribute to that and find developing another way to communicate with those endpoints and recreate your project simple questions one is that available to us online your my slides I will put them up and I'll tweet them about it second question did you use any tools that are not available to us to work on the API no none at all everything is available to you and everything that I do like the code-pending samples that's all open for anybody to go on full new things so just a question about the page builder world and things like that and pulling the data off the website does it come now with extra junk in it because of the page builders great question and I have not investigated that so I don't know I would imagine not okay I'm not sure yeah you may have that answer although the question let me repeat it the question was now with a lot of the page builders and everything when you hit up the API does it inject a lot of other junk in the API which I think is great yet you haven't answered most of those page builders they render out the HTML in the actual post-contact so you're gonna get all that so you do get it all you do get it all get all the extra stuff you're not gonna get the CSS or the JavaScript just the countless amount of divs that you the countless yeah so is there a way to know like if I could get some access to the New York Times Media Library or some other places but have some idea how do you have you get into there no it's great question like how do you know so if it's a WordPress website right you can just like to go to figure that out but with yes okay so with the install it is available but now they can shut off parts of that right if they don't want to share some of that stuff they can turn off the API completely so that it's not even working and you can't kind of easily grab that stuff but through those URLs those routes you can try out you can go to your website you can enter in that WPJ some port slash you know be WPB to etc into a post or into the media and you can kind of see what returns on the page right there when you get it no because all this stuff is really public anyways right if it's a website it's a website and then they're either using it and it's out there what about like user tables and things are can can anybody just access those tables no I don't know not through the API there's a lot more security through that yeah and now now now there are so the questions again I'm sorry about that is the first question was how to find out if the website offers this ability that you can just grab the content to mention the URLs and the other question was is security an issue with this which I have not seen it be an issue at all can you access user tables no unless you I mean the with with the API you do have a lot one right now and I think they want to get to them there so you can perform like actions where if you have the right credentials you can't actually write through the API back to the database you can use very good credentials from that website maker well yeah you'd have to yeah okay yeah you have to be thank you approved yes sir was there like a huge argument about enabling the API by default I believe so yeah it was there an argument around enabling the API by default I believe so I'm I didn't follow all that even though I love history but like I said when it came like this API stuff is still new to me I wasn't involved in a lot of those public conversations but yeah sure there's back and forth everybody like this very the WordPress community is very opinionated and it's awesome because that's passion and I love it I love that people are passionate I love it when I make a change on WordPress dot org that people are upset about something that's what happens when you design in the open that's just bound to happen yeah so in the current state of WordPress I often feel like we're got this hybrid JavaScript platform where often generating content in PHP or running projects but touching objects big objects through the API on the front end and I often find myself wanting to create like a JavaScript version of that PHP object strategy solutions that's that just the reality of it right now right now so the question is people who would like to use JavaScript further creating JavaScript objects that work with the API in the right house once the data gets to the front end yeah I'm going to manipulate it always further create a new object I mean it's rudimentary right now and I know that API team has a lot of desires for this like to introduce a walk to to include more things but right now it's at a little hold it's not had a lot of new development since it's been merged so if this intrigues you and you kind of know what to do with this which I don't like join that team get on the API team contribute open source to make it something awesome that I can just butcher like I also call it WP graph well which is a competing version of the API which is really cool and interesting so if you're into API's that can be one way to go even further and some things of API team can't do for a reason awesome what was the name WP graph QL WP graph QL okay that's like a plug-in I just yeah well another query then which for API's maintain by Facebook just a long time to react to the source as well and it's an awesome look at
