- djsumdog 8y agoSeem a great way to get fans to write their promotional stuff for them, and also potentially profit from it.
- stupidbird 8y agoThey own and maintain the data, so it's not that outrageous. It's a bit more transparent than someone like Twitter, who for a time let anyone use their API... and then just pulled the rug out from under it.
- wlesieutre 8y agoAnd it probably took some work to digitize and centralize all this information from their back catalog into a standard format
- 98codes 8y agoIt's a great go-to for an API that provides relatable, recognizable data for a demo, class, or darn near anything else you build that doesn't need selling.
- mrweasel 8y agoIf I was still teaching I could see myself using it in a class, as a demo. One of the hardest things to come up with is good data, and enough of it, to keep students entertained with their assignments.
- projectramo 8y agoYou think its okay to use WOLVERINE himself in any old demo?
- KingMob 8y agoHe's the best there is, at what he does, which is illustrating REST APIs.
- tomphoolery 8y agoyeah, until you build it into a product that is used by developers and then when the Marvel API is down you can't work. Looking at you, Elastic. Whatever shithead developer decided that was a good idea should be fired immediately. ESVM is the worst product you've ever made.
- onion2k 8y agoIn the case of using an API to demonstrate how to use an API, the fact it might be unavailable is a feature. Waaaaaay too many developers write code that assumes a service will always be up.
- ecaron 8y agoFor teaching in a class, I like https://github.com/BestBuy/api-playground https://github.com/BestBuy/api-playground. Let's you consume it and see how it is written while still having relatable content.
- rkuykendall-com 8y agoI've written an extensive reading list manager using the marvel API which I use personally. It's only a day or so of development from being publicly usable, and would really improve the experience of Marvel Unlimited for a lot of people. This is why it will probably never be public. Why bother when I would have to cover all the hosting costs myself?
