About the Course

We use APIs everyday - when we check the news, when we log into online service - because APIs are used by many companies as a way to interact with their product or service. Being able understand and send API requests is helpful in many roles across the business - including product, marketing and data. If you work alongside or interact with APIs in your job, or you want to use APIs in your tech or data projects, this course is a great introduction to interacting with APIs without writing could (using a program called Postman). By the end of this project, you will understand what APIs are and what they are used for. You will have interacted with a number of APIs, and recognise the different parts which make up an API. You will feel comfortable reading API documentation and writing your own requests....

Well put together and easy to follow. At times, I found the instructor difficult to understand due to use of colloquial terms, like 'knot' for 'zero'.

I could not access the project content--the tool opened up only to say technical error and it could not open my project. On the course status it marks my project as complete even if I have not opened it. There's no way to ask for help or to get a refund, please can someone help? Only giving one star to get attention so someone might look into it! Thanks.

With the AP Params section, an exercise failed due to outdated references.  The Open UV UV Index API didn’t work with the software as indicated in the training.  Nor was this reasonably modifiable to enable it to function.  I spent an extra hour, maybe two, trying to get both to function without success. Likely would have been better just to find a youtube after all?

Hi Lauren,

I like your teaching style and presentation. There is a problem with the content though as it is now out of date. An example of this is when you copy the OpenUV collection into Postman. Postman now supports v2 as v1 has been depracated.

I think 10 USD was a bit pricey compared to how much you can learn in this course.

You really need to review the course from time to time. Plenty of issues with Postman. which I have documented in the class issues.

The Presenter bangs and hammers on the keyboard and equipment, the noise is very distracting, it really makes it hard to get through the material.

the Instructor also sounds agitated and uninterested. this should be redone, call this presentation a prototype, obviously it was not proofed correctly.

Terrible course. It was a complete waste of money. I wasn't able to replicate a lot of what the instructor was doing. Even when I could replicate, I was just copying and not understanding.

Save your money- you can learn more information for free by watching a youtube video on how you use postman.

Buen curso, corto para entender cómo funciona Postman y usar APIs. Lo bueno es que enseña a entrar a diferentes APIs y a entender la documentación de cada una, y en general cómo deberían entenderse.

It was so great that you have a built-in postman in course. What I mostly liked is that there's a lot of practice and it's useful for beginners.
