There are two types of remote web services: REST APIs and SOAP APIs If you want to wrap a SOAP API and make it easier to work with through the use of REST endpoints, this simple tutorial will enable you to achieve that goal. With this process, you'll be able to make a request with JSON to the API and receive a response in JSON instead of a long-winded XML format.

You need to save money, deploy projects faster, and spend more time on developing application experiences that enthrall users. It is practically a certainty that APIs will play a critical role in your software development process, but how much does it cost to build an API? Learn more about DreamFactory’s API cost calculator in this blog article! Here’s the key things to know about our API Cost Calclator: Table of Contents.

Kevin McGahey - May 28, 2024 It’s been a while since our last update, but while we’ve been AWOL, we most certainly haven’t been AFK. Here’s a brief summary of what we’ve been up to since the last update.

Jeremy H - May 20, 2024 In the age of technology, businesses are experiencing a digital renaissance. Customers are interacting with companies through mobile devices and social media platforms more than ever, and they expect a higher level of service. This has forced businesses to re-evaluate how they operate to meet customer demands. One such way companies are changing the way they work is by adopting the benefits of microservices. The question is, why are microservices so helpful to modern enterprises?

Jeremy H - May 20, 2024 The terms RESTful API and Microservices go hand-in-hand when building a microservices-based application. Nevertheless, they refer to very different things. The easiest way to understand the difference between RESTful APIs and microservices is like this: Table of Contents.

API-database coupling vs. traditional multi-layered architectures: what’s the difference and why does it matter? The main difference between direct API-database coupling and multi-layered architectures is that the former allows the API to interact directly with the database, minimizing latency and complexity, while the latter uses multiple layers to separate concerns.

Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) systems are designed to streamline business operations by centralizing data across an organization. However, extracting and utilizing this data can be a complex and time-consuming process. One solution to this problem is the use of APIs (Application Programming Interfaces), which allow you to get data out of ERP systems and other software applications.

At some point, anyone who has enjoyed using a computer has wondered if they could build their own app. But software development becomes intimidating fast if you’re not a programmer. Fortunately, there is a wide range of no-code platforms available today. Even in the enterprise, there’s demand for no-code development. As APIs have become one of the most important components of the modern application ecosystem, several no-code API solutions are now available.

We’re happy to announce that DreamFactory was added to Snowflake’s Select partnership tier! Our mutual customers are getting tremendous value by using DreamFactory and Snowflake together, and we are excited for more collaboration to come. Through this partnership, we’re aiming to make it easier than ever for businesses to access and utilize their Snowflake data without the headaches of manual API coding.

Application programming interfaces (APIs) have quickly become vital to modern businesses. APIs work by allowing different systems to talk to each other and share data. The commercial use of APIs and web APIs has skyrocketed over the last decades in accordance with the rise in app development, mobile apps, and e-commerce. However, how do you estimate API development time? Well, API creation and the development time frame will always vary from project to project.
