I wonder if all these people bemoaning their lack of knowledge/experience of APIā€™s are aware that every time they use a service like Cloudinary or [quickcharts.io](http://quickcharts.io), then they are interacting with an API šŸ¤£ ---

Ughā€”hate not knowing how to implement a new feature straight out of the boxā€”quick question, @Mark, are we able to use ready made APIs or do we have to build the endpoints ourselves? Is there a public, ready-made API that you know of that we can use for testingā€”not one custom built with Glitch? ---

> [@Darren\_Murphy](#): > > Big long list of free public APIā€™s [here](https://github.com/public-apis/public-apis) These do not work directly with the API column. The API column expects a very specific interface. To be able to access any API weā€™d basically have to build a little [Postman](https://www.postman.com/product/api-client/) inside Glide. Iā€™m sure weā€™ll do that eventually, but not anytime soon. In the mean time youā€™ll have to write a Yes Code piece that interfaces between Glide and whichever service you want to connect. ---

Iā€™m so glad thi is coming out after the christmas contest. We would have apps with so many apis in them we wouldnā€™t know what to do. Remember that payment companies like SQUARE do not charge to use their APIā€™s for all of you looking for different payment methods. ---
