Abstract

Over the last decade, HTTP/Web APIs have grown in popularity and become the primary way of exposing functionality from Web servers to apps, most often web sites or mobile apps. Web APIs come with three challenges that we’ll talk about and overcome. Cross-site scripting issues have existed for a long time, and have a variety of solutions that we can apply. The introduction of ultra-popular social networks and other services have introduced a new challenge, which is rate-limiting. It is now common for web servers to limit the number of Web API calls (per hour or day) for a given app to ensure that they can deliver a great experience generally. It is critical that your app doesn’t get “limited”. Last, performance is always a concern for apps that have a heavy dependence on a network-service that you do not control. Learn how you can solve all three of these solutions with a simple but powerful implementation, using WebAPI and Windows Azure.

    My mistake. Cut off was supposed to be at 1pm today but meetup was having time zone issues and things off earlier. I don't think I am going to use a cutoff any more
