Really great blog post with a great message and composition. As a testament to the theme I wrote an API over a weekend that returned ebola data and it has been very heavily used by people around the world. The astounding thing is that the World Health Organization, from whom I gathered the data, only offered it at the time in the form of PDF files. It's all open source if anyone's interested: https://github.com/montanaflynn/ebola-outbreak-api
Doesn't it cost you to host your server and data somewhere? That's not mentioned in the blog post, but I would love to get a ballpark figure for how much $$'s are going out every month to provide this service
So glad to hear you're doing this. I wanna help out with SWAPI, if I get time :)
FYI everybody who maybe didn't read it in the blog post: Paul's API is now used by the UK Organisation Code Club when teaching schoolkids how to use python. They're given a task to create a Pokédex using this API and a python wrapper. I was extremely surprised when I saw my kids using it! Good job, dude!
The definitive word on the Star Wars canon was given earlier this year: only the six films, Star Wars: The Clone Wars series, Star Wars: Rebels, and new content are considered canon.
Also, Wookiepedia is doing an excellent job differentiating Canon and Legends, so you can take your cues from there.
