The Forget Me Not API architecture
When we looked at getting a user’s preferences in Chapter 8, we used the Preference Service. That service, until now, used a method to return hardcoded values. That, of course, was a temporary expedient so that we could focus on one thing at a time. We are ready now to interact with the online API.
Where’s the service?
I have created an online web service on Azure at https://forgetmenotapi20230113114628.azurewebsites.net/.
It is my goal to keep this up and running so that you can implement the client and get meaningful results, but given that there may be maintenance costs, by the time you read this, the service may no longer be in place. If that is true, you can still get 95% of what you need by reading the API code and using hardcoded data, as we’ve been doing up until now.
Also, note that just going to the URL won’t get you anywhere. It is when we combine that base URL with the specific task-based additions...
