Summary of API

The API itself simulates a poorly designed Book Database API with CRUD-functionality.

1. The API has a high likelihood of failing. On every operation.
2. The API returns HTTP 200 on every operation
3. The API returns a JSON but the MIME-type is erroneously set to text/html.
4. The API accepts only query-parameters.
5. Only GET is used.

Specs

• The app can request a API-key
• All AJAX-calls are repeated until they succeed (with a limit of 10 tries).
• CRUD functionality:
  • Add data to database
  • View data in database
  • Modify data in database
  • Delete data

Get Started

Disable CORS in your browser (CORS everywhere extension) or launch a simple Python webserver in the app's root folder:

$ python -m SimpleHTTPServer 8080
