Twitch API programming anyone?

[newjanson]

Hello. Is there anyone who has any experience in programming using an API? I'm really confused reading THIS. Does anyone know what language is this so I can know where to get started? I already have experience in C#, PHP, HTML (and CSS obviously), Pascal. Thanks for the help! Love ya all

have you already checked this link? https://github.com/justintv/twitch-api

it looks like HTTP requests that return JSON data

i know you can use it easily with PHP and JS, but i guess every language has a parser method for JSON and some kind of utility function for HTTP

If you wanna use C# you can try this:

 I tried using it a few weeks ago but couldn't figure it out. Maybe you can!

Wait. So you're telling me, you have experience with PHP and have never used an API? Okay then..

Basically you make requests to the api parsing in (depends on the api) data to receive back specific data. Some other API's work by you submitting data with an API Key etc for verification. They usually return XML, Json, or plain text. PHP comes with a function named json_decode built in so yeah. It's ezpz, oh and 90% of API's have full documentation and examples which are made for a pretty obvious reason.
