In this session Scott and Tim have some fun with Rest APIs. The IBM i operating system has a built in Rest API engine combined with SQL you have a simple powerful way to call a Rest API out in the InterWeb. Yea… this means that you can do this with RPG and COBOL by simply imbedding the SQL in your ILE programs. We show you a fun API that returns a ‘Dad joke’. Think of how that can be used!!! Add a fun bit of humor to your application! Then we dive in looking at Geo position data. Using a street address, find your geo-location. Last we really spice it up but showing you a simple service that can be leveraged to send text messages to your phone from the IBM i!!! Bet you cant do that with your AS/400….
