20 Ways To Use Geolocation API

   allows a user to provide their location to web applications. Geolocation APIs are necessary for Location Based Services and Location Based Apps. If it is a web service or a phone app that either tells you your location or gives you the location of things in proximity to you, tracks activity happening in other locations, lets you discover place names, longitude, latitude coordinates, generates a route on a map or travel itinerary, it is most likely powered by a Geolocation API (GEO API for short). Covid Contact Tracing A great example of the use of Geolocation APIs benefiting society is Google and Apple providing developers with an Exposure Notifications API, which tracks the location of user mobiles and notifies them of possible exposure to confirmed COVID-19 cases. Fitness step counter Many people are comfortable sharing their location information to sport tracker apps so they can see distances they have covered and compare performance with other users. These apps are usef...

Will Automation Through APIs Ever Rule The World?

  Our primary motivation for inventing and constantly improving machines has always been to make our work more efficient. Fundamentally, all we wanted or expected from a machine we designed was that it make our lives easier. As we got better at making and designing machines and our technology got more advanced, however, something changed. We decided it was time to teach the machines to complete tasks on their own. We began by automating physical tasks that were time-consuming or beyond our physical abilities. But, as always, there was another shift as computer technology developed automating software development became a new focus. The demand for high-quality software rose, and the urgency of development velocity grew. With increasing workloads and shrinking time frames, quality began to suffer, so developers started to look into creating trustworthy software automation tools. One of the key benefits of automating software development is that dedicated automation can tools handle t...

Why We Love Automation Through APIs (And You Should, Too!)

 No matter what professional field you work in, higher productivity is likely one of the goals you aspire to. It can, however, be tricky. There is no single way to improve your productivity. Moreover, different strategies work for different people. For some, making lists and breaking every task into smaller tasks helps them do much more in less time. For others, productivity means offloading recurring or repetitive tasks. That’s where automation comes into it.    bit.ly/ 3F1JE2x Over the years, task automation has become much more accessible to the masses. Gone are the days when you had to be a technical wizard and write complicated code to automate even the most basic task. Now, you can easily do the same in no time by using various tools. The most prominent of these tools are nifty programming packages called APIs. Since their invention, there are few industries that APIs haven’t affected. APIs have helped all kinds of professionals maximize productivity and improve app...
