swoopi

swoopi lives here!

swoopi is the freshest SWAPI and loopback API!

why

are you kidding me? it's a Star Wars API. using the latest greatest loopback. what more could you ask for?

how do I...

  1. clone it git clone the https://github.com/profbear/swoopi.git
  2. install deps cd swoopi ; npm i
  3. start it npm start boots a URL like localhost:3000
  4. skim it in the browser at localhost:3000
  5. explore the depths at localhost:3000/explorer

it'll kinda look like this publicly available swoopi.
demo

where data from

swoopi is a service proxy to the world's first machine-readable set of Star Wars data at swapi.co.

now that the SWAPI is modelled with OpenAPIv3, and because it uses loopback, you get the all the massive, cool, crazy enterprise-grade benefits.

but the rate limit

please don't be that guy; you're limited to 10,000 API calls per day

what next

make a GUI, make an app, make some bitch lasagna.

bugs in SWAPI

these are not swoopi bugs, but I don't know how to get ahold of the homeboy who wrote SWAPI. so, they remain bugs:

  • created, edited, and url /schema $.descriptions don't matchup across all models
  • Species and Vehicle have the wrong /schema $.title
