#ICYDK: Nearby Connections API is one of the many APIs available in Google Play services.
This framework was introduced in early 2015.
Initially, it allowed only those devices to share data, which connected to the same wifi network.
After June 2017, in version 11.0, it also made use of Wifi hotspots, Bluetooth and BLE to provide offline communication support to the devices. https://goo.gl/Koan7E #DataIntegration #ML
I read a lot of API documentation and help review API portals for clients, and one of the most common rookie mistakes I see being made is people pointing out the obvious and writing a bunch of fluffy, meaningless content that gets in the way of people actually using an API. When the obvious API industry stuff is combined with the assumed elements of what a company does, you end up with a meaningless set of obstacles that slows API integration down. Here is the most common thing I read when entering an API portal:
“This is an API for querying data from the [Company X] platform, to get access to JSON from our system, which allows you to get data from our system into yours using the web. You will need to write code to make calls to our APIs documented here on the page below. Our API uses REST to accept request and provide responses in a JSON format.” https://goo.gl/jUy5mn #DataIntegration #ML
