So I have an application I have built that I want to develop a REST API for. Can anyone offer any words of wisdom / links that might be useful? Information out there seems to be quite scarce I need to integrate an API key to make data as secure as possible, and obviously create something for the handling of requests. Any help would be much appreciated
If you are very new to REST, these will give you an idea of how to do what you need: http://www.gen-x-design.com/archives/create-a-rest-api-with-php/ http://particletree.com/features/how-to-add-an-api-to-your-web-service/ This is a framework I've been watching that has REST built-in, but since you've built your app it may not be useful to you unless you wanna rewrite : http://www.recessframework.org/
nice one, found those links just after I made the OP actually but cheers anyways. The recess framework is a bit too complex for my needs really, but the other 2 pages have some pretty good stuff in. Also http://code.google.com/p/easyrest/ is a nice little framework too
