I want to make an API this year, because it sounds like a fun challenge. This is my first experiment: an API that tells you everywhere I've lived, gone to school, and worked for the past 32 years.

NealAPI is powered by Brad Dillon's Instant API script, which creates a RESTful web service from a JSON file. There are no dependencies and it offers path-based navigation.

Here are some example queries:

  • I went to grade school at /neal/7/school. (answer)
  • After college I moved to /neal/23/live. (answer)
  • During high school I worked at /neal/18/work. (answer)
  • Now you can find me at /neal/32. (answer)

Since the I/O is all JSON, it’s super easy to create and maintain this. Seriously, here's the entire dataset.
