As you may know, there is Steem Interactive API built with Swagger. It is great tool to quickly query and learn how Steem API works in interactive way.
If you know little basics of Javascript you can earn some extra rewards and as well as contribute to the Steem ecosystem.
I created bounty on Gitcoin, where you can complete the task and earn some ETH, ESTM as well as all the reward from this post. ESTM and STEEM rewards will be sent once task is completed to Steem account of your choice.

Task is simple, all you have to do is to complete these points: https://github.com/esteemapp/steemapi/issues/2
Which means updating this swagger.json file on github with new APIs and add some links to documentation...
Steem on!
I only wish I knew. I currently do not know any code. Only a very basic HTML. Probably the majority of the users are in the same (or similar) shoes as me.
Actually, it doesn't require JS, but would be good to know so while improving json information developer could test how it looks like and test query before submitting the work.
I am a professional Javascript Developer, know all shiny things about js, but struggle to find relative documentation where I can start doing stuff. Life Git page, Wikis, etc. Anyone?
If you read this post, everything is in there to get you started if you want to develop, there is devportal, there is js library, there is this interactive api...
If only i can read javascript.. I would love to mke my own app..
Damn. Upvoting your own two sentences comment with $0.03. Do you really think that you deserve any reward for these two sentences? Why a lot of people are so selfish on the Steem blockchain?
Steem on really
Excellent
I see someone started already on it, which is a good thing. I coded Javascript old ways long back, need to refresh my skills. Sometimes back, I saw a light weight library Steem-Tx , and even its ready to be used from browser.
What's the diff between using that vs Swagger API ?
Swagger uses steem-js library on backend but its goal is to provide you access to steem API directly so you can interact with it without needing to write any code so you can plan your code accordingly. This task doesn't require much js skills...
If I see the list of operations , its mostly get operations. For posting (post / comment) , are there any API ?
And I see already 3 people started on the task.
Yes, there are post and comment operations but it is not in scope of this task.
do i need to apply here as a contributor?
https://gitcoin.co/issue/esteemapp/steemapi/2/3987
but i don't see apply or anything...😅
👍👍👍
Wow! Sounds cool
there is no "Express Interest" button that means you have got enough people and its closed already?
never mind! somebody got it already 🙂
Congratulations 😉
I know only basic html and some scripting, can i do it?
Of course you could, but I think, we have already submitted work which will likely get accepted. Maybe next time...
:D :-)
