Introduction to Protocols.io API

Protocols.io API provides an interface for accessing protocols and their metadata in the form of JSON data. This API can be used to develop third-party applications that can access and modify protocols.

To use the Protocols.io API, you need to authenticate using an API key. Once authenticated, you can use the API to list protocols, view details of a specific protocol, and create new protocols.

API key

To use the Protocols.io API, you need to obtain an API key by signing up for an account at protocols.io. Once you have a valid account, go to the API key page and generate a new key.

Available API endpoints

The Protocols.io API provides the following endpoints:

• GET /protocols: Get a list of available protocols
• GET /protocols/{id}: Get details of a specific protocol
• POST /protocols: Create a new protocol
• PUT /protocols/{id}: Update a specific protocol
• DELETE /protocols/{id}: Delete a specific protocol

Example code in JavaScript

Here is an example of how to use the Protocols.io API in JavaScript:

const API_KEY = 'YOUR_API_KEY_HERE';

const getProtocolList = async () => {
  const res = await fetch('https://api.protocols.io/v3/protocols', {
    headers: {
      Authorization: `Bearer ${API_KEY}`,
    },
  });
  const data = await res.json();
  return data;
};

const getProtocolDetails = async (id) => {
  const res = await fetch(`https://api.protocols.io/v3/protocols/${id}`, {
    headers: {
      Authorization: `Bearer ${API_KEY}`,
    },
  });
  const data = await res.json();
  return data;
};

const createProtocol = async (protocolData) => {
  const res = await fetch('https://api.protocols.io/v3/protocols', {
    method: 'POST',
    headers: {
      Authorization: `Bearer ${API_KEY}`,
      'Content-Type': 'application/json',
    },
    body: JSON.stringify(protocolData),
  });
  const data = await res.json();
  return data;
};

const updateProtocol = async (id, protocolData) => {
  const res = await fetch(`https://api.protocols.io/v3/protocols/${id}`, {
    method: 'PUT',
    headers: {
      Authorization: `Bearer ${API_KEY}`,
      'Content-Type': 'application/json',
    },
    body: JSON.stringify(protocolData),
  });
  const data = await res.json();
  return data;
};

const deleteProtocol = async (id) => {
  const res = await fetch(`https://api.protocols.io/v3/protocols/${id}`, {
    method: 'DELETE',
    headers: {
      Authorization: `Bearer ${API_KEY}`,
    },
  });
  const data = await res.json();
  return data;
};

In the above code, we have defined several functions for interacting with the Protocols.io API. getProtocolList() returns a list of available protocols, getProtocolDetails(id) returns the details of a specific protocol, createProtocol(protocolData) creates a new protocol with the given data, updateProtocol(id, protocolData) updates an existing protocol with the given data, and deleteProtocol(id) deletes an existing protocol.

To use these functions, simply call them with the appropriate parameters. For example:

const protocolList = await getProtocolList();
const protocolDetails = await getProtocolDetails('EXAMPLE_PROTOCOL_ID');
const createdProtocol = await createProtocol({ name: 'New Protocol', description: 'Example description.' });
const updatedProtocol = await updateProtocol('EXAMPLE_PROTOCOL_ID', { name: 'Updated Protocol', description: 'Example updated description.' });
const deletedProtocol = await deleteProtocol('EXAMPLE_PROTOCOL_ID');

Conclusion

The Protocols.io API provides a convenient way to access and modify protocols. With the example code provided above, you can easily integrate the API into your own JavaScript applications.
