DevelopmentPublic API Docs for Vertopal
Vertopal is an API platform that provides a range of data services for businesses. In this article, we'll take a closer look at the Vertopal API and demonstrate how to use it with JavaScript.
Getting Started
First, you'll need to sign up for an API key at https://www.vertopal.com/signup. Once you've done that, you can use your API key to access the various endpoints of the Vertopal API.
API Endpoints
Retrieving Data
To retrieve data from the Vertopal API, you'll make an HTTP GET request to the relevant endpoint. For example, the following code retrieves the latest stock prices for Apple:
const apiKey = 'YOUR_API_KEY_HERE';
const symCode = 'AAPL';
fetch(`https://api.vertopal.com/stocks/latestPrices?symbol=${symCode}&apikey=${apiKey}`)
.then(response => response.json())
.then(data => console.log(data));
Adding Data
To add data to the Vertopal API, you'll make an HTTP POST request to the relevant endpoint. For example, the following code adds a new customer record:
const apiKey = 'YOUR_API_KEY_HERE';
const customerData = {
name: 'John Smith',
email: 'john.smith@example.com',
phone: '+1 (123) 456-7890'
};
fetch('https://api.vertopal.com/customers', {
method: 'POST',
headers: {
'Content-Type': 'application/json',
'Authorization': `Bearer ${apiKey}`
},
body: JSON.stringify(customerData)
})
.then(response => response.json())
.then(data => console.log(data));
Updating Data
To update data in the Vertopal API, you'll make an HTTP PUT request to the relevant endpoint. For example, the following code updates the email address for an existing customer record:
const apiKey = 'YOUR_API_KEY_HERE';
const customerId = '123456789';
const updatedCustomerData = {
email: 'new.email@example.com'
};
fetch(`https://api.vertopal.com/customers/${customerId}`, {
method: 'PUT',
headers: {
'Content-Type': 'application/json',
'Authorization': `Bearer ${apiKey}`
},
body: JSON.stringify(updatedCustomerData)
})
.then(response => response.json())
.then(data => console.log(data));
Deleting Data
To delete data from the Vertopal API, you'll make an HTTP DELETE request to the relevant endpoint. For example, the following code deletes a customer record:
const apiKey = 'YOUR_API_KEY_HERE';
const customerId = '123456789';
fetch(`https://api.vertopal.com/customers/${customerId}`, {
method: 'DELETE',
headers: {
'Authorization': `Bearer ${apiKey}`
}
})
.then(response => console.log(response));
Conclusion
The Vertopal API provides a comprehensive set of data services for businesses, and can be accessed using simple HTTP requests. By using the examples above, you can start using the Vertopal API with JavaScript and integrate it into your projects with ease.
