00:00 Now, let me just put one final warning out there

00:02 before we jump into building these API's with Uplink.

00:05 Uplink is great for creating structured clients

00:07 against HTTP services,

00:08 works really, really well.

00:10 However, if the API you're working with already has

00:14 a Python implementation, use that.

00:17 It's likely implemented and maintained by the company

00:20 that actually controls the API.

00:22 It'll continually be upgraded, and so on.

00:26 So, for example, over here at Stripe, they have an API.

00:28 We could use Uplink to build our very

00:31 own client to talk to it.

00:32 But, we can just pip install stripe,

00:34 and they'll maintain that and upgrade that over time,

00:37 and we don't have to worry about it.

00:39 So, Uplink really fits in the place where you have this

00:41 structured API you want to work with,

00:43 however, it doesn't have like an official

00:46 PyPI package that is the API wrapper.

00:49 Which there are many, many of those of course,

00:51 but first check and see if there's something from the

00:54 company or organization to already access that API

00:57 and use that, but if not, Uplink, that's where we're goin'.
