Programming Language API

The Programming Language API provides information about different programming languages, their uses, paradigms, and release details. This API is ideal for educational applications, language comparisons, or adding dynamic content related to programming.

Endpoint

https://freeapihub.onrender.com/api/v1/programming-languages

Get Language Data by ID

To retrieve programming language data by ID, you can use the following endpoint:

https://freeapihub.onrender.com/api/v1/programming-languages/:languageId

Replace : languageId with the actual programming language ID you want to fetch.

Installation

To use the Programming Language API, you’ll need to install Axios. You can do this using either npm or pnpm:

Note: Run these commands in your project directory to install Axios.

Using npm

npm install axios

Using pnpm

pnpm add axios

Example Usage

Here’s how to fetch programming language data using Axios:

import axios from "axios";
 
axios
  .get("https://freeapihub.onrender.com/api/v1/programming-languages")
  .then((response) => {
    console.log(response.data);
  })
  .catch((error) => {
    console.error("Error fetching data:", error);
  });

Here’s how to fetch programming language data by id using Axios:

import axios from "axios";
 
const languageId = "1a2b3c4d"; // Replace with actual language ID
 
axios
  .get(`https://freeapihub.onrender.com/api/v1/programming-languages/${languageId}`)
  .then((response) => {
    console.log(response.data);
  })
  .catch((error) => {
    console.error("Error fetching joke data by ID:", error);
  });

Error Handling

When using the Programming Language API, it’s essential to handle potential errors effectively. Below are common error codes you may encounter:

Error Code	Description
404	Resource not found
429	Too many requests (rate limit)

Example Error Handling

To manage potential errors gracefully, you can use a try…catch block in your Axios requests. Here’s an example of how to implement error handling when fetching programming language data:

import axios from "axios";
 
async function fetchProgrammingLanguageData() {
  try {
    const response = await axios.get("https://freeapihub.onrender.com/api/v1/programming-languages");
    console.log(response.data);
  } catch (error) {
    console.error(
      "Error fetching programming language data: ",
      error.response?.data?.message || "An unexpected error occurred."
    );
  }
}
 
fetchProgrammingLanguageData();

Usage Tips

Use the Programming Language API to retrieve data for educational tools, language comparison charts, or for showcasing popular languages on your platform.
Experiment with different API calls to explore the range of languages and details available.
