Lotus API Guidelines

Welcome to the guidelines regarding the Lotus API, a simple project built to act as an https request endpoint.

What is the Lotus API?

A simple API project that is used within Sanctuary 7 Projects in order to provide a self hosted endpoint for https requests. The Lotus API itself is not hosted on the Documentation, but an alternative source that can be found at the following URL: https://sanctuary-seven.com/api

Why build an API?

In order to provide simple access to demo projects without requiring advanced configurations or reliance on external endpoint hosting services the idea of self-hosting an API for my projects was created. Details on how to create an Nodejs Application and use it in conjunction with a static site and Apache2 can be found in Setup Apache2 with Nodejs & Reverse Proxy

Can I use the Lotus API?

Currently there are no plans to extend the API usage to a broader scope. The API is purely for the purpose of providing access to projects that it is required for and is not intended to be included or used in projects not managed by myself.

I still want to use the API though...

If for some reason all of the above does not sit well with yourself, then any requests may be sent to [email protected] to discuss details.
