Re:Learn Authentication the Hard Way: Part Three

I appreciate the feedback! Luckily, that hasn’t been an issue and our users tell us they love the name :) Based on my experience, if management is focused on driving business value, then the name of a product or service isn’t really a factor. What matters is the value their teams and business get. And that’s what we’re focused on delivering to our users.

I'm not sure what your exact use case is, but if you need to connect to oauth-based APIs have you tried https://pipedream.com? It's a free developer tool that provides managed auth (including oauth token generation and refresh) for 100+ apps with an easy way to orchestrate those APIs in Node.js workflows. I wrote a short blog post at https://dev.to/pipedream/use-any-api-in-seconds-with-auth-ma.... I hope that's helpful!

Have you tried https://pipedream.com? You can run Node.js (with any npm package) on webhook/http requests, emails and schedules for free. It also manages auth (including oauth token generation and refresh) for popular apps like Google Sheets, Discord, Slack and Airtable -- just use the auths object to reference tokens and keys in code.

A few days ago I started searching for an API to programmatically get the latest data about the global coronavirus outbreak. I came across several visualization and scraping projects, but I couldn't find a simple way to query the latest data programmatically — so I created an HTTP API that returns the latest data in JSON format using a Pipedream workflow.
The API fetches the latest number of confirmed cases, recoveries and deaths from a public Google Sheet published by the team at the Center for Systems Science and Engineering (CSSE) at John Hopkins University, and returns both the raw regional breakouts as well as summary stats in JSON format. It also caches the data for up to 5 minutes to improve performance.
To use the API just make an HTTP request to https://coronavirus.m.pipedream.net/.
