This is pretty interesting! I've been working on a web scraping API that returns Open Graph information for a URL, and decided to see how easily I could build and deploy this using Autocode.
In about 15 minutes I ported the code I had written to Autocode. A few things that felt pretty magical:
- auto recognized and imported required NPM modules to my project
- ability to run code in-line (via Runkit)
- auto-generated documentation
You can see the docs for this API here:https://stdlib.com/@carter/lib/open-graph-api/
...and can see an example API GET request which returns the Open Graph information for one of the top stories on HN today:

I'm pretty curious to see where this product goes! It would be super cool to be able to easily tack on auth and a pricing model for heavier (enterprise) users of this API.
