Don't worry, Nikel API isn't going anywhere.
However, maintaining an API requires lots of work, so we are looking for maintainers for the various Nikel projects.
If anyone is interested in working on a web app written in Vue: nikel-app. Here is a working demo.
If you have any questions please contact us at [email protected].
It has been a while since there was an update.
Nikel's growth is starting to slow down. This isn't a bad thing! It means that users are starting to stabilize. I hope that this period of stability will allow developers to become familiar with the API. The API is only a month old now, so it'll take a little while for people to gain trust of Nikel.
Stay tuned for more updates...
Nikel has reached 1 million requests in the last 10 days!
Currently, the Nikel organization is developing a web/mobile app and is looking for contributors. If you are interested, please email [email protected] for more information.
Stay tuned for more updates...
Around 10 EDT, there was a faulty commit that happened to pass continuous integration.
This caused the API to return empty responses for about 10 hours and 30 minutes to 8:30 EDT.
A fix is released and the issue is resolved.
Sorry for any inconveniences caused,
Daren Liang
