Σύμφωνα με περιστατικό που είδε το φως της δημοσιότητας από το site Notia.gr, την Κυριακή, δύο άνδρες με αυτοκίνητο βρέθηκαν στο σημείο των εν λόγω γκράφιτι και σταμάτησαν για «έλεγχο» δύο ανήλικα αγόρια, ηλικίας 15 και 17 ετών, λέγοντας πως είναι αστυνομικοί. Υπενθυμίζεται ότι σε αγαστή συνεργασία με τον Δήμαρχο Ελληνικού-Αργυρούπολης (υποστηριζόμενο από τη ΝΔ), έναν παπά αλλά και την αστυνομία, ο ακροδεξιός αυτοαποκαλούμενος καλλιτέχνης «Εύρυτος» κλήθηκε πριν εβδομάδες να φιλοτεχνήσει τοίχους του δήμου με τα πρόσωπα ηρώων της ελληνικής επανάστασης.
Ακροδεξιοί τραμπούκοι σύμφωνα με το notia.gr, παριστάνουν τους αστυνομικούς και «περιπολούν» τα γκράφιτι του ακροδεξιού Εύρυτου στην Αργυρούπολη.
Σύμφωνα με περιστατικό που είδε το φως της δημοσιότητας από το site Notia.gr, την Κυριακή, δύο άνδρες με αυτοκίνητο βρέθηκαν στο σημείο των εν λόγω γκράφιτι και σταμάτησαν για «έλεγχο» δύο ανήλικα αγόρια, ηλικίας 15 και 17 ετών, λέγοντας πως είναι αστυνομικοί.
«Εσείς μουτζουρώσατε το γκράφιτι;», φαίνεται πως ρώτησαν οι δύο άνδρες τα αδέλφια, που μόλις είχαν κατέβει από λεωφορείο. Τα αγόρια αναρωτήθηκαν σχετικά με την ταυτότητα των δύο δραστών. Εκείνοι απάντησαν ότι είναι αστυνομικοί και όταν τα αγόρια ζήτησαν να δουν τις σχετικές ταυτότητες, ο ένας εκ των δύο γρονθοκόπησε το ένα παιδί.
Στη συνέχεια τράπηκαν σε φυγή, όμως οι ανήλικοι συγκράτησαν τις πινακίδες του οχήματος και μαζί με τον πατέρα τους μετέβησαν στο τοπικό Αστυνομικό Τμήμα, καταθέτοντας μήνυση.
Ο ένας από τους δύο δράστες, ηλικίας 50 ετών, συνελήφθη. Ο άλλος δράστης, αυτός που φέρεται να γρονθοκόπησε το ένα παιδί, δεν έχει εντοπιστεί σύμφωνα με το σχετικό ρεπορτάζ.
Υπενθυμίζεται ότι σε αγαστή συνεργασία με τον Δήμαρχο Ελληνικού-Αργυρούπολης (υποστηριζόμενο από τη ΝΔ), έναν παπά αλλά και την αστυνομία, ο ακροδεξιός αυτοαποκαλούμενος καλλιτέχνης «Εύρυτος» κλήθηκε πριν εβδομάδες να φιλοτεχνήσει τοίχους του δήμου με τα πρόσωπα ηρώων της ελληνικής επανάστασης.
Ο νεαρός με τα καλυμμένα χαρακτηριστικά έχει υπογράψει πολλά φασιστικά έργα, με ναζιστικό, ισλαμοφοβικό, αντικομμουνιστικό και συνωμοσιολογικό περιεχόμενο, ενώ υπάρχουν και έργα του που προτρέπουν σε βία κατά μειονοτήτων. Σε συνέντευξη του, τότε, ο ίδιος ανέφερε ότι έχει δεχθεί προσκλήσεις και από άλλους δήμους, όπως αυτοί της Πεύκης, της Παιανίας, των Σερρών, ενώ ειδική αναφορά έκανε στον Δήμο Καραϊσκάκη στην Άρτα.
API and Postman newbie here! For those like me who are having a hard time grasping the ins and outs of the UI, I highly recommend watching the self-study tutorials on Postman Academy! (You'll even receive a digital certificate for bragging rights!) It really helped me understand the concepts in these chapters better and absorb the information a lot faster.
I am completely new to APIs and using Postman. For a beginner, it was frustrating as it took me over 15 minutes just to find where the GET box was to paste into. I only found it by accident.
Hi Tom, thank you for creating this incredible resource! I don't know if Postman UI underwent any changes since the article was updated last time, but there is a minor difference in the following step:
You need to choose Save As for the dialog box to appear, otherwise it seems to be saving the request automatically without it
Seems like 'Import collection' link for Open API Weather is not working - I logged a new issue with screenshots - https://github.com/tomjoht/learnapidoc/issues/61
The Postman UI has changed.
Thanks, I made some updates to the content here.
Hello, Tom. I tried running this command in FreeBSD 12.1
fnord:/home/h/hcexres/public-web% https://api.openweathermap.org/data/2.5/weather?zip=95050&appid=2f1f78c2f2acd1b57628e8e88c36fc3d&units=imperial" Unmatched '"'.
Took out the "; added " before imperial -- no luck

It looks like Postman lets you expand and collapse responses, too (or does now).
Hi, for me, the embedded button for the Aeris collection also imports the OpenWeatherMap collection
Hi,
Before starting with the installation and usage process, let me first give you a brief overview about the API testing
What is API
API (Application Programming Interface) testing is a software testing which involves testing application programming interfaces to determine if they are meeting the expectations of the desired functionality.
In other words, we can also say that an API is a collection of software functions and procedures [which are also known as API calls] that can be executed by other software applications
An API does not have any UI, therefore API testing is performed at the message layer. API testing requires less code and thus provides better and faster test coverage than automated GUI tests.
How API Works
One of the available application to perform API testing is using Postman. To use Postman, you must configure it in your chrome browser using below steps:
Installing POSTMAN
Run Google Chrome and go to More Tools > Extensions
Click Get more extensions
Search POSTMAN by www.getpostman.com
Add to Chrome
Wait for the downloading and installation process to complete
Run Postman
Using Postman
Open Postman
Select an API method
Enter the request URL
Click the Authorization tab and add authorization tokens and credentials as per requirements
Enter headers (if required)
Click Send to make your request
If authentication is successful, the API shows a 200/OK response.
You can also click on Save button to save that API request for future purpose

Tiny little typo in the 1st para of this page - I see "hen ...", guess it should be "When ...".
Enjoying the series, and thanks for the hard work in putting it together.
Thanks! I'll make the update.
Great great great tutorial. It would be useful on this page to show the url string
https://simple-weather.p.ma... instead of just the bulleted word "weatherdata" It wasn't clear to me that there is a "weather" endpoint that returns just text and a "weatherdata" endpoint that will return json. I could only find this weatherdata URL in the screenshot (http://idratherbewriting.co...)
Thanks for the tip. I made the update.
Love the tutorial. I also had trouble with the "aqi" endpoint. Here is what is returned:
Not Supported - NA - NA
But weather and weatherdata worked just fine.
Thanks John. I made a note about how the aqi endpoint is sometimes problematic and recommended that users use the others.
I'm having a dickens of a time getting this to work. No matter what values I put in I get "Not Supported." Didn't have much luck with the other examples either, since I'm not sure what values tp enter for CLIENTID and CLIENTSECRET.
You'll need to create the client ID and secret from the Aeris site in order for the calls to work.
Aeris changed the format of the two keys: Instead of
CLIENTID
andCLIENTSECRET
, hey are nowclient_id
andclient_secret
. The correct format is displayed in the error message.Please ignore my above comment (unable to edit/delete now), as it is incorrect and confusing. It must have been late when I wrote that. Sorry. 😕
Hi Tom. This tutorial is fantastic! I love the hands on aspect. When I sent my query, I got the following response:
Could not get any response
There was an error connecting to https://simple-weather.p.mashape.com.aqi?lat=40.3182&long=74.0151.
Why this might have happened:
•The server couldn't send a response: Ensure that the backend is working properly
•Self-signed SSL certificates are being blocked: Fix this by turning off 'SSL certificate verification' in Settings > General
•Client certificates are required for this server: Fix this by adding client certificates in Settings > Certificates
•Request timeout: Change request timeout in Settings > General
I have been poking around, but have had no luck with anything to get this working. Your help is appreciated.
I guess it isn't on my end, unless I have a typo, but I have triple checked. But, the Aeris API worked perfectly!
IGNORE - I had a typo! :)
Sweet. Glad to hear you found out the problem.
Hi, in the aqi note you give 122.0375935 as the longitude of Santa Clara, but it's actually -122.0375935 as shown in your browser screenshot.
Thanks. I updated this screenshot.
Hi Tom,
Thanks for the tutorial. I've reached till this step and wanted to let you know that the AQI endpoint is not supported any longer. So if anyone's getting an error message, try using the other endpoints (weather or weatherdata)
Anjana, why do you think the aqi endpoint is no longer supported? The endpoint is still in the API's doc and I just tried a call and it works for me. Maybe you entered coordinates that weren't supported? Unfortunately the error message that says "Not supported" is a bit confusing. It doesn't refer to the endpoint. It refers to the location. Try entering ?lat=33.8351523&lng=-117.986186.
Hi Tom,
Thank you for this great course! I noticed something while doing the activities listed in this module. The sentence "The query string is the code followed by the ? in the endpoint URI." implies that the "?" comes after the query string. Isn't the reverse true?
No, the reverse isn't true. any parameters that appear before the "?" are called path parameters and their order is not interchangeable, nor are they optional.
Hi Tom,
Very helpful course, I must say. Just a little oops after the last step (step 6) after sending the request, it does not return any value in the response. The response status is OK but the response body is empty. I tried all 3 endpoints with the same result! Any advice?
Thanks.
It could be an issue with your network connection, or maybe the API service was temporarily having issues. I've seen this happen before, and it usually gets resolved on its own. Can you tell me if you're still having trouble?
Hi Tom. Great tutorial dude!
Just to let you know the endpoint for simple weather aqi has changed to https://simple-weather.p.ma...
If anybody is having a 'Cannot GET' message in postman, this would be why!
KoreMike, thanks for the note, but I can't find any instances where the endpoint for the simple weather aqi is not listed as https://simple-weather.p.ma... in this API doc course. Can you point me to the specific place where I have it wrong? Thanks.
Hi Tom. In step 3 of the 'Make a request in Postman' activity it is .../weather/aqi
Thanks for the details. I made the correction.
