Running through December 8...

The last challenge was one of the most popular yet, excited to see what folks do with this one.
What a cool idea! So, basically, it is like having variables in the cloud that you can manage and then in your code you can add the logic to test features, depending on the value that has on the cloud. π€―
If it weren't for all this study and work pressure, I swear Iβd jump into this challenge right away. I really, really want to join, but I just can't right nowπππ
@shafayeat perhaps now you can!
Good News! Deadline Extended for the DevCycle Feature Flag Challenge.

I already found a fix. I had to experiment with common standards of authorizing API requests to find a way around the grave omission of API request parameters for making and viewing changes in the DevCycle API documentation - docs.devcycle.com/management-api
I will be sending a link to a gist containing a working code sample as well as mentioning this omission in my submission soonest
lets go!
Hello, I'd like to request for a sample API request code containing the body and headers required by DevCycle's API.
Their docs doesn't contain any hint at all for the API request parameters except for when obtaining an auth token at the start of the page.
Not sure there's enough time to iron it out, but I thought of making a digital shishi-odori as a metaphor for automatic load shedding controlled by feature flags.
We just extended the deadline :)

All the best for all the participants π
Awesome!! π
Good luck everyone!
Hi, I have a question, Api allstar category says - "making full use of the DevCycle API". What does it mean, does it mean i should use all Api's without missing anyone or just effectively use the ones that are essential for my app?** DEV's** can you help me here? Thanks in advance.
Hey @coding_claws, our intention was just creative use of the API broadly. It's not necessary to attempt to use more endpoints than what is needed for your use case.
Hmm
First of all I want to know what is "feature flag".
Think of it as a way to enable or disable features in the frontend (including mobile apps) by changing a configuration in the backend. This way, users can experience your app in many different "flavors" without you creating a new app release.
Iβm not understanding the challenge π what are supposed to do π€²π½
Great job
π Awesome!! π

let's go
Is someone interested in teaming up?
