<i>Federico Cargnelutt</i> has a new post to his blog showing you how to <a href="http://blog.fedecarg.com/2011/09/11/building-a-restful-web-api-with-php-and-apify/">create a REST API</a> for your site using the <a href="https://github.com/apify/apify-library">Apify</a> (complete with a shiny new 1.0 release).
</p>
<blockquote>
Web services are a great way to extend your web application, however, adding a web API to an existing web application can be a tedious and time-consuming task. Apify takes certain common patterns found in most web services and abstracts them so that you can quickly write web APIs without having to write too much code.
</blockquote>
<p>
Some code snippets are included to build a simple REST service - first some examples with user handling then a more fleshed out example of a controller that lets you fetch "post" information as pulled from a model. <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7ptoB0yCsDo">A screencast</a> has also been posted showing the library in action.
