How to make a API?

How do I make an API?
I've made this:
https://raw.github.com/IAmWolfie/wolfieAPI/master/wolfieAPI

and put this into my computer and used this code:

local c = http.get("https://raw.github.com/IAmWolfie/wolfieAPI/master/wolfieAPI")
passcode( test,right,2 )


And I get this:
c:2:attempt to call nil

- Save your API to a file on y computer or turtle, say "wolfieAPI"
- In your main program use os.loadAPI ("wolfieAPI")
- reference the functions in your API by using your API name like that: wolfieAPI.passdoor (params)

if you want to download your API everytime you start your program (which I wouldn't do) you would have to http.get it and save it to a file first. If you just http.get your API it is just strings in a table. These cannot be referenced as code afaik…

See examples here: http://computercraft...?title=Http.get)
and here: http://computercraft.info/wiki/Fs.open

After that you should be able to load it with os.loadAPI…

EDIT: Btw… "attempt to call nil" when using http.get means that the http functions are disabled (the default) in the computercraft config file…

You made the function local to the API, so your script couldn't access it even if you used the right function name or loaded the API correctly (… neither of which being the case).

Also remember that quotation marks are important when trying to pass values to functions, as they mark the line between variables and strings.

This tutorial may be worth a read. Bear in mind, however, that APIs are generally only useful if you intend to use the same functions with multiple scripts - there's not much point to them otherwise.

Thanks, I got it working.
