In this tutorial, you'll learn how to create an open-source API that allows users to submit a contact form from a web page. To tackle the issue of spam, we will integrate ChatGPT's API to evaluate and filter out spam submissions. The project uses Node.js with Express for the server, and includes CORS configuration, request body parsing, and HTTP requests for spam detection. You'll be guided through setting up the project, configuring environment variables, implementing the spam check, handling form submissions, and testing the API. By the end of this tutorial, you'll have a functional contact form API that effectively identifies and blocks spam, ensuring only legitimate messages are processed.

In this insightful article, we delve into the innovative journey of developing a state-of-the-art financial advisor chatbot, powered by the synergy of Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) and OpenAI's GPT-4.

Are you tired of managing user logins and passwords for your web application? Do you feel like a medieval gatekeeper with a giant keyring, constantly unlocking doors for users who forget their passwords? Well, have no fear, because JSON Web Tokens (JWT) are here! JWT is a modern solution for authentication that's easier to manage than a hoard of passwords and way less likely to give you carpal tunnel syndrome. With JWT, you can create secure and scalable authentication for your web application, without the hassle of managing user passwords. So grab a cup of coffee (or your preferred beverage), sit back, and let's learn how to use JWT with an Express API.

Good API user experience (UX) is essential for enabling development and product teams to achieve better outcomes.

API specifications are crucial for the success of an API, and AI tools like GPT-3 Instruct or ChatGPT can help developers create high-quality specifications more efficiently and with fewer errors. Leveraging AI for API specification development can improve the quality and usability of APIs and increase the chances of success for API products.

I hit a wall after years of coding and almost walked away. Three mindset shifts pulled me back. Here's the playbook from someone who's been there.

In this article are are going to write the code to create our own cryptocurrency token, leveraging the ERC-20 token smart contract for Ethereum. This is the fourth article in our serious about cryptocurrency and web3 development for Ethereum using Solidity.

When it comes to smart contracts, being able to provide access control is incredibly important. Certain functions, such providing the ability to mint a token, or transfer an asset, need to utilize access control in order to make sure that unauthorized calls to functions cannot be made.

Credit Unions are under constant threat of fraud. According to the Association of Certified Fraud Examiners, financial institutions lose around 5% of annual revenues to fraudulent activity. One solution is to use NFTs for MultiFactor Authentication. An NFT is a completely unique token that is minted on a blockchain and stored in a cryptocurrency wallet.

In this article, we're going to deploy our first Solidity smart contract using the onto a localized blockchain host environment called Ganache. The tool that we will be using to do this is called Truffle. Truffle and Ganache make up a powerful toolset that you will be able to use to automate and test your Solidity smart contracts.

In this article we will write our first solidity smart contract and compile it with the SOLC-JS compiler.

In this article we cover the steps required in order to set up one's development enviroment as a part of a series on how to develop smart contracts and web3 applications for the Ethereum Blockchain and other EVM-Compatible chains.

This article is about my experience creating an MVP for Stormynight.ai, an AI-based application that aims to eradicate writer's block from the face of the Earth. It talks about how the GPT-3 API helped relieve the problem. It also goes into detail about how this led to the idea of StormyNight.ai, an AI program that creates story ideas.

In this article we're going to learn how to build an OAuth service that can be used as a way to authenticate calls to an API or within a microservices architecture. In this project we will be using Python, Flask, Postgres and JWT
