NOT ON THE CURRENT EDITION
This blip is not on the current edition of the Radar. If it was on one of the last few editions, it is likely that it is still relevant. If the blip is older, it might no longer be relevant and our assessment might be different today. Unfortunately, we simply don't have the bandwidth to continuously review blips from previous editions of the Radar.

RESTful APIs have become standard in our industry. A good REST API provides a simple, lightweight means of building customizations and integrations. However, many of the quick, high value integrations we’d like to build require knowing when something happened. Consider building an event API, which, when used in conjunction with a REST API, facilitates simple workflow, notification, and synchronization integrations. These integrations often require no more than 20 or 30 lines of code. Often event APIs take the form of a “web hook” or callback mechanism, but don’t be afraid of using a poll-based Atom style either. An Atom event API scales cheaply and gives the client the power to guarantee delivery.
