OK, but I would rather see a service than just an API. Merely API is not enough for building things.

This project exposes a HTTP interface that proxies stuff to an underlying boltdb instance. Host it yourself and it's suddenly a service. Or am I misunderstanding your point?

[dozzie]

Oh, so the project is a service, after all. OP should have described it as so.

[abiox]

even if you pursue some notional distinction, it's unclear how an api can be made manifest without (being?) a service. what do you mean?

The whole Oracle v Google case ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oracle_America,_Inc._v._Google.... ) is about an API (distinct from executable code).
