(JUST CURIOSITY) Is there any such thing as a "Treehouse API"?

I mean there are APIs of websites like Facebook, Twitter, and others. But is there a teamtreehouse API??? I know this sounds dumb, but.... if there had been one then what could it possibly do?

Thank you, Steven Parker... That's awesome. Now I'm thinking of something else. Can't we just automate the process? I've gone through the whole discussion that Dale Severude, pointed to. And I've been seeing a lot of things like how much we need to think of changes and updating things....

Do you mean automate the topic/color array? You could, but it means at least one more data fetch and this API is a bit slow as it is.

:mailbox_with_mail: Hi, I got your request. But it looks like Dale beat me to it!

But you may want the colors for the 9 topic areas that have been added since Ethan posted his widget on Codepen:

  colors['C#'] = '#9e4d83'; // added here down 17.09.22.sp
  colors['Databases'] = '#eb7728';
  colors['Game Development'] = '#20898c';
  colors['Data Analysis'] = '#645a7e';
  colors['Security'] = '#C66C5D';
  colors['Go'] = '#375eab';
  colors['APIs'] = '#993c50';
  colors['Virtual Reality'] = '#95D26C';
  colors['Quality Assurance'] = '#80438E';
