Evaluation

Task

You, as an advanced user, notices that your existing API is too costly to use anymore. Therefore, you want to get rid of it, so that this API is never used for a given function again. Delete an existing API based on the following information:

In the list, select the API weather_for_location from Aeris Weather, click on “Show Detail” and switch to edit mode. Imagine, that this API costs $2 each call and you have to call it twice a hour to monitor e.g. the weather very regularly. Quite costly! Delete the API by clicking on “Delete API” and confirm the warning pop-up.

Now, this API should not be listed in the Developer Suite anymore. Feel free to try it out!
