php - Getting started with Blackboard -

i have been wanting create blackboard application college manipulates courses , assignments , stuff that. have been researching topic minimal results. created blackboard developer account , have generated public , private keys. went @ sample code , saw api call being made localhost:9877 found here. mean call being made server on machine? found software have download think is. necessary? don't want have run entire server make simple api calls. how done? or not supposed single developers , meant used college system administrators only?

in example, yes, call being made server on machine. doesn't have case. curl can query outside addresses or local ones.

if you're wanting create application entire college using, definitely, 100% system admins part of process. if going tool around bit , maybe use class or two, using xampp , connecting localhost should sufficient.

i get familiar curl before undertaking seriously.
