I have a website with information contained in several mySQL tables. This info is accessible via a REST API. I need to make a small change to this by adding two more fields to the response. But, this API was written by a firm that now has long lead times for modifications.
Is there a way I can make these changes myself or does the original developer need to do this? I have the ability & knowledge to make changes to the website itself and I have done many of these over the years, but I'm not familiar with API programming. Where do I find the code on the server that runs the API? Is this generally editable or is it 'wrapped' in a DLL? Or, am I completely off base?
Thanks for the help.
