What is "implementing".... I'd define it as "figuring out the workflow, and storing it in a way that allows reuse". This could be a program written in assembly, or rust, or even python. Or it could be a shell script that calls curl. Or it could just be a set of tokens in the current session. Outside of the computer it could even be a set of processes people do, or a mechanical device.

If it's just a set of tokens in the current session, well then next session it has to figure out the workflow, and then store it in a way to use in the next session.

Seems like maybe you should take your own advice.

How does the definition of "implementing" change the fact that curl quite literally is an api client? It's an implemented api client.

Seems like maybe if you have to use your own custom definition of a word in order to support a point you might not have one. lol.
