+
+This was the first bit of code I've ever programmed professionally, so please excuse the lack of adherence to best practices and design patterns.
+
+This RESTful API was engineered back in the fall semester of 2014 during my internship, and it performed basic CRUD operations to interface with an open source ticketing application called [OSTICKET](https://osticket.com/). Coded with PHP, it used the cURL extension to send out API REST calls containing JSON data objects to a MySQL database for basic CRUD operations.
+
+For security, it utilized an API key (not included for obvious reasons) as well as an LDAP extension to perform basic authentication.
+
+This API was developed in a [WAMP](https://www.wampserver.com/en/) dev environment, which also came with PhpMyAdmin to host a database schema.
+
+The only file with any actual code in it is [vpua_api.php](https://github.com/KerickHowlett/osticket_api/blob/master/vpua_api.php). The other files are only there for posterity sake.
+
+## Disclaimer
+Since this API wasn't used to access any sensitive information, I received explicit permission from the [University of Louisville](https://louisville.edu/)'s Office of Advancement to use this as a part of my portfolio.
+
+This may be taken down at any time upon their request.
