Not someone else's API, your own. You make an app. It needs an API that you create (perhaps to sync up scores or something). You don't want to run a machine full time just to accept one score update a day.

Same issue. If one needs to spin this up just for a one-off usage, there's something wrong that needs to be fixed.

I’m not sure how to explain this so you’ll understand. It’s basically how all phone apps are written. It’s a common pattern.

If you made a iPhone game and wanted the high scores to sync to a global scoreboard when the game is over, how would you build that?

What if you only expected 10 players a day?
