+  API
+  Author: Jack Lukic
+  Notes: First Commit May 08, 2012
+
+  These are modules which bind API functionality to the DOM
+
+  Requires: nada
+
+  Initialization:
+  $('.button')
+    .apiButton({
+      success: function() {}
+    })
+  ;
+
+  in our example api is automapped to an object literal
+  @ quirky.config.endpoint.api
+
+  HTML:
+  <div class="button" action="follow" data-id="5">
+
+  URL        : quirky.config.endpoint.api.follow
+  Given Value: /follow/{$id}/
+  Sent Value : /follow/5/
+
+  (4 ways to map api endpoint, each will be looked for in succession)
+  url mapping order:
+    first  : defined in plugin init as url (arbitrary url)
+    second : defined in plugin init as action (action in obj literal grouping 'api')
+    third  : defined in data-url
+    fourth : defined in data-action
+
+  beforeSend:
+  this callback can be used to modify request settings before XHR
+  it also can be used to look for for pre-conditions to prevent API
+  call by returning "false"
