hilite.me is a light weight website made by Alexander Kojevnikov , used to format source code from various programming languages into formatted HTML snippets which can be added to blogs, articles, and other web pages as needed. I personally use the API to format the source code snippets in this blog, and it has greatly reduced the time taken to complete an article, much thanks to the creator. In this article, an automated way of using the hilite.me API through Python and a simple HTML document is created with formatted code snippets.
