Rally integration with SharePoint

Is it possible to get rally data to SharePoint online list by doing a Rest API call or is there a way to integrate rally to SharePoint.
Please let me know the available option
One option is to write a custom app, create an API Key and embed it into sharepoint via an iFrame.
More details can be found in the SDK Docs: https://rally1.rallydev.com/docs/en-us/saas/apps/2.1/doc/index.html#!/guide/embedding_apps-section-develop-the-app
Edit: I should note that you need to find a way to obscure the apiKey from users. The apiKey should only have read access and should be completely hidden

Web app idea directions

I have an idea for a web app project, however, due to not having any programming knowledge, I'm first asking here for directions. Essentially, I wonder if the idea is realistic and what the most effective way could be for me to tackle it.
I want to combine several open-data sources, some in the form of API's (e.g. Google maps), others in the form of statistics in Excel sheets. Like a Mashup of different sources? The idea is to use the data to perform some data crunching and in effect provide some insights from this data in an aggregated way. I have previously played around with dashboards during an internship and I am attracted by the idea to maybe produce a Single page application for my idea with some visualisation. Any thoughts on this?
I have looked at the following services online, but I have no idea if they can help me produce a web app which aggregates different data sources and that allows for nice presentation:
Zoho Creator,
QlikSense,
Sproutcore,
Caspio
Any thoughts on this are highly appreciated!
Best regards

how to list all the projects of a specific workspace of a specific user in asana api

I need to select a user and then list all the projects that the user is working on. Also how can this be done with a specific workspace of the user? What would the url look like?
Also how do we access the teams that are created in asana using the asana api?
The documentation is decent.
Most notably, you're probably looking for endpoints /users, /projects, and /projects/[project-id]/tasks. To the best of my knowledge the API provides no way list all the projects a user is working on. You have to create that list yourself by iterating through all the tasks on a project.

How do I share a rally dashboard with a single team

I've created a couple of dashboards in my rally environment and since I cannot make them project viewable I would like to share the dashboard without sharing it with the entire workspace.
Is this possible? If so how?
Unfortunately, shared pages in Rally get shared with everyone and cannot be set to be visible at the project level. You will need to share with the desired users which apps and settings (or code if it is a custom HTML app) you are using in order for them to be able to re-create these themselves.
You could always post this as an idea at https://ideas.rallydev.com to get visibility for the functionality you are looking for.

Extract data from RallyDev and present them on a screen

I am currently inverstigating some solution on how to extract data from RallyDev and present the data on a big screen in the office for the organization. The information I would like to display is "burndown chart pr. team" (we have 5 SCRUM teams); Top 5 tasks in progress by the indiviual teams and the iteration status ex "7 days remaning in the sprint (22/07/2013 to 02/08/2013).
We have presentation tool for our big sceens called "beats" which can display pictures from a network folder and the images are changed every 7 secound. The idea is to create a image with the information descriped above in one slide(image) pr. team.
My question is now have these images can be created, does any of you know or have expirences with a solution like this? or any recommendation for me:)
So far I have played around with Ruby to extract data into excel and created a macro in excel which created the burndown chart and list the tasks and the iteration status. But it's more at static solution, where have to do stuff manual every day. I was more looking for an automated solution with a windows schduler or somethink else.
Let me know if you have any thoughts on a solution and thanks for taking time to read this.
You may explore writing apps using Rally App SDKs. There are two SDKs: the older AppSDK 1 based on Dojo framework and the new AppSDK 2 based on ExtJS framework:
Rally WS API documentation and object model
Documentation on App SDK 1 and App SDK 2
How to run apps outside of Rally
LoginKey functionality which predates AppSDK2. You may use it with AppSDK 1. It allows displaying Rally standard reports and custom apps outside of Rally without having to login. It uses encoded read-only (viewer) user credentials.
Lookback API allows to see what any work item or collection of work items looked like in the past. This is different from using WS API directly, which can provide you with the current state of objects, but does not have historical data. LBAPI works with AppSDK 2
