I'am searching for a SLA-Reporting SaaS with can check HTTP-API (by HTTP-Post) and UDP-Service (by sending a UDP-Packet and receiving UDP-Package).
And it would be great when maintanance windows can be calculated in the effektive SLA.
Does anyone have a tip?

How to extract data from api and push the output to database by using mulesoft anypoint studio 7.9 version??
This is a pretty common and broad question, refer this to get an idea on how to access REST api in mulesoft and this for Database connectivity. There are tons of free self paced tutorials you can take.
If you have made some progress, post your progress so someone can help with errors you are getting.
Every application that generates dynamic content must have a server whose address is embedded inside the application to enable communication with server.
Now in the case of WhatsApp definitely they have also embed the server's address inside the WhatsApp application. For example someone reverse engineer the WhatsApp apk and found the address of the server, as well as he also found the parameters and all the stuff that the application sends to the server (i-e session, token, authentication key etc etc) for successful communication, so is that mean he can use these same parameters structure and the server address in different third party app to play/communicate with the WhatsApp server? Because server is just an electronic device that works on the digital signals and thats it. Server don't know that these parameters are coming from the authorized WhatsApp apk or from third party apk.
If yes, then don't you guys think that there should be solution to that problem?
If no, then what are the techniques and algorithms they are using to stop requests from unauthorized/fake apps.
I believe not any employee from WhatsApp will answer here to share the algorithm, but i know SOF is full of geeks, if someone knows how WhatsApp stops these kind of issues please share, otherwise i will be still glad to know about the advice and ideas that you guys have in your mind for the best security practices.
How banking, paypal etc and messaging apps including WhatsApp works in that scenario and how they stop the issue that i described above?
Important:
I am not going to reverse engineer the WhatsApp, i am just creating a server and fighting with this issue to be solved to secure my server and only accept request from my app but stop requests from unauthorized/fake apps.
Thanks & respect to all in advance who will contribute.
There is no way to prevent malicious reverse-engineering, resulting in a fake app pretending to be the real thing. While you are working on your server, you need to do defensive programming, that is, your server shouldn't assume that the request was sent via the app. So, if you protect your server against all kinds of malicious and deliberate misuses, then your server is safe.
However, that's easier said than done, because your project is developed by a finite amount of people and - if it becomes successful then - the audience contains a swarm of smart bad people.
You will therefore need to detect a subset of features that you need to absolutely protect against misuses and prioritize testing and improving those, by thinking with the mind of a fictional hacker, who would like to either gain unearned profits or do harm to your project. Schizophrenic, I know, but you need to do that on the server. You also need to improve the security of less than critical features, but at a lower priority and log the requests you get, so if SHTF, then you will have at least a chance to deduce what caused it and how.
If the phone app is in your hands as well, then you might implement some additional authentication for each version, like generating a version token for each user that downloads your app. Since the version token generator algorithm would not be in the hands of hackers, they would have to solve that on a per user basis, which is extremely laborius to solve this for several users if done by hand and if they work it out in a way to make it automatic, their solution would be viable only for a version.
So, there is no 100% accuracy in this area, but you can make life very hard and miserable for people payed to hack through your application.
I am trying to connect to an API using Power BI. I am doing this by clicking on the Get Data then choosing Web, typing the URL address of the site. It comes with the list of API links created when I drill to any of them I cannot see anything. Is this the correct way of doing it? Many Thanks for your help
For querying REST APIs, that's the correct way of doing it yes. But in your case, it might be an issue with the API itself or that you need more details in the query? It's hard to troubleshoot without vieweing the API documentations.
If you then press on Advanced, you can then include further details for your request if needed.
I will include some screenshots below of how to choose the Web connector.
I have a php application using the BigCommerce PHP APi v 3.0, the application sends multiple API request to get some data on the store orders (it's a private application in BC), my problem is that of late more and more request are failing and my application is returning a 500 server error because of it. The behaviour is very odd because at times it works and at others it returns that error... Can anyone help me with this, has this happen to more ppl?
Thanks!
To answer my own question here, here's what i got as a response from BigCommerce support:
Thank you for contacting Bigcommerce and for your report.
The 500 errors you have been seeing in greater number this week last
week are expected as there have been several server performance
issues. A couple due to DDoS attacks, some relating to our object
storage system, and issues with our webhooks queue that specifically
affected the API proxy. We are sorry about these service interruptions
and know that our Technical Operations team and been working hard to
first correct then look to prevent the root issues. Assuming no new
issues crop up we should see a reduction in 500 errors back to more
expected, much less frequent levels.
We do appreciate your feedback on this and for bearing with us while
we work to get things back to normal operating levels. While 500
errors are something that can occur they should not be as frequent as
they have likely been seen this week.
I'm working on a tool in C# that interfaces the JIRA SOAP API. I have read the documentation but I can't find what I'm looking for. Does anyone know if it is possible to link an issue to another one via this api?
PS : Actually, my real need is to convert an issue as a subtask of an issue...
Last time I looked, JIRA's web service wasn't really actively supported or encouraged by Atlassian. It's very much a second-class citizen compared to the web front end, with very basic operations.
Also, it's not a WSI-compliant web service (it's an old Axis-based RPC_encoded service), and so modern web service stacks won't even bind to it. You might want check that your client can perform basic query operations before diving into the depths of the API.
You can actually go pretty far with Jelly scripts, but converting an issue to a subtask then linking it as a subtask... I'm not positive that you can go that far.
