Is JWT call necessary for each api call? - api

I need to integrate my website to a third party api "getBooks".This API requires JWT token.I use the "getJWT" api to get the token.My question is whether i need to call getJWT api before every call to getBooks api ? Is there a better way to code this problem?
Website description - It does not have a login feature. Customers can browse books and buy any book without login.JWT is only required by third party for their api.

Using WhatsApp API to find out if a number has an account

I'm trying to use the WhatsApp API, especially "POST /v1/contacts" at this url "https://developers.facebook.com/docs/whatsapp/api/contacts/".
But actually I don't know which url to use, I tried "https://api.whatsapp.com/v1/contacts" but I got a 404 Not Found Status.
I do my queries on postman.
Has anyone ever used it.
Thank you.
To achieve your goal, you'd need to try a different method because the API you're trying to call is not a public API, it's a private API.
Access private API is only available to verified Whatsapp for Business accounts.
It's Whatsapp For Business service provider you choose and successfully applied for.

How to send Trustpilot invitations through Trustpilot API?

In our app we are using this API call to retrieve our average rating score and display it on our website:
https://api.trustpilot.com/v1/business-units/{{BUSINESS_UNIT_ID}}/?apikey={{API_KEY}}
This works great.
Now if we want to send an invitation to rate our services to one of our customers, we use a very similar API call:
https://invitations-api.trustpilot.com/v1/private/business-units/{{BUSINESS_UNIT_ID}}/invitations?apikey={{API_KEY}}
Unfortunately, this doesn't work. We are getting this error:
{"fault":{"faultstring":"Invalid access token","detail":{"errorcode":"oauth.v2.InvalidAccessToken"}}}
What are we missing here?
We can't see why our API key works for the first call, but not for the second.
Thanks for any help.
In the first API call you are calling a public endpoint. For all public endpoints API key is enough because you are not accessing restricted data.
For your second API call (the invitations one), you are calling a private endpoint.
For all private APIs you need to authenticate yourself using the OAuth2 flow and include the access token in your request.
You can read more about the flow at:

How to save card details using Braintree?

Currently, I'm using the following third-party libraries to integrate with Braintree:
https://github.com/ferndopolis/react-native-braintree-card
https://github.com/kraffslol/react-native-braintree-xplat
But I'm not able to find any method to save card details. Is there a rest API call available to save card details?
Full disclosure: I work at Braintree. If you have any further questions, feel free to contact
support.
Both of the third-party libraries you linked to are wrappers for our client SDKS and have documentation that show that you will need to return the resulting payment method nonce to your server-side to use. A payment method nonce is a secure, one-time-use reference to payment information. It's the key element that allows your server to communicate sensitive payment information to Braintree without ever touching the raw data.
Braintree does not have a REST API at this moment, however you can use one of our server SDKS to run a Customer Create API Call, which will save that customer's payment information into the Braintree Vault. Additionally, you could run a Payment Method Create API Call as well to save the card details.

Gate way URL for eBay API

Help me clarify terminology regarding the HTTP API.
Gateway URL and endpoints are the same thing, correct?
This is just the place to make a GET or POST call, correct?
Now for my question. It seams for each of the eBay API has its own gateway.
The Shopping API gate way is http://open.api.ebay.com/shopping?
I'm assuming the fallowing:
Finding: http://open.api.ebay.com/finding?
merchandising: http://open.api.ebay.com/merchandising?
... and so on.
Is this correct? or am I misunderstanding something.
Yes, the end point is the gateway. Each API has its own endpoint/gateway url. You would think that eBay would name their endpoints with the schema you provided, but they didn't. You will need to click on "Making a Call" after selecting the API you want the endpoint for in the documentation.
Example:
Here is the endpoint documentation for the Trading API, Shopping API, and Finding API.
Also you should know that not every endpoint is going to require the same info. For the trading API you are going to need a Token from the seller as well as your APP ID, whereas the shopping and trading API only needs the APP ID.

How do I add a PayPal API request call?

We are using Woocommerce along with PayPal Pro on our website.
We are using the CloudIQ basket abandonment system and need to add a PayPal API request call to be made after the customer completes the checkout process.
Does anybody know if this is possible in PayPal and how I do this?
Thanks
Not quite sure about your exact request. But if you are referring to the data collection API call in PayPal, you can refer to the link below about PayPal Instant Payment Notification (IPN).
https://developer.paypal.com/webapps/developer/docs/classic/ipn/integration-guide/IPNIntro/
In addition, PayPal have Classic API and REST API for your reference in the link below.
