HTTP Requests when article is added to Jekyll blog - httprequest

I need to send a HTTP request every time I add an article to my Jekyll blog. What is the best means to achieve this?
Specifically, I wish to be able to add posts on my social media (Twitter,Facebook,Instagram,LinkedIn) every time I add a blog to my website. I felt that IFTTT best suites my needs, but if there are other free alternatives, then Im open for a change.

How to add an HTTP request after an article is added to a Jekyll blog?
There are three options.
Let a service watch your RSS feed, like IFTTT or Zapier.
Write a plugin that does this for you on build time.
Call the URL manually after you post your blog.

postman collection sharing options for an enterprise?

I recently developed a new REST API for a company. I've created a Postman collection including some sample requests for real-world scenarios. I need to share this collection with other members of the organization.
I found a "Publish Docs" menu option for Postman collections which is pretty cool. It publishes web pages of the documentation and then displays the url for where the documentation can be accessed:
https://documenter.getpostman.com/view/1401123/RWML234Hd
One issue is that the documentation is publicly available to anyone who has the url. Meaning that anyone on the internet could potentially access the documentation. This is a corporate API and should only be accessible within the organization.
Another issue is that it appears that the published url changes every time I "Publish Docs." That's a problem b/c I need to provide a static url for Postman examples on the corporate intranet page listing API resources. My manager won't spend any money on this. I like the documentation feature but:
The documentation should have a static url
The documentation should not be accessible by anyone on the internet who gets a hold of the url
Would I need to pay license costs to satisfy the 2 requirements listed above? What would be my best free option? The default free option for me would be to save off the collection json to a shared drive on the network.
I've been asking this very question for a while now. Finally decided to implement a simple tool that generates an HTML document similar to what postman does.
hope this helps -

Add dropbox webhook by code

We're exploring dropbox api reference. Concretly, we're exploring webhook possibilities.
We're not quite to know how to specify a webhook url by code.
We are lokking for a way to add this webhook url avoiding user has to do it manually.
I hope I've explained so well.
It's not possible to programmatically register a Dropbox webhook URI. We'll consider it a feature request.
Developers should register their webhook URI(s) manually via the App Console. Those webhook URIs will stay registered and will be used for all users connected to the app.

How do you create web pages via the Stores/Content API in BigCommerce?

The API Documentation states that the Content API can be used to:
Edit and publish blog posts and web pages, improve SEO, and drive traffic to stores.
I'm working on migrating a site from a different platform onto BigCommerce. I was able to migrate all of the blog posts fairly easily using the API, but the documentation for the web pages resource is completely missing.
Any help here would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
This API endpoint doesn't currently exist. It is, however, in progress. I don't have an available ETA to provide around this. This wording on the docs is misleading.

Shopify webhook application

I was thinking of implementing a shopify application.the purpose of application is that when it is installed on any store.Application would set the HTTP POST request URL itself and when there is any order placed on that store,App will send us the information via POST.
Is that possible using webhooks?
beacuse i cant find any way to programattically using the webhooks.
Have you read the API docs for webhooks? All it talks about is using them programmatically.

Are you running into some specific issue?

do I have to register as a shopify partner?

(I am reposting this question here because I tried on the google news group and got no responses.)
I need to build a shop for my client, and the client already has a domain and a web site. I need to integrate e-commerce functionality in to the site. This is going to be done by sending AJAX requests to the API.
my question is whether I need to get a partner account for this? I am not yet going to write an app that people would install, I am just building a store for my client. how is it done?
You do not need a Shopify Partner account for this. You can instead create a "Private application" within the normal shopify admin, which will give you the api credentials you need to make stuff happen.
This article on the shopify wiki gives a good overview of the process for getting started (the first sections are most relevant in your case):
