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 know, we have dedicated API documentation for Shipping and different services.
But there is no endpoint to get all UPS Shipments at once using API.
Can anyone provide me the endpoint with example?
Thank you in advance.
I had the same question and after a long email thread with UPS Support they confirmed there is no way to grab historical shipment information.
The only option they gave is maybe using QVM which also has it's limitations.
That would be correct, Quantum View Manage and Quantum View Data would be your best available option to view the outbound information. You can have it build a report with address, name and tracking number. Contact your local UPS Account Representative for in depth details if you would like to explore that option. There is a Quantum View API however it would first need to be setup via your local Rep with the website. You are still manually searching the docs however for the information at hand when reviewing the reports. It will not pull it up or give a simple error if what you are looking for is not found. They just pull information all or nothing.
I'm trying to automate a workflow using Google Data Studio. Requirements are simple - I need to be able to programatically copy a templated report (from a Python/Java application) and import/set a data source (Google Sheets doc) for that report. Nothing more fancy (no visualisation creation, formatting, or anything graphical, etc.).
Sources here, here and here (last two require Google Cloud Console account) suggest an API does exist (and detail a setup process to access it). However, after going through this setup process, I can find no details or documentation of any functionality, and consequently have been unable to progress.
Can anyone authoritatively state whether:
1. There does exist any API functionality for GDS? and
2. If not, are there plans to develop such? (since the Google links above suggest there is, I'm wondering if this means it's in the pipeline for near future).
The only directly related SO posts I can find are here and here. The first suggests there isn't, but doesn't account for the Google links I've provided above which suggest there is; the second doesn't really cover the same use case, so doesn't provide answers applicable here.
FYI - I've posted a Google Community forum post here asking essentially the same question.
If anyone is able to help out, that would be greatly appreciated :) Many thanks in advance for your time and help! :)

There does exist any API functionality for GDS?
Not in the way you are expecting. The three links you posted all refer to the current Data Studio API. The only things you can do with that API is view your Data Studio assets and update permissions. That's it. This API won't let you create/copy/modify reports or data sources.
If not, are there plans to develop such?
Not in the near future. You can make/vote for this feature request in the official tracker. More popular feature requests are usually prioritized in roadmaps.
That being said, a lot of the API use cases can be resolved using combinations of Community Connectors, config parameters, direct linking, viewer's credentials, Linking/Integration API etc.
how do i get information from this page 'https://console.cloud.google.com/iam-admin/quotas' programmatically, i couldn't find any API service to do this, is there a way to do it?
Currently, this is not possible to achieve, however, there's a feature request to consider having this functionality.
Has anyone ever tried to integrate QlikView BI application with SimPro business management software? If so, would be interested to know if you were successful and if so how?!!
Dorey.
Jonathan from simPRO here.
I'm not aware of any clients that have an integration with QlikView but it is a well respected reporting platform with a myriad of ways to extract data from other systems.
A quick scout around their documentation tells me that the easiest option for integration would using their QVSource API connector.
Details are here: http://www.qvsource.com/Connectors-For-QlikView/General-JSON-XML-SOAP-Web-API-Connector-For-QlikView
For simPROs API you would use this in "POST" methodology - ie: supplying the post data as per our API docs at: http://api.simpro.co . Our API uses OAuth authentication and there is dome detail and examples on using that with QVsource at: http://wiki.qvsource.com/General-Web-Connector-For-QlikView.ashx
Whilst we may not be able assist technically with setting up the QlikView system our technical support department can assist with any queries you have in regards to our API calls etc...
Hope that is of some help!
I am going to try and respond to your dilemma, while being a QV expert for the last 8 years I am not too familiar with simpro, however I did quickly browse through their API docs here -> http://api.simpro.co/
I have noticed that they support 3 formats, namely soap, json and xml. For qlikview you would choose xml. I have also noticed that they support 2 authentication methods namely basic auth and O Auth. IN this scenario you would be using basic auth (so you can pass a username and password via the url) as this will also work perfectly with Qlikview.
In your Edit Script, you will notice a "Data from files"-> Web Files, then in the popup you can enter the url from where you would retrieve your information from.
Note you need to pass format=xml to the url, along with your basic auth username and password to the relevant url (which you will find in simpro's docs), for any other format you will need QVSource which has a fee attached.
I hope this has pointed you in the right direction.
I'm working on a project to connect Google Adwords with QlikView 11, i want to know if there's another way to do that without using the QVSource Connector which is not free.
I did some research and i found Adwords API, but i don't know how to use it.
If you have an idea please help me.
Thank you,
You need OAuth2 to authenticate against Adwords. Qlikview support only very simple authentication method (against web sites). Also QV doesn't support data in JSON format.
For this reasons you are unable to connect to Adwords directly from QV. You will need some tool/service that connect and extract the data in format the QV can load.
QVSource is working on this principle. Taking the authentication, extraction and transformation (if needed) of the data to csv format.
So you need to go with QVSource or write an app that will "link" QV with Adwords.
