I looked at the support from ArangoDB, and google search, but it did not help me much...I am fresh in these topic, (but Polish proverb says that you should not be ashamed to ask questions).
my situation is as follows, I have quite a very extensive database, which I created by GUI-HTTP-ArangoDB (by importing further crafted JSONs, as collections of Verexs & Edges) I would like to link this database and dynamically depending on the query, display the resutat, only hmm I do not know how to connect it. is like a tutorial on the arango page to Node, but there is nothing to write like where and what to create, just they only described the next command that do something .. ech ...
I am looking for examples, or a step-by-step guide/tutorial..
I am asking you for help / support..
how in it, to find himself..
Well, there are two options I would use to connect Arango to GraphQL:
1 Use the Foxx micro services that live within Arango to create a Rest API. Then you can use wrap the Rest api in GraphQL. Here is the tutorial for creating the Foxx micro services :
https://docs.arangodb.com/3.3/Manual/Foxx/GettingStarted.html
And here is the tutorial to wrap the the rest api in GraphQL:
https://www.prisma.io/blog/how-to-wrap-a-rest-api-with-graphql-8bf3fb17547d/
2 Have the GraphQL Server be part of the Foxx microservices instead of the Rest Api as described here
https://docs.arangodb.com/3.3/Manual/Foxx/GraphQL.html
And here

Hope this helps!

There is bit of a confusion, wondering if somebody can help me with this.
Here is an example which is a year old and uses goapp with polymer and endpoint
https://github.com/googlesamples/cloud-polymer-go
Here is a recent example using gcloud
https://github.com/GoogleCloudPlatform/golang-samples/tree/master/appengine_flexible/endpoints
Both are different as google changed its approach.
As per second example, I am able to create endpoint functions which uses json for input and output. However there are 2 problems
1st. It is throwing error if I put functions in different file under same package. It works when I run go run .go. but then I dont understand how app.yaml come into picture. I think this url /_ah/spi/. should work
2nd. I am using postman app to check the request and response from endpoint. Is there a better way? I thought google does provide a platform to test endpoint.
Is there any example which implements examples similar to 1st one with new libraries?
looking forward for your help. Thanks.
By going through this API documentation page, is it possible to tell which database is being used in the backend?
Zomato API
MySQL would require a php file on the server to handle the requests, make queries, pack data in JSON format then send it back to the device. But in this case parameters are passed to .json files. Please advice
There is no way to "see through" to what the backend service actually used to provide you with the information you may query for. Are you sure you want to continue using this product? The site notes that Zomato will no longer be available to individuals, and that your API key will be disabled if you don't use it monthly.
I haven't read the specs for that particular API. But in general, is it possible to tell what database is being used on the back end by studying an API? No. That's the whole point of an API: It's supposed to shield the API-user from implementation details.
It's probably true that in many cases you could make reasonable guesses about what tools are being used on the back end. Like if you see that the API gives you a syntax for doing comparisons that looks exactly like the proprietary compare function used in Foobar SQL and not found in any other database product, that would be a strong clue. But even something like that wouldn't be proof. Maybe originally they were using Foobar SQL, then they switched to another database, but to maintain compatibility they wrote code to translate the Foobar SQL compare to standard SQL syntax.
Here is an excerpt from an assignment I am currently doing:
Build a dummy app that:
Contains a REST API that operates over a single resource.
Contains a Backbone client that consumes that API and can list, show, create, update, and remove that resource.
My understanding was that the term "consume" implies total coverage of the API's exposed ressources. However, the assignment says "consumes that API and can [CRUD] that resource".
Is that sentence redundant or is my understanding of the term wrong?
(Bonus question: why searching Google for this question returns countless language-specific tutorials for "consuming an API" but none explain what the term actually means?).
To consume an API means to basically use any part of it from your application.
Consuming an API here means creating a client which can send requests to the API that you build.
It appears that you need to create and API which can handle Create, retrieve, update and delete (CRUD) of a resource. For instance if your REST api is to create a blog, your API should handle CRUD functions for the object/resource blogpost.
POST - Create a blog post
GET - Retrieve a blog post
PUT - Update a blog post
DELETE - Delete a blog post.
It is about the direction of the app's interaction with API - it either provides an API, or consumes it, so there are providers and consumers of API, and this is just a less general and ambiguous term than 'using'.
Simply consuming an API means using it in your application.
For, e.g., GET request to https://someapi/Users will give you all the users.
You need to request this URL https://someapi/Users to get all the users and then you can use it into your application.
I always think about Albert Einstein's quote of "If you can’t explain it to a six year old, you don’t understand it yourself." when someone asks a question that you might take for granted due to technical experience you have on a subject.
I think the following medium.com article does an excellent job explaining it: How do you explain API to a 5-year-old?
simply means : using the API.
You can do it with HTTP method (GET, POST, PUT, DELETE..) using something like Postman (Tool) or maybe you have a client app/library that calls these methods implicitly.
Since i HATE the fact that i have to run VM with IE in order to connect to ravendb web (made with horrible silverlight) i'm loking to use ravendb's http API. So far, only conclusion is that it's docs is horrible and i can't find some options.
Right now, i would need to get the list of index-es. in certain database. However, i can't find that as an option in official docs. http://ravendb.net/docs/2.0/http-api
Does that option exist and how to get that list?
Endpoint for index list:
curl http://localhost:8080/indexes/?start=0&pageSize=256
I have a website that I made using ruby on rails at www.tradespring.net. I want to create a bunch of instances, like www.tradespring.net/electronics, www.tradespring.net/automotive, ect. where these sub-sites work exactly the same as the original but each have their own set of posts, but users are the same across all sub-instances.
Where could I start looking? I don't even know good keywords to google at the moment.
You can start with two best webcasts created by Ryan lately which explains creating multitenancy application in Rails.
Multitenancy with Scopes
Webcast: http://railscasts.com/episodes/388-multitenancy-with-scopes

Multitenancy with PostgreSQL
Webcast: http://railscasts.com/episodes/389-multitenancy-with-postgresql

[update] Oh! I missed that these are pro webcasts. Though you can check source code of these webcasts.
