This may look a dumb question to you. However, I am looking for a way to fetch API Connect internal data i.e. number of invocations of APIs exposed via API Connect , by which client etc. I know, there are individual dashboard/chart within API Connect. But, I want to build a explicit tool to monitor the same leveraging API Connect data.
is it at all possible ?
Thanks in advance
See the KC at https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/SSMNED_5.0.0/com.ibm.apic.apionprem.doc/rapim_analytics_apieventrecordfields.html which will explain how to get the info you want.
Procedure
To obtain analytics data for a Catalog and API provider organization, issue the following call:
GET /v1/orgs/{orgId}/environments/{envId}/events
where
{orgId} is either the URL path segment or the ID of the API provider organization.
{envId} is either the URL path segment or the ID of the Catalog.
The following example shows a call that is issued from a browser and then shows all the event fields in the corresponding response. The call is issued to return two analytics events (limit=2), and includes a next parameter for requesting further events.

Does anyone know why is CorpPass Id a required field for "Update/Delete course run with sessions" API? Since this will be an NRIC, would it be a sensitive information to be used in the request body?
Referring to the API: https://developer.ssg-wsg.gov.sg/webapp/docs/product/6kYpfJEWVb7NyYVVHvUmHi/group/374zmR5D0tQeS87eA1hrLV/api/4i96CWAYWH6uGhkhGMZxHd/version/3egIPKn3WK27liSToemjDV
Based on the API page, I do not see where Corppass ID is being referenced. Do provide more details if you have a technical query for the API.
However, based on the description: API is only available to Corppass users - and if you are able to subscribe to it then you are a Corporate Developer. For this query, it would be more appropriate if you can reach out to their servicedesk for details instead: https://developer.ssg-wsg.gov.sg/webapp/faq?anchor=WhoCanIContactIfIHaveQuestionsAboutTheseAPIs

Register a new app (Currently unavailable)
A question for developers. How soon will fix the registration of apps?
Is it possible to register my application in manual mode?
I need my clientId!
Apparently they haven't given out new client IDs for months (another user says so).
To answer your question though, no. As Soundcloud says when you attempt to register an app, "...we will no longer be processing API application requests at this time."
I'm trying to use the API too. It seems like we either need to use client IDs belonging to other people, wait an unspecified period of time, or there may be select uses of their API that don't require a client ID.
It depends on what kind of content you want to access.
If you need only public content than you can obtain the CLIENT ID from your AJAX requests made to soundcloud. Open network debugger in your browser and explore AJAX requests you should see some queries made to api.... and the query string should contain client id:
https://api-v2.soundcloud.com/tracks/687584815/playlists_without_albums?offset=85&limit=5&client_id=xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Hope that helps.
We are trying to call one of Google's APIs and analyze the data and then display it for the user on our site. We realize we can make calls to the API through our server using php or python, but because of Google's limit, we are looking for an option that will have the API call come from the user, instead of our server. Is there a way for a web app to distribute the requests amongst the users instead of make all the calls from our server?
Thank you very much as this has been a tricky one to Google.
I highly doubt that this is possible. The API request is per API key and you can't provide every user with their own API key.
If the scenario you are trying to achieve requests possibly the same data for multiple users. I highly suggest you save/cache the API request. This will minimize the times your server send API request to google since you saved that request to your server. You can then set an expiration for your saved/cached API request to renew X days.
Scenario
user 1: request data for item 123 from API.
server: sends request to API server, and save
user 2: request data for item 123
server: return saved API response
I want to make a desktop application which will need to use a 3rd party REST API to get information. However, the number of requests is limited by the API Key. If I use one API key for all users, the request quota will be exhausted really fast. Now, is it standard (and legal) to make each user sign up for his/her own API key? How are API keys used in context of open-source projects?
To generate the API key, I want to make a sign up form within the application, where the user puts in his/her information and the application sends those information to the 3rd party website to get an API key. Does that sound right?
In general the use of an API is limited to the requests from one machine and not to the API key most of the time.
Again depending of the type of third party services you are using, but the requests to the service should be established by the client not the server.
For example if you want to know geographic coordinates from a specific place, but obviously you can't ask the user directly for GPS coordinates. So you implement the Google Maps Javascript Library into your app which requests the Google API for the coordinates to the human readable address and returns it to the client. This in turn sends the data to your server.
In this way your server never comes into contact with the third party service.
If you have sensitive data or data which shouldn't be manipulated by the user you have to request from your server directly of course. But take a look into the documentation of the service before hack something together which isn't in the intention of the service provider.
Never ever try to outwit a service provider. They will detect your inappropriate use and block you for all time!
I'm creating a tool for a person to login into their google+ account and to lists all communities they were created or joined. I had googling around for a day and read google+ api references, but I couldn't find any information on:
Url of the API for accessing user's created or joined comminities,
Request parameters to perform such query
My tool has already succeed to perform oauth login and get access_token and ready to make any API call, But now I'm stuck trying to find the right Url and requirements to perform the API call as I wanted.
Please help
There currently is no API method to do this. If you would like to see such a feature added, you can star this feature request.
