I have a question regarding the use of the getBandwidthDataByDate request using the SoftLayer REST API.
In the documentation it lists 3 parameters for this request, but it's a GET request. Does anyone know how to make this request and/or have an example?
https://api.softlayer.com/rest/v3/SoftLayer_Virtual_Guest/getBandwidthDataByDate/'device_id'.json
I'm not sure where to add the parameters here.(startDateTime, endDateTime, networkType)
And what does the dateTime object look like?
Thanks
This is a POST request, so you need to pass the parameters in "Payload" (I'm using Advanced REST client for Chrome).
Try the following REST request:
https://$user:$apiKey#api.softlayer.com/rest/v3/SoftLayer_Virtual_Guest/$device_id/getBandwidthDataByDate
Method: Post (Copy the below code in "Payload")
{
"parameters":[
"2016-03-10T00:00:00",
"2016-03-15T00:00:00",
"public"
]
}
Note: Replace $user, $apiKey and $device_id with your own information

So basically I need to use the update/revise Rest API to update the fields in the vTiger CRM.
But when I am using the rest API (link : https://help.vtiger.com/article/147111249-Rest-API-Manual) to update the fields, I am getting the error as "400 Unsupported operations: The request cannot be fulfilled due to bad syntax."
My api : endpoint/reviseelement=convert_into_json_string({id:5x369, potentialname:'demo2'})
Also apart from this, I had used the SQL query Rest API, to update the record in the modules, but it is also giving me the same error as: "400 Unsupported operations: The request cannot be fulfilled due to bad syntax."
My Api query : endpoint/query?query=UPDATE Potentials SET potentialname = 'demo2 where id = 5x369;
Also by using the webservice(https://community.vtiger.com/help/vtigercrm/developers/third-party-app-integration.html) rest api I am getting error like : "Permission to perform the operations is denied for id: ".
So how can I use the update api. Can anyone please help?
For web services API (https://community.vtiger.com/help/vtigercrm/developers/third-party-app-integration.html),
When you pass the payload data, make sure you're passing the x-www-form-urlencoded form of data.
Also, make sure you're passing 'element' argument with value like this:
{"id": "10x11471458", "leadsource": "Facebook"}.
if you're still facing this issue, you can share more details and I'll be happy to help you.
If you still need to do this the following should work.
Method: POST
End Point: /revise
Headers: "Authorization: Basic YOUR_TOKEN"
Body:
{
"element": {
"id":"5x369",
"potentialname": "demo2"
}
}

I am using PostMan as part of the testing regime for a WebAPI service development that I am working on. In order for external parties to gain access to our WebAPI service they first need to obtain an access token.
The POST request returns some JSON containing the required access token:
{
"access_token": "anencryptedaccesstoken",
"scope": "am_application_scope default",
"token_type": "Bearer",
"expires_in": 3218
}
I am putting together a series of integration tests which need to emulate the POST calls from POSTMAN. I am currently using System.Net.WebClient to achieve this. I am not sure what I need to do in order to achieve my goal. Here is a function that I am using to try and obtain the access token:
Public Shared Function GetAccessToken(ByVal endpoint As String, wc As WebClient) As String
Dim result As String = ""
Dim data As Byte() = Nothing
'Header information
wc.Headers.Add("Authorization", "Basic <alongencryptedstring>")
wc.Headers.Add("Content_Type", "application/x-www-form-urlencoded")
result = wc.UploadString(endpoint, "POST", "")
Return result
End Function
The 'Body' tab in PostMan contains the following entries:
grant_type - client_credentials
Content_Type - application%2Fx-www-form-urlencoded
In this instance as far as I am aware there is no 'data' element to the PostMan request hence the empty string in my use of UploadString. The function returns the following error:
"The remote server returned an error: (415) Unsupported Media Type."
I am new to web app development so please bear with me, I am finding it difficult to phrase what I think are meaningful question in the context of this post, I hope however that I have ssupplied sufficient information to convey the gist of my problem and for someone to be able to respond appropriately.
Kind Regards

A parse server cloud function is defined via
Parse.Cloud.define("hello", function(request, response) {..});
on the response, I can call response.success(X) and response.error(Y), and that sets the http response code and the body of the response.
But how do I define a different code, like created (201)?
And how do I set the headers of the response?
thanks, Tim
You are allowed to return any valid JSON from response.success(). Therefore, you could create an object with fields such as code, message, and value, so you can set the code, give it a string descriptor, and pass back the value you normally would, if there is one. This seems to accomplish what you need, though you will have to keep track of those codes across your platforms. I recommend looking up standard http response codes and make sure you don't overlap with any standards.
How do I Invoke an HTTP request with a particular URL and process the body of the response as XML?
Information Provided by ShopStyle:
HOW TO USE THE API:
Choose the method that returns the data your application needs. For example, the /products method is used to get products that match a given category or brand.Construct a URL for that method with the appropriate host, method name, and query parameters. Invoke the URL as an HTTP GET.
When the HTTP response arrives, extract the required data elements from the response's body.The rest of this document describes the details of constructing the right URL for each of the API methods. The XML format of the responses may be seen by clicking on the sample URLs shown for each method. The responses in JSON format contain identical information, just in a different format.
SHOPSTYLE API URLS
All ShopStyle API URLs have the following form:
http://api.shopstyle.com/api/VERSION/METHOD_NAMEpid=YOUR_API_KEY&format=FORMAT&...
The METHOD_NAME is taken from the list of methods in the various API shown at left (Press Link To View List of Methods-https://www.shopstylecollective.com/api/overview).
COMMON API PARAMETERS
All methods in the API accept these parameters:
API_KEY (my unique key is ******************)
pid Unique API_KEY string that is assigned to the caller. You can find your API Key on the Account Settings page.
FORMAT
The format of the response. Supported values are:
json - The response is in JSON format with UTF-8 encoding. This is the default if the parameter is absent.
xml - The response is in XML format with UTF-8 encoding.
jsonp - The response is in JSON format with UTF-8 encoding wrapped in a JavaScript method called padding. The padding must be specified with the query parameter 'callback'. Only single expressions (function reference, or object property function reference) are accepted as valid padding.
When set to 1 or 'true' the HTTP status will always be 200. Use the field "errorCode" in the response to detect whether the API Call was successful. By default, when an error occur the HTTP Status of the response will be different than 200
Again I am a beginner, so please provide detailed information on how to retrieve CATEGORY data (Examples: Dresses, Tops, Buttoms, etc) in XML format.**
Thank you!!!
Here's a simple example to get your started. Copy the code below and put it into a file, say "cat.php". Then run it by typing "php cat.php" at a command prompt (assumes you have php on your machine):
<?php
// don't show dom parse errors
libxml_use_internal_errors(true);
// grab the xml from the api
$response = file_get_contents("http://api.shopstyle.com/api/v2/categories?pid=TEST&format=xml");
$doc = new DOMDocument();
$doc->loadHTML($response);
// grab all the categories
$elements = $doc->getElementsByTagName('categories');
foreach($elements as $node){
foreach($node->childNodes as $child) {
// get the name out of the category
$nodes = $child->getElementsByTagName("name");
foreach ($nodes as $name) {
echo $name->nodeValue . PHP_EOL;
}
}
}
Does anybody have a sample with OAuth2_GrantType_UserCredentials and Restler ?
I've tried myself but it's very difficult to understand
Thanks
In your storage class, in my case PDO, you need to look at the following functions. Make sure you have your validations in the first one.
public function checkUserCredentials($email, $password) {}
public function getUserDetails($username) {}
Then
POST https://{your_server}/token
With the following payload (obviously changed to suit your environment):
email=me#myemail.com&
password=mypassword&
grant_type=password
client_id=myclient_id
The important one here is the grant_type, it actually is 'password' for what you are attempting.
Not sure exactly what you're asking. If you have OAuth 2 set up already on your server, you just need to change the grant_type to 'client_credentials' and pass the client_id and client_secret in exchange for the token. For example, on my index.php page, I was able to get a token by passing:
index.php/grant?grant_type=client_credentials&client_id=demoapp&client_secret=demopass
Hope this helps.
