Yep, newbie question here, but it's bothering me for some days now, trying to read all the docs on google developer site, but I'm spinning in circles.
I've created a Fusion Table and set the access to 'public' and got an ID.
According to Goolge I should have an API key to access the data from a REST-call. Google suggests:
Go to the Google Developers Console.
Select a project, or create a new one.
In the sidebar on the left, expand APIs & auth. Next, click APIs. In the list of APIs, make sure the status is ON for the Fusion Tables API.
In the sidebar on the left, select Credentials.
I can do that all I've got an API-key, but how does this relates to the Fusion Table I've created? Can I use that API key for
this is really simple API key give the ability to do the most of mysql request type SELECT,INSERT,UPDATE,DELETE using GET and POST also PUT request , for GET you can use the navigator for that but the most effective way for your case is the use of curl librairie for php or jaira for java ... so you can send post or put request with a simple script.
So, what you can do with fusion table is automating the process of manipulating data and the option to share those data with someone else.
Edit: procedures changed since this post. Your mileage may vary
Head to the Google Developers Console
Create a project
Under Explore other services click "Enable APIs and get credentials like keys"
Search for Fusion Tables
Enable Fusion Tables API as a service under APIs & Auth --> APIs
You probably want the browser key. Grab the API key.
Happy Mapping...
API-keys are not related to specific Fusion Tables, they are related to projects.
You may use the key to request data from any public and downloadable FusionTable(not only your own Tables ), the key basically is used to identify your project(google-account) .
So when you have problems with requesting data from a public table, check if the table is downloadable too(click on the table-name on top-left->reuse access->allow downloads ).

I want to do a search within a sheet.
I manage to get a list of entries (https://sheets.googleapis.com/v4/spreadsheets/{spreadsheetsID}/values/1?alt=json&key={API KEY})
but am unable to perform a search.
I use API KEY Is it possible to get an example?
Unfortunately, there is no method in Sheets API which lets you perform a search.
This has already been reported on Google's Issue Tracker here. I suggest you star the issue and eventually add a comment as well stating that you are interested in this feature.
I was given a key which happens to be a .json file to access a bigquery data but I have no idea where to put it and how I should use it. I tried to go to the bigquery console but I can't seem to find where I can place the key to view their data. I have no experience using bigquery so I tried to search for any tutorials to no avail.
I can assume that you have created service account key with assigned roles (i.e. roles/bigquery.admin) and downloaded a JSON file that contains your key.
You will need to use it only whenever you decide to use BigQuery API by using client libraries, such as Python or Java. As you can see in the documentation, you need to set the environment variable GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS to the path of the JSON file that contains your service account key to be able to access Bigquery resources.
When using the web UI in the Google Cloud Console, you don't need to use JSON key file. You only need to take care of assigning appropriate roles to the service account you have created. Please take a look for the following documentation.
Additionally, I would like to share with you the introduction to authentication, which is really important.
I hope you find the above pieces of information useful.
I've been using Netlify for storing 100% of my app (both frontend and backend) for the last three months. So far, so good.
The only problem now is that I need to store a custom property for each user (say, the phone number), and apparently Netlify Identity doesn't support this (only email, name and roles https://www.netlify.com/docs/identity/).
I don't want to change the whole app to migrate to another hosting provider just for this detail (actually, I can't, it's for a client and I just don't have time), because it works great, but at the same time I need it.
Can you think of any workaround to this? The less "hackish", the better, but I understand that I'm going beyond the intended use of Netlify Identity.
So it actually does look like Netlify's GoTrue API has a specific endpoint for updating custom user data. After a user is created, you can update metadata by including it as "data" within an authenticated PUT request to /user.
PUT /user
{
"data" {
"custom_key": "value",
}
}
See https://github.com/netlify/gotrue for more info.
There are dozens of ways to do this, so I'll talk about two generally applicable ways now:
the most "generally capable" one is probably using lambda functions: https://www.netlify.com/docs/functions . This lets you run dynamic code, such as "store to database hosted elsewhere" or "email to our office manager to update a spreadsheet" or even "commit to our closed git repo so it's available in-code" (last one is probably a worst practice, but is possible). You can similarly use a function to read that data back out without exposing API tokens (code example: https://github.com/netlify/code-examples/tree/master/function_examples/token-hider)
you could have the data gathered via a form submission (https://www.netlify.com/docs/form-handling). I'd probably use zapier.com to receive a notification of the form submission (https://www.netlify.com/docs/form-handling/#notifications). Zapier can of course connect to just about anything on the planet :) . Getting the data back out if you want to show it in your UI is a bit more of a challenge, but you could use the above mentioned functions if you need to connect to some private data store to pull it out. Or for an MVP, just not show it, only let people enter/update it ;)
I am building a Javascript Web application with a Domino back end, using the Domino DDS REST api to do POST, PUT, and GET operations against the database. I want to use Authors and Readers fields in documents to control which users can see which documents and to give users with Author access in the ACL the ability to edit documents they have created. When doing a POST of a new document (implemented by the save() method of a new Backbone model) is there a way to designate one or more fields as Readers or Authors?
Doing a GET on an existing document returns a JSON object with an attribute named '#authors' containing the names and roles in the Authors fields. Is this attribute read/write?
Can I populate #authors with the desired values before doing a POST to have these values control author access?
My colleague says the Domino REST api makes no provision for setting Authors and Readers fields, and that this functionality can only be done through Java servlets. Is this right?
I'm not familiar with the Domino DDS REST API, but from what I gather it is doubtfull that when POSTing a document, you get to chose the type of the fields. I suspect they all end up as text.
What you could do however is to link the action of your form to a Domino agent which, using the backend Java or LotusScript API, will be able to control precisely the final shape of your document, hereby allowing you to fully utilize the powerfull security model of Domino.
Nevertheless, keep in mind that at some point, your users will have to authenticate against the Domino Directory. Depending where your users originally log in, you may need to talk to your Domino administrator to sort out a Single Sing-On scheme linked to your other directory.
Alternatively, you could take advantage of the fact that Domino is also a web server and an application server : you can build your HTML form in there, starting with a Domino form (simple) or an xPage (a bit more complex).
You may want to have a look here.
Some would say that you could even build your whole application in Domino, as using it as a mere back-end data repository is akin to using a Rolls-Royce to ferry potatoes, but I suppose that you and your organization have good reasons to do so.
Finally you could also completely ditch Domino and use another nosql database like MongoDB, but that would only displace your access control problem.
You can post data back to Domino and nominate a form to use. If you use the 'computewithform=true' parameter and the form design includes the authors/reader fields you need, this will set the field flags correctly and automatically.
I have just signed up to have access to espn api and I just want to access a specific teams data but an error message appears saying "timestamp" :"2014-04-06T22:36:39Z","message" :"Improper API URI","status" :"error","code" :404"". The link I'm putting in with my api key is "http://api.espn.com/v1/sports/soccer/english-premier-league/arsenal?apikey=****". I know you need an id with the team but where do I get that from and I don't think the link recognizes 'english-premier-league'.
Have you tried using the online API testing tool at http://developer.espn.com/io-docs?
Enter your API Key, and then find the endpoint to try. Note that not all endpoints are supplied via the dropdown boxes.
With a little detective work, I found what you might be looking for
