Authentication issue using Rally WebServices - rally

I am trying to call some Rally WebServices from an App inside Rally to update Portfolio Item details (SubFeatures) and I hit a problem that a search on Stack OVerflow indicated I needed to use:
https://rally1.rallydev.com:443/slm/webservice/v2.0/security/authorize
When I GET this it requires me to log in with my Rally userID/Password.
How should I use this properley from within a Rally App so as to not need this authentication since i am already logged in.
As a secondary factor, ulrimately I am to call 'https://rally1.rallydev.com/slm/webservice/v2.0/portfolioitem/' + id
and I assume I would need to pass something like: { "PortfolioItem": { "Description": "hello" } }
Am I barking up wrong trees there?
Thanks
Martin

Are you manually wrangling the ajax calls yourself? App SDK 2.0 does a lot of this for you (including the security token piece mentioned above). Check out this example, which demonstrates performing a full CRUD lifecycle within an app:

Sharepoint error: Likes are not supported in this item

I'm trying to create a Sharepoint iOS app and using the rest api I get the error "Likes are not supported in this item." after doing a POST to https://tenant.sharepoint.com/News/_api/web/lists/getbytitle('pages')/items('1234')/like.
Anyone knows more about this kind of error?
The Rating settings seems to be set correctly on the Sharepoint server, because the like option works correctly on the website, and also in the app I can see the likesCount properties on the response for the Rest API call https://tenant.sharepoint.com/News/_api/web/lists/getbytitle('pages')/items('1234').
I don't think there is something wrong with the client app implementation, but it is something related to the Sharepoint configuration, although I haven't seen any more settings in regards to the Rating settings including the Sharepoint access for the mobile app.
The web seems to handle this using the Microsoft.Office.Server.ReputationModel.Reputation.setLike function which again works correctly on the web parts, but I couldn't find a way to do it from the mobile app.
To set Likes for the list item, we need use the API below with POST request.
https://tenant.sharepoint.com/News/_api/web/lists/getbytitle('pages')/items('1234')
And pass the data of the POST request as below.
var item = {
"__metadata": { "type": "SP.Data.PagesItem"},
"LikedByStringId": {"results": ["11"]},
"LikesCount": 2
};
Before set Likes for the item, we need get the "LikedByStringId" and "LikesCount" value of the list item using API below with GET request, then set the new one.
https://tenant.sharepoint.com/News/_api/web/lists/getbytitle('pages')/items('1234')

Jira - XRay- How to get the total of defects created during a test execution

I'm creating a script that goes into all tests into a test execution. I'd like to get the amount of defects for that particular test execution. Is that a way to get it using rest api?
Xray enables exporting Cucumber tests to be exported as .feature file that further can be used in your automated tests. To do so use this export endpoint
To import the automated test results back to Jira used this import endpoint
Usually APIs will be executed in conjunction with CI/CD tools, like Jenkins.
In this article you can see that the total number of defects can be view via the Jira UI.
And finally, this video shows how tests are imported and exported via the UI.
Tests can be created via API as well, see here.
I think it all depends on your testplans. When those contain all tests you should be able to execute the test via the endpoint rest/raven/1.0/api/testexec/<testExecution>.
Maybe it will be good to ask the very same question in the atlassian community.
Sorry for not being able to fully answer your question, but I think you now should have some things to read :)
There is one way that is more straightforward.
You can make use of the "Test Execution Defects" custom field, which is a calculated field.
Then you just need to use Jira's REST API and obtain information for the related Test Execution issue, for that specific custom field that returns an array. The number of elements corresponds to the number of defects.
Example of HTTP GET request:
https://sandbox.xpand-it.com/rest/api/2/issue/BOOK-31?fields=customfield_11802
Example of response:
{
"expand": "renderedFields,names,schema,operations,editmeta,changelog,versionedRepresentations",
"id": "20130",
"self": "https://sandbox.xpand-it.com/rest/api/2/issue/20130",
"key": "BOOK-31",
"fields": {
"customfield_11802": [
"20131"
]
}
}
Another way would be to use the JQL function "defectsCreatedDuringTestExecution ()", as mentioned here: https://docs.getxray.app/display/XRAY/Enhanced+querying+with+JQL
Then you could do a Jira REST API search call.
Example of HTTP GET search request using the JQL function:
https://sandbox.xpand-it.com/rest/api/2/search?jql=issue%20in%20defectsCreatedDuringTestExecution(BOOK-31)

How to store custom user data on Netlify Identity?

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 ;)

Is it possible to get raw data from a Metabase MBQL / SQL query via the REST API?

Is there a Metabase REST API that takes a MBQL/SQL query and returns the raw data?
I can perform a MBQL query via the API in a 2-step process by doing the intermediate step of creating a Question via the Metabase web app UI and then querying the Question, but I haven't figured how how to combine MBQL with the REST API in a single step.
Some items I'd like to accomplish by having the MBQL in the API request instead of a UI-generated Question:
better version management as the MBQL query can be checked into source control with the code
better isolation as the API call won't be dependent on the question which can change
Here's some info on how to perform the 2-step process.
2-Step Process
The two step process is:
Use web app to create a MBQL/SQL Metabase Question
Use REST API to query existing Question created in web app using the Card API
Step 1) Creating Question via Web UI
Log into the web app and click the "New Question" button in the top menu.
Once your question has been created you will be directed to a URL like the following where :question-id is an integer.
Web UI endpoint: GET /question/:question-id
Note this value and use it in the API in the next step.
Note: an alternative for creating the card is to use the POST /api/card API endpoint per YakovL. This can be useful in some scenarios were UI questions/cards are desirable, but I'm also trying to avoid creating creating cards / questions in the first place, since I'm not planning on using the Metabase UI to consume them. Reasons to avoid cards for me include needing to perform extra work to verify the card query definitions haven't changed but still having the SQL in the code to create the cards, and generate a lot of unneeded question cards in the UI.
Step 2) REST API for Question Data
The API uses the term "card" for the Web UI "question" object, so make an API call to the following Card API:
API endpoint: POST /api/card/:card-id/query/:export-format
In this URL:
:card-id is the :question-id from the Web UI URL
:export-format can be json or another format
More information on the API is available in the API Documentation:
https://github.com/metabase/metabase/blob/master/docs/api-documentation.md
Question
Is there a way to do this directly by sending the MBQL/SQL query in the API request in a single step without a pre-existing Question/Card?
Querying via raw SQL and MBQL are both available via the POST /api/dataset/ API. The documentation for the endpoint mentions the query request definition but does not define it.
I ended up doing some more research and asking on the Metabase Discourse forum. The following examples were posted by sbelak.
Raw SQL Query
I was able to successfully make a native SQL query using the go-metabase SDK to make the following request:
POST /api/dataset
Content-Type: application/json
X-Metabase-Session: <sessionId>
{
"database": 1,
"native": {
"query": "SELECT COUNT(*) FROM orders"
},
type: "native"
}
Notes:
The POST /api/dataset does not set the response Content-Type header.
There is a POST /api/dataset/json endpoint, but that does not seem to accept the native property.
To set X-Metabase-Session see github.com/goauth/metabase.
MBQL
POST /api/dataset
Content-Type: application/json
X-Metabase-Session: <sessionId>
{
"database": 1,
"type": "query",
"query": {
"source-table": 2,
"breakout": [
[
"binning-strategy", ["field-id", 14], "default"
]
],
"aggregation": [["avg", ["field-id", 17]]]
}
}

ASP.NET Core Displaying data in View from Api

I am creating Cars store in Asp.Net for my school.
I built an Api Method:
[HttpGet("api/brands/{brandName}/models")]
public IActionResult Get(string brandName)
{
{
var model = _context.getBrandByName(brandName);
return Ok(model.Models.ToList());
}
}
An it works when I am checking it with Postman.
Now I would like User to choose brandName from selection list in the website and show him avaliable models.
In other words I dont know how to use this Api to get Data displayed.
Any help will be strongly appreciated
RESTful Web services are one way of providing interoperability between computer systems on the Internet. REST-compliant Web services allow requesting systems to access and manipulate textual representations of Web resources using a uniform and predefined set of stateless operations.
from Wikipedia.
This means, the REST API's only concern is to provide the data to work in a uniform and predefined set of operations, where those operations take the HTTP Verb that was used in consideration.
in your example, your GET route, should only be api/brands/{brandName}
the default in rest api, http verbs say:
GET - getting one element or a list
POST - creating
PUT - updating
DELETE - removing
in your application, the best approach would be something like:
GET /api/brands will get ALL existing brands
GET /api/brands/<brand_name> will get just one brand
POST /api/brands will create a new brand
PUT /api/brands will edit an existing brand
DELETE /api/brands will delete an existing brand
from your question:
Now I would like User to choose brandName from selection list on the website
the website would then request a GET to the route /api/brands to get the list of all of the brands.
This is the REST API part, it concerns ONLY in providing the right data to the system that request it.
if you want to create a website in order to CONSUME this data, you can easily create a new web project in your solution and request the data that the API provides, making the Website completely "blind" from where the data comes from, as it only asks for the data itself.
Making the whole system much easier for updated and maintainability.
In other words I dont know how to use this Api to get Data displayed.
The main purpose of REST API is to expose data not to display it by using any kind of UI framework.
If you think you need to manage the full stack of your application end-to-end. I mean from User interface to your database then you must think at implementing the V of the MVC pattern bu return a view and not just a data. ASP.Net Core can help you with that. Follow this tutorial, it explains a lot about this pattern in ASP.Net Core MVC.
