Concerning the new Paypal SDK, there is almost no useful example code, and the Internet is littered with examples of the old SDK. My question concerns making an API request for a third party paypal account for which i have obtained the token and secretToken through the permissions API.
In attempting to construct a PPAPIService object, where is the list of possible sevice names?
ie: $this->serviceName = $serviceName; (in the constructor) What is the string syntax for these?
In regards to the makeRequest method, how do I define the $apiMethod variable, and what is the format of the $params variable? What are the different parameters?
A simple example of how to just obtain the account balance of the authorized third party account would be extremely helpful.
I am using PHP.
from the PPAPIService.php file:
class PPAPIService
{
public $endpoint;
public $serviceName;
private $logger;
public function __construct($serviceName = "")
{
$this->serviceName = $serviceName; //is there ANY documentation about the syntax and types of service names?
$config = PPConfigManager::getInstance();
$this->endpoint = $config->get('service.EndPoint');
$this->logger = new PPLoggingManager(__CLASS__);
}
public function setServiceName($serviceName)
{
$this->serviceName = $serviceName;
}
public function makeRequest($apiMethod, $params, $apiUsername = null, $accessToken = null, $tokenSecret = null)
{
//what are the apiMethod types? syntax? and params? type.. options...??
}
}
Well, you do not have to create a PPAPIService object directly. Let's say you want to use the Invoicing SDK, here's what you would do
$invoiceService = new InvoiceService();
$invoiceService->setAccessToken($accessToken);
$invoiceService->setTokenSecret($tokenSecret);
$createInvoiceResponse = $invoiceService->CreateInvoice($createInvoiceRequest);
There's one service class (such as InvoiceService in this code snippet) per API that you would instantiate as per your needs. The API username/password are picked from the configuration file and the access token/token secret are set via code since they typically tend to be different for different invocations.
Which API are you trying to call, by the way?
To answer on your other concern, the new PayPal SDK's have all the required samples bundled within the SDK itself. The SDK + Samples canbe downloaded from

I created a REST API with Spring Data Rest that forks fine. It must be possible to clone Projects via the API, so I added a custom #RestController to implement that via POST /projects/{id}/clone.
#RestController
#RequestMapping(value = "/projects", produces = "application/hal+json")
#RequiredArgsConstructor(onConstructor = #__(#Autowired))
public class ProjectCloneController {
private final ProjectRepo projectRepo;
#PostMapping("/{id}/clone")
public EntityModel<Project> clone(#PathVariable String id) {
Optional<Project> origOpt = projectRepo.findById(id);
Project original = origOpt.get();
Project clone = createClone(original);
EntityModel<Project> result = EntityModel.of(clone);
result.add(linkTo(ProjectRepo.class).slash(clone.getId()).withSelfRel());
return result;
}
I am stuck at the point where I need to add a Link to the EntityModel that points to an endpoint provided by Spring Data Rest. It will need to support a different base path, and act correctly to X headers as well.
Unfortunately, the line above (linkTo and slash) just generates http://localhost:8080/636f4aaac9143f1da03bac0e which misses the name of the resource.

My environment is ASP.NET Core 2.x accessing CosmosDb (aka DocumentDb) with the .NET SDK.
The default consistency level of my collection is set to "Session". For my use-case I need a single authenticated web user to always have consistent data in terms of reads/writes between web requests.
I have some CosmosDB Repository logic that is made available to my controller logic via ASP.NET Core Singleton dependency injection as such:
services.AddSingleton<DocumentDBRepository, DocumentDBRepository>(x =>
new DocumentDBRepository(
WebUtil.GetMachineConfig("DOCDB_ENDPOINT", Configuration),
WebUtil.GetMachineConfig("DOCDB_KEY", Configuration),
WebUtil.GetMachineConfig("DOCDB_DB", Configuration),
"MyCollection",
maxDocDbCons));
DocumentDBRespository creates a cosmos client like so:
public DocumentDBRepository(string endpoint, string authkey, string database, string collection, int maxConnections)
{
_Collection = collection;
_DatabaseId = database;
_Client = new DocumentClient(new Uri(endpoint), authkey,
new ConnectionPolicy()
{
MaxConnectionLimit = maxConnections,
ConnectionMode = ConnectionMode.Direct,
ConnectionProtocol = Protocol.Tcp,
RetryOptions = new RetryOptions()
{
MaxRetryAttemptsOnThrottledRequests = 10
}
});
_Client.OpenAsync().Wait();
CreateDatabaseIfNotExistsAsync().Wait();
CreateCollectionIfNotExistsAsync().Wait();
}
As far as I understand that means one CosmosDB client per Web App server. I do have multiple web app servers, so a single user might hit the CosmosDB from multiple AppServers and different CosmosDb clients.
Before a user interacts with the ComosDB, I check their session object for a CosmosDb SessionToken, like so:
string docDbSessionToken = HttpContext.Session.GetString("StorageSessionToken");
Then, when writing a document for example, the method looks something like so:
public async Task<Document> CreateItemAsync<T>(T item, Ref<string> sessionTokenOut, string sessionTokenIn = null)
{
ResourceResponse<Document> response = null;
if (string.IsNullOrEmpty(sessionTokenIn))
{
response = await _Client.CreateDocumentAsync(UriFactory.CreateDocumentCollectionUri(_DatabaseId, _Collection), item);
}
else
{
response = await _Client.CreateDocumentAsync(UriFactory.CreateDocumentCollectionUri(_DatabaseId, _Collection), item, new RequestOptions() { SessionToken = sessionTokenIn });
}
sessionTokenOut.Value = response.SessionToken;
Document created = response.Resource;
return created;
}
The idea being that if we have a session token, we pass one in and use it. If we don't have one, just create the document and then return the newly created session token back to the caller. This works fine...
Except, I'm unclear as to why when I do pass in a session token, I get a DIFFERENT session token back. In other words, when _Client.CreateDocumentAsync returns, response.SessionToken is always different from parameter sessionTokenIn.
Does that mean I should be using the new session token from that point on for that user? Does it mean I should ignore the new session token and use the initial session token?
How long do one of these "sessions" even last? Are they sessions in the traditional sense?
Ultimately, I just need to make sure that the same user can always read their writes, regardless of which AppServer they connect with or how many other users are currently using the DB.
I guess the confusion here is on what a session is?
In most scenarios/frameworks treat session as static identifier (correlation), where as with cosmos the sessionToken is dynamic (kind of bookmark/representation of cosmos db state, which changes with writes). Naming it as 'sessionToken' might be root of the confusion.
In this specific scenario, you should use the "returned sessiontoken" from cosmos API's.
I have a problem while trying to get attachment from ACUMATICA through API service.
As the example in http://acumaticaopenuniversity.com/pdf/T210_Acumatica_Web_Services.pdf page 36
Example code here
But I don't know how many files here and what are their names? How can I get all attachment of this entity?
Thank in advance.
The contract based web service API has a straightforward GetFiles interface for getting all files of an entity. When you don't have special requirements that forces you to use the screen based web-service API, I'd recommend you use the contract based one.
Interface:
File[] GetFiles(Entity entity)
Usage pseudo-code:
using (DefaultSoapClient soapClient = new DefaultSoapClient())
{
soapClient.Login("username", "password", "CompanyLoginName", null, null);
File[] files = soapClient.GetFiles((Entity)soapClient.Get(new Entity { EntityIntField = new IntSearch { Value = 1 } }));
}

I am trying to achieve following functionality with twillio.js on client side and ASP.NET Mvc website at the backend.
I need to connect a call between real phone number of sales person and phone number of a potential client.
For example on button click , I need to call potential client , and in a case the client answered , i need to add to the call sales person (that is not using twillio number , using regular landline)
Is it possible to achieve with twillio ?
Karen, hello!
Were you able to achieve what you were looking for with Alex's suggestion of the Click to Call tutorial?
https://www.twilio.com/docs/tutorials/walkthrough/click-to-call/csharp/mvc
The above uses a web form and ajax to send the form asynchronously. Then we handle the POST from our web form and connect the call via the REST API.
/// <summary>
/// Handle a POST from our web form and connect a call via REST API
/// </summary>
[HttpPost]
public ActionResult Call(Contact contact)
{
if (!ModelState.IsValid)
{
return Json(new { success = false, message = (ModelState.Values.First()).Errors.First().ErrorMessage, });
}
var twilioNumber = ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["TwilioNumber"];
// The following line is how you should get the absolute Uri in an internet faced
// server or a production environment
// var handlerUri = Url.Action("Connect", "Call", null, Request.Url.Scheme);
// this line allow us to get the absolute Uri in a local computer using a secure instrospectable
// service like ngrok ;)
var handlerUri = GetTestUri();
_twilioService.CallToNumber(twilioNumber, contact.Phone.Replace(" ", ""), handlerUri);
return Json(new { success = true, message = "Phone call incoming!"});
}
Please let me know if this is helpful for your use case.
I am consuming an API mehod and it returns response as of type Product and below is the response class structure.
Public class Product
{
public int Id;
public string Name;
public IList<Product> MasterProduct { get; set; }
}
The API result include the product attributes along with IList. Since this API cannot be consumed directly though our windows client we have a wrapper web API which consume this API, for this in the local API we have defined similar Product class. The issue I am facing is when trying to map the attibues of external API with local. Below is what I am trying to do.
response = Response.Result.Select(x => new Product
{
Id=x.Id,
Name=x.Name
MasterProduct = x.MasterProduct.Cast<MasterProduct>().ToList()//tried below
}).ToList();
but it fails with error as - Unable to cast object of type 'Api.Models.Product' to type 'App.DataContracts.Product'
The Masterproduct consist of hierarchal data .I am wondering if the approach I am taking is right or it has to be done through some method. Any suggestion or help would be appreciated.
Upon searching the web I came across some code where serpare method is being called to parse using Microsoft.Its.Data, but this was for single object where as in my case I have a List(Hierarchical).
Appreciate if someone can point to some linke/sampel to achive the same.
Trying serialization/deserialization would do. Below is the code
Perhaps trying serialization/deserialization would do.
if (response.Result != null)
{
var serializedResponse = JsonConvert.SerializeObject(Response.Result, Formatting.Indented);
response = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<List<Product>>(serializedResponse);
}).ToList();
return response;
