I have a Ruby on Rails 3 app that I would like to consume http://clients.mindbodyonline.com/api/0_5/ClassService.asmx?op=GetClasses to display a list of classes on a site.
What is the recommended method to do this on Rails? HTTParty?
Here is the Doc on the API I'm using.
The Ruby gem I have used to consume MindBody web services is the mindbody-api gem.
In my opinion it provides nice-to-use interface wrappers around the MindBody API services, and definitely gave me a leg-up time-wise over creating my own client etc directly using Savon.
There is a gem for consuming MindBody api. I haven't personally used it but looks like it's the same api.

I need to write a Java web application to call a function Meteor APP. One way is through API call. Are there any other means to call Meteor function from 3rd party application.
Thanks

It all depends on what your requirements are, how your Meteor app is structured, and what sort of integration you desire.
If you are wanting your Java web application to be able to natively call Meteor methods or subscribe to publications, then you will have to use a Java DDP Client to do this. Fortunately, there is at least one documented Java DDP client that you can use for this (and probably many others out there is you search). For your reference, here is a compiled list of DDP clients for other languages/technologies.
If on the other hand you don't want to interface with you meteor app using DDP, then you could always implement a REST API in your meteor app. There are several packages available to do this, but I would highly recommend the simple:rest package.
This package automatically creates a REST API for all your existing publications and methods without any extra code (just simply add the package to your meteor app). If you do need to configure or modify the REST API, the package also provides several options that you can use in your publication or meteor method definition. The package also enforces all your app's security rules and authorization.
For example, if your app had a publication called openTasks, then the corresponding REST endpoint would be.
GET /publications/openTasks
There are quite a few packages at https://atmospherejs.com/?q=rest that can expose your Meteor methods as RESTful API points which your Java app can consume.
The functions for operating the restful api is quite same. Is there any project that can generate the source code for different platform such android,ios and backend stuff.
I suggest you to use API description languages such Swagger ou RAML.
After having described your RESTful application with a language like this, you will be able to generate things like server skelekons and client sdks with different technologies and languages. You can even generate documentations.
With Swagger, swagger-codegen will do that. swagger-ui may also interest you for the documentation part.
To finish, I would like to mention the Restlet studio that allows to define graphically and quickly the structure of RESTful applications and generate then the corresponding Swagger and RAML contents. The APISpark plaform provides a mecanism to introspect Restlet applications and generate the corresponding contents with these languages. It also allow you to generate a set of server skelekons and client sdks.
Hope it helps you.
I will suggest you to use Spring RESTful webservices starter kit. Which will manage your back-end with centralized database. Also Spring has its own android libs to communicate with REST Apis.
I need to integrate MediaWiki in my Yii project.
Is MediaWiki-API URL-based only?
Yii and MW on same server. I want to manipulate with php-commands, not cUrl.
It is possible to call the API internally, though it requires some understanding of MediaWiki's inner workings. I suggest you start reading at API:Calling internally
I have built a cakephp site with RESTFul calls. Happy to say these calls work when using curl from another php site. (This is all testing at the moment)
The next stage is setting up authorization, from my understand I'd be looking at either basic or digest loging to make RESTful calls.
I'd like to build a phonegap app, that requires login. Would RESTful calls to CakePHP be the way to go. i.e making a RESTful API for my site?
I'd like to provide an API key. How would this key be secured in a phonegap app?
How secure is phonegap in general? If the files for an app are css, html, js can't the app be broken into and the files revealed
Just looking for general advice and a direction to continue researching.
I believe what you need would be a stateless authentication system. CakePHP comes with 2 built in. Take a look at this example
I have a web site that needs data to be pushed to it. Unfortunately, I'm not aware of any other methods besides using HTML 5 WebSockets (I can't garauntee my clients will have HTML5 browers) and Comet (I'm not using java/tomcat).
I am not a big fan of using server-side ASP.NET for this particular project, and would prefer to use ASP.NET MVC or something like it. Is it possible to tie JavaScript in with a duplex service?
Well actually you can leverage the pollingduplex binding used for silverlight clients in javascript. There is an interesting blog post on this by tomek over here: http://tomasz.janczuk.org/2009/07/pubsub-sample-using-http-polling-duplex.html
