Has anyone managed to get the LinkedIn API working from within a coldfusion application?
There are some threads in the Linkedin Developer's community, but any actual working examples or complete code are missing.
In the end I'm looking for a solution to import LinkedIn profiles to our recruitment solution - and also fetch updated profiles regularly - ofcourse after the user gives us access to his/her profile.
Any help appreciated, especially with some kind of working setup (even if only basic)
Since ColdFusion can create and use Java objects, the easiest solution is to use a Java API to access LinkedIn. One option is linkedin-j.
Update
I haven't found any evidence of a CF-based wrapper so unfortunately you're going to have to figure this part out.
You don't need to really know how Java works to use Java objects in ColdFusion; you just have to know what the classes are in the API in question and then create the necessary objects and then call the relevant functions. I assume linkedin-j offers some kind of .jar file. You need to add that to your classpath; there are plenty of resources on line on how to do this (if that link breaks, just search for coldfusion jar classpath). Then, figure out which object you need, create an instance of that object you need using CreateObject.
The getting started page talks about a LinkedInApiClientFactory object. You'd create this in ColdFusion by doing something like
<cfset factory = CreateObject('com.google.code.linkedinapi.client.LinkedInApiClient').newInstance(consumerKeyValue, consumerSecretValue)>
<cfset client = factory.createLinkedInApiClient(accessTokenValue, tokenSecretValue)>
At which point you can use all of the functions available to the LinkedInApiClient, such as getProfileByUrl.
Use the documentation available at the linkedin-j site to find out about the functions you can call on the LinkedInApiClient, and work from there.

My team and I are currently building multiple services in parallel. We have the benefit of building all the services from scratch. I would like the ability to automatically display all API endpoints, from all services, in one page/site. This would be helpful because (among other things):
I don't have to go to multiple documentation sites to see what are the available endpoints in my entire "system".
It'll be a good first step to determine if any of the services should be split, combined or simply refactored.
Some of our services are in Django and the rest-swagger module is a great help. But I don't see how I can combine rest-swagger documentation from multiple services into a single documentation page/site.
I'm currently looking through this site and anything related to the Netflix experience but could not find a solution to my problem. Maybe centralized documentation isn't a big deal with 600+ services at Netflix, but that's hard to believe.
Can anyone suggest a tool or method to have a combined API documentation for all services in a microservice architecture?
My ideal scenario of what happens when a service is changed:
I click on the link to see the list of endpoints in my system.
A teammate updates a service and also it's documentation.
I refresh the page I am currently and I see that change made from step #2.
With my exp, you have some paths.
http://readme.io/
Make a wiki with JIRA, Redmine.
In Github create a repo for exclusive docs.
Google Docs.
I don't know about any existing tool rather I'm just putting my thought on where to do it.
From what the OP describe, they are already building a micro services architecture using Netflix stack. There should be a repository to config the name (or URL) for each of the services and the 'config server' or 'service registry' will read from that. To me, that's the perfect place to put the reference to each of the micro-service's documentation under their own entries. This way you get the benefit of maintaining the documentation and code at same place, plus you could potentially also collect run time information like instance/connections count if you hook into the config/registry server.
Being in similar situation I am looking to adopt https://readthedocs.org/ with GIT backed.

I want to be able to contribute to Google Translate on my native language (Sinhala).
Although there is an online portal (http://translate.google.com/community/) where we can contribute to the translator by translating new phrases or validating existing translations, I would like to create my own, lightweight portal (maybe an Android app) for the contribution service. However, I was unable to find any public API for the translate contribution platform, despite a thorough Google search and a full search through the Google Translator Toolkit API forum (https://productforums.google.com/forum/m/#!categories/translator-toolkit-api) (which seems to have been closed down since the end of 2012).
Currently my best hope is to mimic the request-response sequence followed by the online portal itself. For example, the following request is used by the online portal to fetch a question list for manual translation:
GET http://translate.google.com/community/question_list?sl=en&tl=si&client=t
However, it requires that all the related cookies are properly initialized and passed with the request, which would probably not be easy to mimic in a non-browser environment (such as an Android app). Hence I believe there's a better approach (maybe a yet undocumented API?) somewhere out there.
Does anyone know of any API for accessing this translation contribution feature?
Thanks in advance.
Please note: I am NOT looking for a way to improve Google Translate itself, but for contributing to the actual translation content as described under "How can I help?" in the Google Translate Community FAQ (https://docs.google.com/document/d/1dwS4CZzgZwmvoB9pAx4A6Yytmv7itk_XE968RMiqpMY/pub#h.e1ahmpftpdum).
P.S. I was initially planning to post this question on the Web Apps Stack Exchange, but after reading this post I decided to first try it here.
I'm one of the engineers behind Translate Community and I'm really excited that you want to see it on more platforms. We're currently under active development of the site and making it more accessible on mobile platforms without having to create dedicated native apps.
For the time being, we don't anticipate releasing a public API as the platform is under active development. Until we do release a public API, please don't use any http commands you find to create a separate app. Instead, just let us know how we can make the app a better experience for you and we'll work on making it better.
Thanks!

Many questions being asked about generate Rest API to html documents.
But eggs comes from chicken.
In many cases , the architecture needs to define the API . It's a connection between web developers and iOS/Android client developers.
So is there such kind of tool or web , we can do follow things:
New a API
write the subURL
write the POST/GET method
write the post parameters
write the returned answers
write the sample request , any kinds of condition, error codes.
After all this, there is a doc or Online doc html there.
We can edit , update it after times pass by. The web/client developer , just need to watch the document ,then they are ready to go.
Is there any kind of tool can archive this ? Thank you.
There are a couple of specs for documents that allow clients to discover RESTful APIs.
Swagger (demo)
apiary
JSON Home
Google use their own Discovery Service, however unlike the others, unfortunately I don't think there are open sourced libraries that help you use expose it from your own APIs.
I have used swagger and it works well. The spec handles the things you have mentioned:
JSON Schema to describe request/responses
A list of error codes/conditions
A codegen library to generate client side code for a number of languages such as Javascript, Java, Objective-C, Scala, PHP, Python, Ruby, and more.

I'm building a web app that relies quite heavily on email notification/responses.
I obviously don't want to rebuild gmail from scratch(!) but I'm not sure how to integrate an existing webmail client into my site. I've looked at RoundCube, AtMail and Squirrel but still am not sure if they're what I need.
For users of my app to use those applications would they be redirected away from my site, or can I use APIs to keep everything within my app?
Related to that, I only really need users to be able to read and respond to messages generated by my application. Although a full email client might be useful for some, it's not essential. I wonder whether a private message system (which could, if needed, send out emails to users registered address) might be more appropriate.
Is this something I could relatively easily put together myself, or should I again be looking for an existing solution?
I don't think, that integrating something like RoundCube to your site is a good idea in your situation, because those ones are meant to be stand-alone services, not a part of other ones, and do not provide API that can be used by your app.
Server side languages usually have a set of functions to work with IMAP protocol.
PHP: http://php.net/manual/en/book.imap.php
Python: http://docs.python.org/3.1/library/imaplib.html
You can find libraries for other languages too, I'm not sure what language you need, since you didn't specify it.
Imap usage requires some server configuration, but makes rather easy to fetch and read received emails from your script. Depending on your needs, you can send mails and reed and analyze replies.
Hope this information will be helpful to you.

I have inherited over 600 files of ColdFusion source code running a internal web site for my company. One of my tasks is to "document" it. The code base represents about 5 years of development and there is no technical specification of what it does.
The developers have maintained a change log of each file and there is a consistent header.
My thought is that I can build a dependency map of the various modules and referenced stored procedures to facilitate this documentation by scanning the source files. I have used Doxygen in the past for c++ source code and am wondering if a tool like this exists for ColdFusion.
One output I am investigating is the ability to create a xmind file as means of visualizing the cross dependencies in module inter-relationships.
Thanks in advance,
Chris
The ColdFusion server has built in introspection that outputs javadoc like documentation for any CFC class.
See: http://YourColdfusionServer/CFIDE/componentutils/componentdoc.cfm
However, it requires an RDS login/password for your server. For delivery to third parties, I set up a recursive script that does a cfhttp fetch against the docs for each cfc file, and then compiles the pages to PDF with cfdocument.
You could start with ColdDoc
Also, heres a UML 2 CFC generator.
I guess what you really need is something to reverse engineer the coldfusion code into uml class diagrams. I don't know of anything off the top of my head.
MagicDraw, Objecteering don't seem to do it yet.
After trying to find an answer to this question myself I ended up writing this solution:

Maybe it is too late for you now but I am just spreading the word.

Sounds to me like creating your own Xmind or XMI file is the way to go. The XMI file may be more portable between tools, but the last time I looked at doing that the XMI file formats were a bit daunting for the time I had available to work on the solution. If the formatting of the headers consistent is enough to read with ReFind or Find I'd build a script that uses cfdirectory and cffile to walk the code tree and output the file(s).
