expose your own API to YQL - api

I was wondering if someone knows a way to expose an already public API (e.g. LinkedIn's) through YQL.
Any ideas / insight of someone who has already done this would be appreciated!
Thanks!

Yup :) If you click "Community Tables" on the right of the YQL Console you can see there are already over 600 tables made by other people for existing APIs.
Check out http://datatables.org/ for more information on how to build them (you basically make an XML file describing the structure of the API and then commit it to github).

Building wiki for rest API

I am a developer and I have created a Rest api.
I have the OpenAPI documentations of these APIs but I would like them to be accessible as a wiki and that I could modify/update easily.
To give you an idea of what I would like here are two examples:
https://openweathermap.org/api/one-call-3
https://docs.github.com/en/rest?apiVersion=2022-11-28
I don't want to create a whole website to do this. Are there any tools that could help me to make this wiki?
Thanks in advance.

XERO API: Is there documentation that lists which tables are available to developers?

Looking for a list of tables that are accessible to developers to make sure we can accomplish what we're hoping to before going through all of the effort to get the data into Azure. Anything someone can share?

Xero's documentation is frustrating, as some of it is out of date and references long-dead information.
Use the Xero API Explorer to verify at
https://developer.xero.com/announcements/all-new-api-explorer
You're wise to verify this before starting coding as there are a lot of oddities (and omissions) in the API.

Does Google Data Studio have API functionality, and if not, will it in the near future?

I'm trying to automate a workflow using Google Data Studio. Requirements are simple - I need to be able to programatically copy a templated report (from a Python/Java application) and import/set a data source (Google Sheets doc) for that report. Nothing more fancy (no visualisation creation, formatting, or anything graphical, etc.).
Sources here, here and here (last two require Google Cloud Console account) suggest an API does exist (and detail a setup process to access it). However, after going through this setup process, I can find no details or documentation of any functionality, and consequently have been unable to progress.
Can anyone authoritatively state whether:
1. There does exist any API functionality for GDS? and
2. If not, are there plans to develop such? (since the Google links above suggest there is, I'm wondering if this means it's in the pipeline for near future).
The only directly related SO posts I can find are here and here. The first suggests there isn't, but doesn't account for the Google links I've provided above which suggest there is; the second doesn't really cover the same use case, so doesn't provide answers applicable here.
FYI - I've posted a Google Community forum post here asking essentially the same question.
If anyone is able to help out, that would be greatly appreciated :) Many thanks in advance for your time and help! :)

There does exist any API functionality for GDS?
Not in the way you are expecting. The three links you posted all refer to the current Data Studio API. The only things you can do with that API is view your Data Studio assets and update permissions. That's it. This API won't let you create/copy/modify reports or data sources.
If not, are there plans to develop such?
Not in the near future. You can make/vote for this feature request in the official tracker. More popular feature requests are usually prioritized in roadmaps.
That being said, a lot of the API use cases can be resolved using combinations of Community Connectors, config parameters, direct linking, viewer's credentials, Linking/Integration API etc.

Connecting to an API using Power Bi

I am trying to connect to an API using Power BI. I am doing this by clicking on the Get Data then choosing Web, typing the URL address of the site. It comes with the list of API links created when I drill to any of them I cannot see anything. Is this the correct way of doing it? Many Thanks for your help
For querying REST APIs, that's the correct way of doing it yes. But in your case, it might be an issue with the API itself or that you need more details in the query? It's hard to troubleshoot without vieweing the API documentations.
If you then press on Advanced, you can then include further details for your request if needed.
I will include some screenshots below of how to choose the Web connector.

new Yodlee API or RESTful Wrapper API , Confusions galore for someone starting on Yodlee

I am trying to implement account aggregation solution and am confused right now as there are multiple API's available that do the same thing.
I came across new Yodlee API as well as RESTful Wrapper APIs'. Both of these API classifications do the same thing but provide different APIs sets.
Can someone please let me know which one should I use?
I am referring to this link
https://developer.yodlee.com/API_Resources/API_Reference
Please go with Yodlee APIs, which is our latest product.
This is purely REST and the API response is simple, informative and decluttered. Here Webhooks is also supported
Please refer- https://developer.yodlee.com/Yodlee_API
API Flow- https://developer.yodlee.com/Yodlee_API/API_Flow/Add_Account_With_ProviderAccount
Swagger tool( to test APIs)- https://developer.yodlee.com/apidocs/index.php#!/providerAccounts
Hope this helps you in getting started.

Krithik
Your documentation(API Reference) mentions some fields/endpoints deprecated but they still work in the old style. I find document inconsistent.
Also i could not even find a support email where i could even mail about this problem.
I would appreciate if you consider these points.
Thanks
