Is there a possibility to download data from IBM Analytics Workspace report/query using REST API ?
I would like to download sych data directly to the program variable using PowerShell/C#.
I have been looking for the answer online for a while but I cannot find satisfying answer leaving alone some code examples.
I would be grateful to get some code examples or links to such.
Best regards.
Pipe Invoke-RestMethod to ConvertTo-Json and then pipe to Out-File. That's a typical workflow for interacting with APIs, if you want to download data to disk.
Presumably there's some authentication needed and presumably you have an API key. So your script would look something like
$Headers = #{
api_key = $MyApiKey
}
$Uri = 'https://cloud.ibm.com/some_service/some_resource_type'
$Result = Invoke-RestMethod $Uri -Headers $Headers
$Result | ConvertTo-Json | Out-File my_data.json
Without knowing what API you want to query, no-one can give you a more specific example.
A better way to submit a question would be "How can I download data with powershell from the Foo API - the docs for this endpoint are at ibm.com/api_docs/how_to_foo"

I'd like to leverage the new Google TTS using a simple rest request. To that end, I've created a Service Account which downloaded a JSON file containing a private key id, a private key, client email, client id, client_x509_cert_url, etc.
I've also set the environment variable for the system:
Environment.SetEnvironmentVariable("GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS", jsonFile);
I then found this sample CURL request to use the WaveNet TTS engine provided by Google:
curl -H "Authorization: Bearer "$(gcloud auth application-default print-access-token) \
-H "Content-Type: application/json; charset=utf-8" \
--data "{
'input':{
'text':'Android is a mobile operating system developed by Google,
based on the Linux kernel and designed primarily for
touchscreen mobile devices such as smartphones and tablets.'
},
'voice':{
'languageCode':'en-gb',
'name':'en-GB-Standard-A',
'ssmlGender':'FEMALE'
},
'audioConfig':{
'audioEncoding':'MP3'
}
}" "https://texttospeech.googleapis.com/v1beta1/text:synthesize" > writtenfile.txt
I want to create a simple C# webrequest from the above CURL request, but the line "gcloud auth application-default print-access-token" is a problem for me. I cannot install a CLI gcloud instance on this machine. Isn't there some way to setup the webrequest authorization access token from the JSON service account file? Surely I don't HAVE to have gcloud installed.
Looking for code sample demonstrating how to convert CURL code to a C# rest request using the service account json file without gcloud.
In case you don't want to install the gcloud packages, you can execute REST calls by using API Keys. These keys can be created directly in the GCP console and they can be passed as a parameter through the request header; in this way, you can authenticate to the service without the need of gcloud. Additionally, I suggest you to take a look on this guide that contains the steps required to make REST requests with C#.
You can use this Restlet Client tool to test the following example:
REST content Example
Header
https://texttospeech.googleapis.com/v1beta1/text:synthesize?key=<YOUR_API_KEY>
Body
{
'input':{
'text':'Android is a mobile operating system developed by Google,
based on the Linux kernel and designed primarily for
touchscreen mobile devices such as smartphones and tablets.'
},
'voice':{
'languageCode':'en-gb',
'name':'en-GB-Standard-A',
'ssmlGender':'FEMALE'
},
'audioConfig':{
'audioEncoding':'MP3'
}
}
Finally, in case you want to consume a Service Account JSON file, you can use the Client libraries to create and send your TTS requests to then authenticate them directly from your code; however, this method require to install the TextToSpeech packages.
I am trying to use the new Facebook Messenger Platform API to send image message using image file from application directory.
Facebook gives the example using cURL like below:
curl \
-F recipient='{"id":"USER_ID"}' \
-F message='{"attachment":{"type":"image", "payload":{}}}' \
-F filedata=#/tmp/testpng.png \
"https://graph.facebook.com/v2.6/me/messages?access_token=PAGE_ACCESS_TOKEN"
But I am trying to use the API with C#. For your information, I have successfully use the API if I use the file from an internet url.
I have tried to fill in the filedata property by using base64 string of the image file, but unsuccessful.
Kindly explain how does cURL works with the given file path especially image and create a POST request to the web server? And if possible, what options do I have to do it with C#?
The -F option is for form. This is equivalent to issuing a POST request with the Content-Type header of multipart/formdata and the request body containing all the key-value pairs listed with a proper boundary set. cURL will read the binary data and put the bytes in the correct boundary in the request. There are many examples online for C# to submit a multipart/formdata request. Look into HttpClient or WebClient file uploads and you'll find what you need.
I'll be away from a computer for a few days and submitting sample code from a mobile device isn't the easiest thing to do. If you need some sample code, let me know.
I have a client that wants to sell tutorial videos online. I already got previews of his tutorials streaming from CF (This is public). Now I want to use the c# sdk to generate private, time limited URLs to allow customers who purchased the tutorials to download them for a limited time period.
Once the payment has been confirmed, I want to generate a URL and send it to the client via email.
Does CF/.NET SDK support this?
Can someone point me at a sample. I have searched Google, and got a little information overload. Different examples from different versions of sdk/management console. Please help me make sense of it all :)
If you look at the class Amazon.CloudFront.AmazonCloudFrontUrlSigner that has helper methods for creating presigned URL to private distributions. For example this code snippet creates a url that is valid for one day.
var url = AmazonCloudFrontUrlSigner.GetCannedSignedURL(AmazonCloudFrontUrlSigner.Protocol.http, domainName, cloudFrontPrivateKey, file, cloudFrontKeyPairID, DateTime.Now.AddDays(1));
There are other utility methods in that class for adding more specific access rules.
Note this class was added in version 1.5.2.0 of the SDK which came out in late Augest
Yes Amazon S3 as well as CloudFront both support preSignedUrl access. If you want to faster content delivery the you should use CloudFront. Mr. Norm Johanson saying correct. To generate signed url you will need of Public-Private key pair. You can user your own key pair and lets associate with you account of Amazon S3 or you can also generate it at amazon s3 account and download to generate presigned url
You can use the GUI or code in S3SignURL to sign your URL
https://github.com/DigitalBodyGuard/S3SignURL
You can't do this with CloudFront (CF), but you can do this directly with S3. You simply call the GetPreSignedURL function to generate a time-limited URL to a specific (private) S3 item. This approach is covered in a tutorial here.
The simplest code sample is this:
AmazonS3 client;
GetPreSignedUrlRequest request = new GetPreSignedUrlRequest();
request.WithBucketName(bucketName);
request.WithKey(objectKey);
request.Verb = HttpVerb.GET; // Default.
request.WithExpires(DateTime.Now.AddMinutes(5));
string url = client.GetPreSignedURL(request);
Does the JIRA SOAP API allow me to link betwen two issues that are in different projects? I have looked online and not found a way to do this. The closest thing that I have seen is the createIssueWithParent method, which creates subissues (I want two issues to be linked, not subissues) and which requires the issues to be in the same project (also not what I want).
Does anyone know of a way to do this?
No easy way in SOAP but I've done this using the RESTful approach and JIRA 4.4, e.g.
#
# Add links to JIRA issues
#
# Matt Doar
# CustomWare
#
# usage: create_links.sh issue_id issue_key
# where the issue_id is the unique id for a JIRA issue, not it's issue key.
# You can see the issue id in the XML view of an issue.
# and issue_key is the other issue to be linked to.
USERNAME=admin
PASSWORD=secret
SERVER_URL="http://localhost:8080"
DASHBOARD_PAGE_URL=$SERVER_URL/secure/Dashboard.jspa
COOKIE_FILE_LOCATION=jiracoookie
# Get the authentication cookie
curl -u $USERNAME:$PASSWORD --cookie-jar $COOKIE_FILE_LOCATION -sS --output /dev/null $DASHBOARD_PAGE_URL
issueid=$1
issuekey=$2
#echo "Linking issue: $issueid and $issuekey"
curl --cookie $COOKIE_FILE_LOCATION --header "X-Atlassian-Token: no-check" -sS --output /dev/null -d "id=$issueid" -d "linkDesc=relates to" -d "linkKey=$issuekey" "$SERVER_URL/secure/LinkExistingIssue.jspa"
rm -f $COOKIE_FILE_LOCATION
I don't think that linking is possible via the SOAP API. I've done this using the XML-RPC API, with the createIssueLink function:
from com.atlassian.jira import ComponentManager
# get issue objects
authenticationContext = ComponentManager.getInstance().getJiraAuthenticationContext()
issueLinkManager = ComponentManager.getInstance().getIssueLinkManager()
# Link parent issue to subtask
issueLinkManager.createIssueLink(issue.getId(),otherIssue.getId(),10003,1,authenticationContext.getUser())
I am creating a PHP website connected to a MySQL database. Next I will need to write a C# desktop app that will use the same DB. Unfortunately I cannot connect to the DB directly from a remote location and my hosting company won't allow SSH neither.
So what options do I have? If the hosting company supported .NET, it wouldn't be a problem, but I'm not that experienced with PHP. Will I have to write a PHP service (SOAP?) and then consume it in my desktop app? Also, how do I communicate with server from the desktop app?
Any help appreciated!
Depending on security requirement, could you write a generic SQL executing page in PHP, that took the SQL as a String parameter, and returned the results as an array of Strings (Might need some meta data too or something)?
Other than that the only thing I can think of is a web service of some kind.
Also SOAP can work both ways, you can read and write from the C# app, no need to write a WebService on both ends, unless you need to notify your c# app about something from the server (In which case you could always try frequent polling from the c# app)
Best option would be creating a set of RESTful services in your PHP site.
One of most important things to take in account is REST is more configuration by convention, and there's no need of things like SOAP which may be an absolute overkill for your solution.
You just send JSON from PHP and .NET Windows application will parse it as a CLR object.
A sample scenario would be:
Service operation: http://yourdomainhere.com/API/Message/34894
** This returns something like { "text": "hello world" }
.NET client receives this JSON and using a JSON parser like Newton JSON parser, you'd be doing this:
MessageDto dto = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject([JSON received from the service call]);
MessageBox.Show(dto.Text); // This will show "hello world"
It's just a very simple example, but it'd give you an idea of what's next.
You can query your REST API using WebRequest/WebResponse .NET BCL classes.
PHP only needs to send a web response including your JSON in the output stream, that's all. No SOAP, no XML, no complication. Keep it simple.
I think the following link will be of helpful to you!
Developing SOAP Web Services with PHP/C#
What you can do is providing some PHP-wrappers which you can access from your C# code. As an example you can use this discussion, regarding C# / PHP communication.
Basically you can send a HTTP request to PHP and retrieve it's return value with C#. PHP would then perform the DB requests. If you're using AJAX on the Website it should be easy using the same communication interfaces.
this is the first paragraph of Matt Fellows answer.
But in what form do you send the data back to the application in?
Maybe JSON?
PHP webpage
<?php
$host = "host.host.com";
$user = "XXXXX";
$password = "XXXX";//plaintext :)
$connection = mysql_connect($host, $user, $password);
$database = "XXXXX";
$syntax = $_GET['syntax']; //www.example.com/help.php?syntax=DROP%20TABLE%20XXX
$result = mysql_query($syntax);
//somehow output the $result in C# readable form
?>
