I need real example in RESTlet how to use it with external API (real system) the steps and we can do with external API.
I tried to use RESTlet to integrate with another system i want to do some examples and practice with me to training

I understand that creation of Rest api documentation using swagger Ui generates a few jsons
Do other developers need to use swagger UI installation on their laptop to view these ?
What is the best way to view such a documentation
The general way is to host your own swagger ui instance on your servers, exposing the REST documentation. When all fails, and assuming you've enabled CORS, you can use the online petstore and paste the URL to you Swagger there.
I am in the process of conducting a POC for integrating one of our Corporate Applications with BOX.NET.
The Corporate application resides over Amazon Cloud and I would like to use that App to perform CRUD operations on BOX.
Can I go ahead and start using the Content API (REST) provided by BOX.NET? On the BOX side I would have to go and register my application to obtain a API KEY. Please confirm if my understanding is correct.
Thanks
That's correct. To start using the Box.com API you should go to http://developers.box.com and get an API key for your application. Depending on the language you like to code in, there are SDKs you can use, or you can code directly against the REST Content API.
The Box APIs are free to build against. Users that login to your application will have to go through an OAuth2 flow to allow your application to access their Box content.
We set up a web API for project internal usage.
I'm looking for a nice way to document our API. I've searched the web and found
IO Docs
Swagger
These tools read in JSON files that can be created automatically, e.g. for Java. Our API has grown and I like to create the JSON manually, but not by hand in a text editor. Is there a tool or frontend that eases the burden of creating the descriptive JSON manually?
On the other hand, what are recommendable tools for the documentation of a web API?
I work in a .NET (C#) shop and we use swagger to document our apis. We couldn't find any tools to do what your asking...so we just created our own. I don't think swagger is mature enough to spawn utility projects like that...yet.
It was not to difficult to create classes to represent the json objects described by the swagger documentation. We just take these instantiated classes and run them through a JSON serializer to get our individual json files describing our endpoints.
Best of luck!
So, Google Places API allows me to receive JSON data through a Google Places API search using a simple:
"https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/place/search/json?location=-33.8670522,151.1957362&radius=50&client=clientId&sensor=true_or_false&signature=SIGNATURE"
(note, includes signature/key).
Why does SimpleGeo not allow this same feature? Is it possible? What is the purpose of all of this server side code that SimpleGeo uses?
Regards,

SimpleGeo has recently announced a JavaScript SDK, which includes a JSONP API. This should allow you to do exactly what you're asking -- requesting read-only information from their Context and Places APIs purely from the client side with a simple key to authenticate the request.
I think there are still plenty of purposes for accessing SimpleGeo's data from a server-side application -- not all developers are writing purely JavaScript client-side applications -- but I agree that this new SDK will help a lot of developers.
Also, if you're looking for straightforward REST access to JSON resources without any client libraries, that's also present. See SimpleGeo's documentation on API endpoints.
I am using a Java based Portal Platform. I need to show within my portal information stored in Lotus Notes. Considering security issues, what are the recommended ways to do this?
Are there any open source JSR 168 portlets out there that integrate with Lotus Notes?
From my portal platform, I can call web services to get this information. Is this recommended? If so where can I find information about web service API´s available for Lotus Notes?
Are there any java components that I can install on my portal platform that will make available a java API to access Lotus Notes information?
You have two main options.
First you can talk to Domino (Notes is the client, Domino is the server) directly using the CORBA java interface over IIOP. This will give you full access to the Domino object model and allow you to write the code to do whatever it is you need to do in your java platform.
Secondly you could go over web services. This will be much easier to set up, but you will have to deploy code for what ever it is you want to do on the Domino server. In ND7 and up Domino will build all the web service elements for you from a WSDL or method stub.
From a security point of view, the user connecting to the service will need to be authenticated with Domino. This could be a system account or the actual user if you can proxy the login through.
Another angle I've seen is to just proxy HTTP calls through the portlet to Domino.
Assuming you have SSO setup between portal and domino the simplest solution is to use the Notes View Portlet included with portal. If you need to show the data in a more customized format then I would suggest to use portlet factory. If neither of the previous work for you then you should be able to develop a custom portet using RAD and the notes java api.
