Get new Invoice ID when created via API using JSON - json

I have been using XML to create invoices but I am updating my code and switching to using JSON.
When using XML I would get a set of XML returned and part of the data was the new Invoice ID.
However, so it seems at least, when I create a new invoice via the API using JSON, I just get "http/200" (or something like that) returned and no info about what the new invoice ID is!
I need the invoice ID so I can post an attachment.
I tried adding "?summarizeErrors=false" to the end of the URL but nothing was returned unless there was an issue - kinda what it says it does :-)
Can anyone point me in the right direction?
Thanks, Jeremy

Its Ok....I resolved it. Wrong value populated in a property in the HTTP control I was using...ugh.

Get value from json in LogicApp Two/Three Levels Down

Absolute newb question here how do I get a value two levels down in the JSON data with Azure Logic Apps? The web-hook is sending in: Image of incoming JSON
I need the value for shipping/address/city...
I have been trying to run #triggerBody()?['shipping']['address']['city'] but it can't find address (obviously I am doing something wrong).
I just need some syntax to continue and your help is greatly appreciated!
One of the workaround is to use Parse_JSON connector to get the inner values of JSON. Just use the sample Schema in Use sample payload to generate schema and it fetches the inner values.
Below is the screenshot of my logic app.

What is the URL when I DELETE an object

I'm running a local server playing around with an API using Django. I have a model called 'Users' populated with a few objects, and am using DefaultRouter.
I want to know what the URL would be if I were to DELETE a specific object from this model. For example, if I wanted to GET a user with an ID of 1 in this model, the URL would be: "localhost:8000/Users/1/". What would the equivalent be to DELETE this user?
I found an explanation of this on the REST API website (below), however, I don't understand what any of the syntaxes means.
What is {prefix}, {url_path}, {lookup} and [.format]? If anyone could provide an example of what this might be using a localhost that would be really helpful.
Thanks
Let us take an example of an API (URL) to update book data with id (pk) being 10. It would look something like this:
URL: http://www.example.com/api/v1/book/10/
Method: PUT/PATCH
With some data associated.
If you want to delete you just need to change method to DELETE instead of put or patch.
Regarding your second question lets compare the url with the parameters.
prefix: http://www.example.com/api/v1/book
lookup: 10
format: It specifies what type of data do you expect when you hit the API. Generally it is considered to be json.
url_path: In general, every thing after look up except query string is considered to be url_path.

How to include SR related work log long description when using maximo oslc rest api?

I am doing an HTTP GET request to /maximo/oslc/os/mxsr and using the oslc.select query string parameter to choose:
*,doclinks{*},worklog{*},rel.commlog{*},rel.woactivity{*,rel.woactivity{*}}
This lets me get related data, including related worklogs, but the worklog does not include the 'description_longdescription' field.
The only way I seem to be able to get that field is if I do a separate HTTP GET to query a worklog id directly through /maxrest/rest/mbo/worklog . Then it provides the description_longdescription field.
I understand this field is stored separately through the linked longdescription table, but I was hoping to get the data through the "next gen" oslc api with one http get request.
I've tried putting in 'worklog{*,description_longdescription}', as I read somewhere that longdescription is a "non-persistent" field and must be explicitly named for inclusion, but it had no effect.
I figured out that for the /maximo/oslc/os/mxsr object in the API, I needed to reference the related MODIFYWORKLOG object through the rel.modifyworklog syntax in the oslc.select query string:
oslc.select=*,doclinks{*},rel.modifyworklog{*,description_longdescription},rel.commlog{*},rel.woactivity{*,rel.woactivity{*}}
I also had to explicitly name the non-persistent field description_longdescription for it to be included.

Getting the value of a particular cell with AJAX

My goal is very simple and I would guess it is a very common goal among web developers.
I am creating a Rails (5.1) application, and I simply want to use AJAX to get the value of a specific cell in a specific row of a specific table in my database (later I am going to use that value to highlight some text on the current page in the user's browser).
I have not been able to find any documentation online explaining how to do this. As I said, it seems like a basic task to ask of jquery and ajax, so I'm confused as to why I'm having so much trouble figuring it out.
For concreteness, say I have a table called 'animals', and I want to get the value of the column 'species' for the animal with 'id' = 99.
How can I construct an AJAX call to query the database for the value of 'species' for the 'animal' with 'id' = 99 .
Though some DBs provide a REST API, what we commonly do is define a route in the app to pull and return data from the DB.
So:
Add a route
Add a controller/action for that route
In that action, fetch the data from the DB and render it in your preferred format
On the client-side, make the AJAX call to that controller/action and do something with the response.

Box API: Get_managed_users returning all users

Using the Box 1.0 REST API, I am trying to work with the functions in SOAP UI.
The API doc for get_managed_users with user_id=12345 (internal id retrieved with get_user_id call correctly) is returning all the users. The docs say that would be the case if you do not specify a user_id value. But my full command is: (Token and API key changed to protect the clueless)
https://www.box.com/api/1.0/rest?user_id=27360&auth_token=blahbalhblah1234&action=get_managed_users&api_key=someKeyYouShouldNotSee
Now I could work with the complete result list, but that won't scale as we get thousands of users into the system.
I can make a call with edit_managed_user, using the same user_id value and the change is reflected in the UI, and in the next get_managed_users call. Thus I do have the correct user_id value, I would so assume.
I tried testuser#gmail.com as the user_id value as well, and get the entire list back. This leads me to believe that somehow I am sending user_id wrong, but I just do not see it.
Any hints? Why, with what seems like a valid user_id value is it acting like it is absent or incorrect?
Most likely you have either called this method with an invalid user_id, or one that is not in your set of managed users. Can you double check that the user comes back in your list of already managed users?
