I'm researching the possibility of styled reporting on Wordpress, fed by Smartsheet data. My idea is to on click or even on frequency/date, get grid content from SmartSheet API and publish to a Wordpress post. I want the columns/cells/rows to output as html objects (ideally integration code allows me to create classes based on column and/or cell content logic) so I can style with CSS.
As someone with strong technical skills but no deep coding ability, am I being crazy to attempt self-teaching and building this? I feel like logically it seems pretty possible. If it is I would learn and execute myself.
Thoughts on how feasible, potential roadblocks?
Getting data from Smartsheet via its API into a Wordpress page is achievable. The biggest hurdle I can see you running into is since the Smartsheet API doesn't have support for CORS you won't be able to make requests to the Smartsheet API directly from the page on the front end. You'll need to build out some back end code that lives on your server that interacts with the Smartsheet API and your Wordpress site calls that code to get the data it needs.

I want to link my website's Wordpress database to mobile application; and I am able to generate the APIs using wp-json plugin in Wordpress.
However, there is a lot of unwanted data which I do not want for the app. What are the custom parameters in the API url which will help me get only the information I am looking for?

PS: I know I can manage & eliminate the unwanted information through the app as well however I do not want to unnecessarily pile up lot of data & do filters in the App.
Thanks for your time.

Modern versions of WordPress have the REST API built into core therefore a plugin isn't required.
To check the arguments for an API call, take a look at the documentation. For retrieving a post, see: https://developer.wordpress.org/rest-api/reference/posts/#retrieve-a-post. There are no arguments for limiting the data provided by the response.
While it is possible to modify the response (https://developer.wordpress.org/rest-api/extending-the-rest-api/modifying-responses/), I'd advise against it.
As you pointed out in your question, this data can be managed on the app side. I'd argue that is where you should be dealing with it. It's not about eliminating 'unwanted information' but rather recognising the information you do want.
I am trying to use the Jira REST API to submit issues.
This answer gives a POST method to submit issues
how to create an issue in jira via rest api?
Is there a way to integrate POST with html so you could submit things from a webpage?
If this is not possible, is there another way to create jira issues from a webpage?
I initially tried using the issue collector but it does not offer enough flexibility.
We are trying to have three required fields that combine to form the description, much like how the first example feedback from in the issue collector has a rating and then "what did you like" "what did you not like" boxes.
Sorry this question was initially rather unclear.
Thank you!
The JIRA API is primarily intended for use from scripts, not from web pages. There is no way to securely allow a web page to access the JIRA API directly.
If you want to allow users to create JIRA issues from a web page, use a JIRA issue collector.
Can google script be used to make the list broadcast api for you tube and the stream and basically can you make the broadcast samples using scripts i have made the other samples but it is unclear if scripts can be used to the broadcast. Also it appears that depending on the manor of which i access the scripts app I get different options. For instance if i access the the scripts app using google drive I can share and other stuff that is not available if i access the google drive though api and the regular free account. I wonder if there is a better way to access to get all the services? I think before the scripts service would not work for the broadcast. however it appears it has been updated is that because i have a credit card on file now? i notice i have more options now than before in scripts.
I found the answer yes you can make broadcast api from you tube ver (3) on google scripts as long as you have a credit card on file. That's cool google deserves to get paid. With out your card key elements are missing in scripts and everyplace else. Makeing it difficult if not impossible for hacks like me to get the api back on the internet. But with a credit card on file wow two clicks and its done no coding nada just change out the public api credential. I just wish this would have been told to me months ago. and please everyone forget about java, go, java-script and everything else if you want a web-service or web app from youtube api. Use in this order Python .php google scripts. But i did learn how to become a expert developer its called master card. this is my experience only and i still think its a great thing but if your not a genius use your card you will feel like one.
I'm converting my Play 2 application to a SPA and I'm trying to figure out how to still use SecureSocial for authentication.
I'm removing all the HTML templates (except the ones used by SecureSocial to send emails) and modifying my controllers to only provide JSON responses.
Is it possible to prevent SecureSocial from rendering HTML and let my application exchange authentication data in JSON format? Is there any example or tutorial that explains this topic? I've been googling for a few days now and unable to find any useful or at least understandable information for a newbie like me.
Latest changes in master made SecureSocial more friendly with mobile and SPA apps. You can now use the LoginApi controller to authenticate a user using the UsernamePasswordProvider or any of the OAuth2 based providers.
With the somewhat recent update to the Twitter API, links for JSON pages don't seem to work anymore. I'm wondering how I can get a link similar to this one: http://search.twitter.com/search.json?q=apple (which would find tweets about apple). This link is broken (as you'll see if you click on it).
Yes your link is deprecated now, the link would be like this for api v1.1:
https://api.twitter.com/1.1/search/tweets.json?q=apple
PS: You will need to create an account then authorize your application.
The Twitter oauth API V1 is deprecated completely as of late June. You need to change your code API V1.1 which allows you to view the content in the json file via authentication only.
Like #meda said, you need to have an application to run it with.
Once creating an application at twitter, you can use any twitter oauth library to collect the data from the json files.
ASFIK,https://github.com/abraham/twitteroauth [Abraham's twitter oauth] is the best for starters to learn the flow of authentication and easy access of twitter informations.
