Is there an easy accessible function to get manifest data in javascript to check if the model is done translating?
something like viewerApp.getManifest().progress. Where viewerApp is a ViewingApplication.
Is there something like this, or should I retrieve the data via server code and pass it on to javascript.
No, there is not an client side API as you mentioned to get the progress of model translation.
I am interested in the reason why doing that way. Actually, the ViewingApplication is a client side API and is used to view the model when the model is already translated, it's not suggested to request the translation progress by this API.
If you want to get the status of the translation progress, Yes, using the GET :urn/Manifest to get the progress.

Just started working on an existing project making use of the Exact Online API.
While I was debugging the project I suddenly only started receiving XML results instead of JSON results from the API. I did not change anything about the endpoints being queried I was just running the existing queries trying to figure some things out.
These are the REST API docs: https://start.exactonline.nl/docs/HlpRestAPIResources.aspx
These are the XML docs: https://support.exactonline.com/community/s/knowledge-base#All-All-DNO-Content-xmlsamplecode
Typical REST API endpoints look like this:
https://start.exactonline.be/api/v1/xxxxxx/salesinvoice/SalesInvoices
Typical XML endpoints look like this:
https://start.exactonline.be/docs/XMLDownload.aspx
I also did not change any settings. I only have access to the tokens and api. I don't have access to the account.
This is an example of an endpoint and query where I previously received JSON but am now receiving XML:
https://start.exactonline.be/api/v1/xxxxxx/salesinvoice/SalesInvoices?$filter=InvoiceID eq guid'xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxx'&$select=InvoiceID
I tried this manually with Postman and also using the existing code from the project.
Is there some setting I am unaware of? Am i querying the wrong way? Maybe there have been some changes to the API I am unaware of that aren't listed in the release notes?
Please provide the request header Accept in your HTTP request that specifies what content format you prefer to receive: application/json. The default of Exact Online APIs is XML (but seldom to never used).
I'm trying to parse the last received message from Pushbullet. I'm currently doing it using Clicks, which means that I do every single clicks, sendkeys and all the rest needed actions automatically. In other words it is just a simulation of the user. One of the biggest con of the method is that whenever xpath or a class or id of the element changes which I'm aiming with Selenium, whole cycle fails and the test case can not proceed operating.
I want to change the way I'm doing. Particularly, I want to send a json request to Pushbullet API and then get the response in return.
I just couldn't decide from where and how to start doing.
Could you guys please tell me the way from where should I start and what are the steps that needs to be covered in order to finally reach the finish line?
Thank you in advance.
I noticed that this question is tagged under Selenium, but in your question, you express interest in switching to an API approach. I will try to provide some advice to you on this.
Selenium Approach
You mention that you tests are brittle, and if anything changes then they fail. This is usually the case with UI tests. If you would like to stick with the Selenium approach, I can try to help you write more robust locators for your WebElements that will not break constantly.
API Approach
You will need to start with the Pushbullet API documentation -- https://docs.pushbullet.com/
To get messages, it looks like you will want to use the chat endpoint -- a sample request looks like this: https://api.pushbullet.com/v2/chats, plus authentication.
Once you fetch the chat objects, you will need to write your own logic to parse each chat object and fetch the most recent message from there.
Depending on what language you are using, you will need to install a REST client package onto your project. I use C#, so RestSharp is the client I like to use.
I recommend installing a REST client interface, such as Postman, to start practicing your API calls. Once you get your API calls working in Postman, you can start writing code to make these API calls.
What other questions do you have about this?
I am new to wso2 API Manager, trying to set it up expose my plain HTTP POST back end calls as a REST API. I am sure this is not a new pattern that I am trying to achieve here. The requirement is to convert the JSON data coming in (has array structures) into the HTTP URL query string parameters.
After some research through the documentation and other posts on this forum, decided to go with the script mediator that would parse the JSON data and convert it to a string that can be appended to the endpoint URL. Some how I am not able to achieve this.
I have followed the following post that seems to be very straight forward. As the original poster suggested, I am also not able to use getPayloadJSON() method. Even have trouble using the work around suggested there due to JSON.parse() not working.

Also, this approach of editing the service bus configuration from source view does not sound like the correct option. Is there another elegant solution to achieve this? Thanks for the help in advance.
I was able to get both methods working by using an external script instead of the inline java script. Thanks
I've been looking into if it's possible to create a web based version of my Chrome Plugin
now that it's relying completely on Trakt.TV's JSON API.
According to angular's documentation, it's possible to intercept HTTP requests at several levels, one is the HTTP Backend itself (mainly used for testing though) and the other is HTTPInterceptor.get
The basic idea is to wrap calls to Trakt.TV's JSONP api through http://json2jsonp.com/ and have them returned transparently to get around cross site scripting restrictions. This would not only be very useful for my own project, but for a lot of other people daeling with the same issues too (therefore i'll release the module after it's done, but I want to do it properly)
The basics should be simple:
Hook the $http.get request at the right level
Overwrite the original request made
Cancel an optional other request already set up
Hook it through $http.jsonp(http://json2jsonp.com/)
Return the original promise's success/fail when done
Questions:
Has anyone built anything like this yet? (Github searches revealed nothing)
Would you suggest using the HTTPBackend or the HTTPInterceptor?
why can't you just use the jsonp helper function?
httpBakend is a mockup service to fake a backend server is not used on live code. http interceptors would do what you want you just need to attach the callback function name to your request if the url contains what ever name you want to filter and then in the response interceptor you have to pass response to the callback function so the json to be evaluated. be aware that interceptors will inspect every request makde by angular which is not very eficien, unless you are only doing calls to the tv service.
like i said before a better approach is to use $http.jsonp function
https://docs.angularjs.org/api/ng/service/$http#jsonp
a word about interceptors they need to be defined as services and then be passed to HttpProvider during your apps configuration.
I am trying to build my application's admin UI using sling's userManager REST interface, but I would like to customize the json rendering. For example, I would like the response of "Get group" to include the members only if the requestor is a member.
I started by adding libs/sling/group/json.esp but I don't understand how I can get hold of the default response and customize it. Even if I had to query and form the json from scratch, where can I find information about APIs available to get this data from JCR/Sling?
I found that I could use ResourceTraversor to dump the resource object in json form but using new Packages.org.apache.sling.servlets.get.impl.helpers.ResourceTraversor(-1, 10000, resource, true) in the esp throws up an error
There are a few things to note here.
First, you should avoid putting your code under the libs directory. Your app code should live under the apps directory. When attempting to resolve a servlet for a URI, Sling will check apps before it checks libs so if you need to completely override functionality delivered with Sling, you would place your code in apps.
Second, what is (probably, depending on how you have things setup) happening when you request http://localhost:8080/system/userManager/group/administrators.tidy.1.json is the request is being handled by Sling's default GET servlet, because it finds no other script or servlet which is applicable. For research purposes it might be worth looking at the code for the default get servlet, org.apache.sling.servlets.get.impl.DefaultGetServlet, to see what it's using to render JSON. If you need to handle the rendering of a user group in a manner different than what the default GET servlet is doing, then you would need to create a servlet which is listening for requests for resources of type sling/group. It would probably be ideal to create a servlet for this purpose and register it with OSGI. http://sling.apache.org/site/servlets.html provides the various properties you would need to set to ensure the servlet resolver finds your servlet. Your servlet then would handle the request and as such would have direct and easy access to the requested resource.
Third, the particular need you specified is that you do not want the group members to render unless the requesting user is a member of the group requested. This is more of an access control issue than a rendering issue. Sling and Jackrabbit, out of the box, make as few assumptions as possible concerning how you might want your application to be setup. That being the case, you need to establish the access controls that are applicable for your particular use case. The wiki post on Access Control in the Jackrabbit wiki ( http://wiki.apache.org/jackrabbit/AccessControl ) goes into this to an extent.
Using directions from Paul Michelotti's answer, I researched further and found a suitable solution to my problem.
Sling accepts request filters (javax.servlet.Filter) through SCR annotations like the one below
#SlingFilter(scope = SlingFilterScope.REQUEST, order = Integer.MIN_VALUE)
Every request is passed down to the filter before it is processed by the servlet. Using the resourceType, I was able to distinguish requests to group.1.json and group/mygroup.1.json. Since the filter also has access to the current user, I was able to decide to deny the request if it did not abide by my security model and return a 404 status code.
Please refer to this page for details on filters. You can also check out the sample project urlfilter for directions on usage.
