I'm hoping to store a JSON file and access it through javascript in a Qualtrics survey. The information does not need to be password protected and I don't want to include any credentials in the Qualtrics survey.
I've been using links to anonymous gists eg. (https://gist.githubusercontent.com/anonymous/591cf9b1dd8fa70d97451cd1569f89be/raw/9984f8f22929d29d6f612189212059bce5157ca4/a_file), but every time I update a gist, that link changes. So, every time I want to change the contents of the gist, I need to copy the new link into the Qualtrics survey Javascript (unfortunately, I can't do this automatically easily in Qualtrics).
I'd like to be able to post the JSON somewhere that I can update programmatically without changing the link. Does anyone have suggests of an API I can use for this purpose? Thanks a lot!
Why not use github's api to get your gist's content by using the gists id.
So for
https://gist.githubusercontent.com/anonymous/591cf9b1dd8fa70d97451cd1569f89be/raw/9984f8f22929d29d6f612189212059bce5157ca4/a_file
the id would be 591cf9b1dd8fa70d97451cd1569f89be and then you can make get requests to https://api.github.com/gists/591cf9b1dd8fa70d97451cd1569f89be. You may need to have public gists though, not anonymous gists to be able to update a gist and use it's id to track changes.

I am trying to find a way to update a custom field automatically within multiple Partner Infusionsoft apps when I manually update the field with new options within our main Infusionsoft app.
The idea is to avoid manually logging into every Partner Infusionsoft app that we manage, individually, to update the custom field options so that they match our main app custom field options when it is updated. The custom field is constantly being updated with new options that need to be mirrored within all of our partner apps.
The process would not need to be entirely automatic. We could manage using a trigger to update the rest of the apps whenever we have manually updated the custom field in our main app.
Can anyone please steer me in the right direction or tell me if this isn't even possible?
Yes this is possible with the API. Unfortunately there isn't a REST webhook for when a custom field is modified, so it would require a constant poll against what you would consider the master application. Constantly check the custom field and see if it's values changed. This is the rest documentation for that:
https://developer.infusionsoft.com/docs/rest/#!/Contact/retrieveContactModelUsingGET
That will include all the possible options for the field.
Unfortunately you can't modify a custom field in the newer REST API so you will have to use xmlrpc. The rest API only let's you create according to the documentation.
Here are the docs for the endpoint you would use with xmlrpc to update all the other apps to match the master application.
https://developer.infusionsoft.com/docs/xml-rpc/#data
https://developer.infusionsoft.com/docs/table-schema/
DataFormField is the custom field information. You would use the data endpoint to modify the values.
Be careful when you are polling the master application to not go over usage limits and apply best practices.
I have an install of Mediawiki for my company which I have tracking page activity currently, but I also want to be able to track page activity per user.
Ideally, I'd like to pass the wgUserName into Google Tag Manager as the userid that Google Analytics sees.
How can I pass the wgUserName into the data layer from the wiki? I just need to get that into Tag Manager.
Thanks!
I don't think you'll need the data layer for this, according to https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Interface/JavaScript
You can access the config via: mw.config and the value for "wgUserName" can be found with "mw.config.get("wgUserName")"
Thus all you need to do in GTM is create a Custom JavaScript variable and reference it:
I'm trying to build a super simple Google Sheet dashboard comparing the prices at D+7 and D+30 in real-time of specific listings/rooms that are both on Airbnb and Booking.com.
On the Booking.com side, it was super easy : I just created a formula concatenating the URL with the check-in/check-out dates, number of guests and trip duration as parameters and using the =IMPORTXML function and the proper class, I was able to automatically retrieve the price.
It is more difficult on Airbnb, as the price is dynamic(see here: https://www.airbnb.com/rooms/25961741). When I use what I think is the proper class, I get a "N/A Error, Imported content is empty" on Google Sheet.
I also tried using the Airbnb API with REGEX functions to extract the price, but the price set in the listing info is a default price, and does not reflect reality:
"price":1160,"price_formatted":"$1160"
https://api.airbnb.com/v2/listings/25961741?client_id=d306zoyjsyarp7ifhu67rjxn52tv0t20&_format=v1_legacy_for_p3&number_of_guests=1
Do you now if there are any other possible way to access this dynamic price and have it automatically parsed into a spreadsheet? It seems that the data I'm looking for in within meta tags on the HTML code and I don't know if it's possible to scrape it into Google sheet using =IMPORT functions.
Maybe with of a script ?
Thanks a lot !
I'm curious if you were unable to yank direct with the ABNB API; what if you tried to directly pull off the site's service? Have a look at this URL:

This is a GET request to ABNB's live page search; now I don't know much about ABNB but I can see from the listings portion of the JSON feed it does have a few pricing factors that differ from the API results you provided; I'm not sure what you need to pull exactly but this may lead you in the right direction; check the 'Listings' array and see if there's something you can possibly use.
Keep in mind if you are looking to automate scraping this data you would want to generate new search sessions; but first you want to see if this is the type of data you're looking for.
Another option, Google CSE's API; I've pulled data in the page headers of sites as they appear in Google based on the Schema.org's tags; but this may be delayed data and it appears you need real-time; the best route would be reserach the above example or try to make sure of ABNB's natural API (they provide its functionality for a reason right?; there must be a way to get what you need).
Hope my answer helped lead you in the right direction!
I want to merge 6 different profiles into one, consolidating FLS, Record Type, Permission sets, Page layouts in salesforce. May I know whats the best possible and easiest way to do it?
Thanks
Use the Salesforce Metadata API to retrieve the 6 profiles in xml form. You can then view all the permissions each profile has and consolidate into one. Then use the Metadata API deploy() to deploy the profile to your Salesforce org.
Salesforce give examples on how to retrieve profiles and the required package.xml to include in the request here: https://developer.salesforce.com/docs/atlas.en-us.api_meta.meta/api_meta/meta_profile.htm
Note: the retrieval content of profiles is relative. i.e to see the profile permissions for Account object, you must include the Account object in your retrieve request.
Salesforce documentation:
https://developer.salesforce.com/docs/atlas.en-us.api_meta.meta/api_meta/file_based.htm

I want to use Zapier to register a new Wordpress user — the trigger will be a new purchase on Gumroad.
This plugin — https://wordpress.org/plugins/json-api-user/ — allows you to register users using a public JSON interface, eg by hitting
https://example.com/api/user/register/?username={{email}}&email={{email}}&nonce=blahblahblah
I'm new to all this, but know that I can get Zapier to insert the purchaser's email from Gumroad into {{email}}.
My question is, how can I do this in a secure way?
(At the moment anyone can hit example.com.com/api/get_nonce/?controller=user&method=register and get the key they need)
And maybe it can even be done without using Zapier?
I'm assuming that the nonce is only good for a short period of time, like a couple minutes? If so, what you want to do is lock down the /api/get_nonce/ endpoint to require a password. That way only authenticated users can get a nonce, which can then be used to create the user.
As for how Zapier fits in, it's a bit complicated to custom build a two-request process like this. You would have to make your own app on the Developer Platform do the nonce call and then the user creation.
I use the following plugin to create users (via Zapier) on my WordPress sites after someone signed up on my Teachable school: WP Webhooks Pro
This plugin allows me to either POST the data to my WordPress site via JSON, XML or a simple form data. In my case, I don't need a nonce, since the plugin generates API keys that I can use to push my data to.
