I want to have a full dump of a rest API. Now I have to query on everything but I just want to have everything of the API in one file (csv or json).
How can I do this?
Thanks!
There's no one size fits all answer for this. Every API works differently, and some might have a specific feature for this.
If the service you are using is truly RESTful (as in: uses hyperlinks for everything), you might be able to just use a mirror/spider tool to get all the data, but very few services that advertise themselves as REST really are.
"full dump of a rest API" do you mean you want to have file specification of API? If so, you can a have a look at this tool (http://editor.swagger.io/#/) for describing rest api interfaces.

I'm trying to log autocomplete responses from a gmail "people" server, and I'm trying to find a program or tool to do this, like the network section in chrome dev tools. I tried using a web crawler script, but authentication would be a mess. I also tried Wireshark, but it was all garble to me and probably the wrong way to go. Is this even possible? Can somebody help me, I'm totally out of my comfort zone here. please see attached image
It would be best to find an API that google makes public for the data that you need and use that to query the data. For people, google does have an API. Have a look here: https://developers.google.com/people
Tools commonly used to make HTTP queries are https://www.postman.com/ and https://curl.haxx.se/
Does anyone (you know who you are) know exactly what is disappearing when Autodesk deprecates the /v1 equivalent of the ModelDerivative API?
I've taken care of everything that was in the blog post here:
https://forge.autodesk.com/cloud_and_mobile/2016/09/autodesk-forge-apis-migrating-from-v1-to-v2.html
But I also have some calls such as:
/viewingservice/v1/:URN/status
and:
/viewingservice/v1/items/:dbpath object_ids.json.gz
That were not specifically mentioned. Will these also need to be modified?
These endpoints will no longer be valid. The status of a translation can be obtained by using the GET :urn/manifest endpoint.
We have official SDK's for multiple programming languages that will make it easier to handle the REST calls.
To download the derivatives of a model, the SDK's do not expose direct methods so you actually have to issue the calls "directly". Take a look at the extract.io sample that expose the full download workflow, more specifically there.
Hope that helps
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.
Few days ago I was able to make request to:
https://drive.google.com/a/{{domain}}/file/d/{{docDriveId}}/image?pagenumber=1&w=400
Via this API I was able to get image preview on multi-page documents.
Seems it's there, but times-out after some time. It doesn't work anymore. Does anyone know what happened? It seems there's no documentation on this API.
On the other hand, I am aware of the thumbnailLink URL when getting document object via API, but this will only get 1st page preview.
Any alternative solutions to this?
Thanks a lot,
M
That URL is not a part of the official Drive API and is not guaranteed to remain stable. The Drive API doesn't include the ability to fetch per-page image previews of documents, but you may want to investigate using the embedLink as an alternative: https://developers.google.com/drive/v2/reference/files
I am using REST Console.
I have to add multiple attachment with different parameter key. But I am not able to find option for this.
Is there is any other Extension available?
You have a couple other options:
Chrome:
Postman - REST Client
Advanced REST client
Firefox:
RESTClient
REST Easy (thanks to Nathan)
See if some of them meet your needs
I would definitely suggest DHC for chrome. For quite some time now I am using it on daily basis and I can say it works just fine and have features like saving entire requests under specific project -> method.
Here's demo: https://www.sprintapi.com/dhcs.html
Here's google chrome store link: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/dhc-resthttp-api-client/aejoelaoggembcahagimdiliamlcdmfm?hl=en
If you just search for REST API console within google store you'll find many more.
All the best
