Im trying to validate if the contacts that I have imported to the outlook contacts is been important, I was thinking to use and API call to get an JSON file to see if the contacts have been imported correctly or not.
I am fairly new to using API calls and Im not sure how to use Microsofts outlook APIs to achieve my goal.
any snippet code in Java, C#, Node.js would help
Im also not sure how I can get the auth key
Thanks in advance
First you need to decide what kind of authentication approach you need to use, and then you need to register your application. This article can help you decide: https://developer.microsoft.com/en-us/graph/docs/authorization/auth_overview.
Once you have acquired a token, use the Contacts REST API to work with contacts data. There are examples here:
https://msdn.microsoft.com/office/office365/APi/contacts-rest-operations
You can also use the Graph Explorer to test out various API calls and see the results in JSON: https://developer.microsoft.com/en-us/graph/graph-explorer

I'm using an API to receive information from a server. I'm authorising using a token. I can query using curl or various api testers online. But now I'm trying to learn how to implement (and request) the results in practice.
I'd like to query, parse and display the json result on a web page (preferably a Wordpress site).
So I need to make a get request, authorise myself using my token, and receive the result and then display it in a nice way.
How do I do that?
This is a vague question, not really sure if you are making requests from just one side but you have 2 options, albeit one being better than the other.
You can create add multiple functions inside your themes function.php file to extend its capabilities but again these are limited to only the theme you are using.
I would recommend that you build a plugin, this will give you the flexibility to use both JS and PHP to do whatever you need to do. With this method you can create a shortcode to display the results from your API query.
You will need to learn to use the Wordpress function wp_remote_get() to perform external API calls.
Here is a tutorial with more information:

Parse JSON from Remote API
Hope this helps
I was wondering how I could link my application to kraken.com server.
For example, making a login activity that sends the username and password to the server and if it's correct, open another activity.
The kraken's API is given by the following link: https://www.kraken.com/help/api
The problem is that I don't know how this API exactly works. How can I make HTTP Request and what is json? Consider I'm new in this area (API).
So firstly, JSON stand for Javascript Object Notation, it's a syntax for exchanging or storing data.
I'm assuming you're using Java since you're using Android Studio.
Looking at Kraken's API page: https://www.kraken.com/help/api#example-api-code
They don't currently have support a 3rd party Java Library for API access. So you would be looking a using a RESTful approach.
Here is an example of how to use that approach in Java: https://www.mkyong.com/webservices/jax-rs/restfull-java-client-with-java-net-url/
I'm currently working on an application in titanium appcelerator, alloy - where I'm pulling data from wordpress via rest api.
My problem now is that I need to get the data from the the users of the of the wordpress site. Info like name, email ect.
Anyone ever tried or know how it's done? The end tag: /users? Doesn't seems to be enough
In accordance with official documentation on WP-API docs data that you need is not accessable through standart API requests and endpoints (it is only "visible" during editing).
But you can create your own route and using internal API/hooks to get all data and return it in json format in prefered way (see Adding Endpoints section on provided before site).
I'm making a Twitter account statistics program that reads tweets, retweet counts, and favorite counts. I could attempt to read the user's Twitter account URL line by line and parse the information from there, but I was wondering if there was a public API or part of Twitter that just spits out the raw data without formatting it all pretty for web browsers? Not only would this be more efficient in the program, but would also be much neater.
It seems as though API 1.1 uses JSON to fetch data, but I need to make a developer account and create unique identifiers in order to access such data. Is it worth it? Is there some sort of alternative that would be faster and easier?
All API calls to Twitter now require OAuth authentication, so there is unfortunately no way around signing up for a developer account and creating an app. It's not even possible to use a service that makes the requests on your behalf, as this is re-syndication which is forbidden by Twitter's API terms, so you need to make the calls yourself.
I've got an android and iphone app that both get the required data from a webserver. The data is sent via json to the client. Using this setup other people might simply retrieve the url the app is calling and this way could make use of the data that I gather with my scripts on the server. To make it short: I don't want that :)
My idea is to make the json unreadable for example by encrypting it. This would make it a little harder to retrieve the information since this way some who would like to use my service would had to decompile the app an lookup any decryption stuff I had implemented.
Therefore two questions:
Do there exist some libraries that already offer such a functionality (Server side is Java)?
Does anyone of you have any other suggestions how I could protect my api from unwanted guests?
Thanks in advance :)
I think the options available would be...
to lock down the API to Authorized/Authenticated users.
Using BSON to obfuscate the data.
You could always use oAuth to allow the users to authenticate based on an account they already have: Facebook, Twitter, Google etc.
