i'm making a new application using Parse.com as a backend, i'm trying to make less requests to the Parse, I have a class which is pointing to another object of another class.
Class1(things):
ObjectID Name Category(pointer)
JDFHSJFxv Apple QSGKqf343
Class2(Categories):
ObjectID Name Number Image
QSGKqf343 Fruits 45 http://myserver.com/fruits.jpeg
when i'm trying to retreive data for my first class things using REST API i'm getting this json object :
{
"results": [
{
"Name": "Apple",
"createdAt": "2015-07-12T02:50:20.291Z",
"objectId": "JDFHSJFxv",
"category": {
"__type": "Pointer",
"className": "Teams",
"objectId": "QSGKqf343"
},
"updatedAt": "2015-07-12T02:55:33.696Z"
}
]
}
the json doesn't contains all the data included in the object i'm pointing to, I will have to make another request to get all the data of that object,
is There any way to fix that
You need to tell Parse to return the related object in your query, via the include key.
e.g., add the following to your CURL --data-urlencode 'include=category'

I was thinking about the possibility of executing a specific http method (POST or PUT) in POSTMAN without specifying it.
I mean; imagine if there was a field in a JSON file called: METHOD within 2 possible states: 'I' corresponding to INSERT OR POST and the another one: 'U' related to UPDATE or PUT
Something like this: (please, do note the field called "method"):
[
{
"sku": "95LB645R34ER",
"method": 'I'
"payload": {
"price": "147000",
"tax_percentage": "US-21",
"store_code": "B2BUSD",
"markup_top": "1.62",
"status": "1",
"group_prices": [
{
"group": "CLASS A",
"price": "700038.79",
"website": "B2BUSD"
}
]
}
},
{
"sku": "95TYS34344ER",
"method": 'U'
"payload": {
"price": "69978",
"tax_percentage": "US-21",
"store_code": "B2BUSD",
"markup_top": "9.99",
"status": "1",
"group_prices": [
{
"group": "CLASS B",
"price": "88888.79",
"website": "B2BUSD"
}
]
}
}
]
I would like to run that JSON using the Collection Runner but i have no idea how to do the trick. I mean, everytime i generate a collection i have to specify the HTTP METHOD otherwise it wont know what to do.
I want the program to adjust that by looking at the JSON file, if "method":'I' then, perform a POST or if "method":'U' execute a PUT method. Do you get me?
I've been reading the documentation but i did not find something like that or maybe i did not understand. I'm not an expert on POSTMAN :(
Can you help me?
EDIT:
Alright, i did this:
In the request UI, use the {{METHOD}} syntax where you would see the HTTP method. This is an editable field as it allows you to add custom HTTP methods.
In the file, use the METHOD key and any HTTP verb as the value. Ensure that it's part of each object in the datafile as you will need it for each iteration.
I am designing a REST call that should deliver information for a location (lat/lon) and consider the user context/configuration.
As the number of user properties is high and nested, I am not sure, what is the correct way to design a new query (GET vs POST). Currently we use a POST request for simplicity - the query payload could look like this, but is custom and very different for each user. It also includes an array of multiple configuration items. Currently the request looks like this:
POST http://api.something.com/locationInformation
{
"location": {
"accuracy": 30,
"coordinates": [
16.34879820048809,
48.230067741347334
],
"provider": "network",
"timestamp": "2016-01-06T12:00:00.000Z"
},
"userConfiguration": [
{
"id": "asdfasdfasdfs09898sdf",
"values": [
"false"
]
},
{
"id": "iojkljio230909sdjklsdf",
"values": [
"99jkjiouio89",
"sdfilkjöjfoi093s09sdf"
]
}
]
}
So my question is: is it in such a case ok to "abuse" a POST request in order to query information?
Is there an elegant way to pass such data using a GET request?
Yes u can pass this data using a GET request by passing it to a request header.
use the header() method.Initialize a String variable say String data=//your json; and pass it to the header as follows header("data",data) in your client while building the request.
I have some Java REST APIs which will be invoked via JIRA Webhook configuration.
Now, when JIRA webhook is invoking REST API, there are large no. of custom fields (like customfield_17270) which contain useful data.
For example, I have configured "Create Issue" event in JIRA webhook i.e. whenever any issue will be created in JIRA, my REST API will be invoked. While creating issue in JIRA, for example, there is a field named "Issue Title" whose value is "XXX". In JSON payload, ideally key-value pair should be "Issue Title":"XXX" but it is like "Custom_Field109":"XXX".
Now the problem is how to map this dynamic JSON to Java Object.
Is there anyone who has faced similar problem.
Each time you receive the webhook, you'll need to map each custom id (e.g. customfield_10070) to it's name by querying the field JIRA REST API at GET: /rest/api/2/field
...which will give you something like this:
[
{
"id": "issuetype",
"name": "Issue Type",
"custom": false,
"orderable": true,
"navigable": true,
"searchable": true,
"clauseNames": [
"issuetype",
"type"
],
"schema": {
"type": "issuetype",
"system": "issuetype"
}
},
{
"id": "customfield_10070",
"name": "FAQ Necessary?",
"custom": true,
"orderable": true,
"navigable": true,
"searchable": true,
"clauseNames": [
"cf[10070]",
"FAQ Necessary?"
],
"schema": {
"type": "string",
"custom": "com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.customfieldtypes:radiobuttons",
"customId": 10070
}
},
...
]
You should then easily be able to iterate over the fields from the webhook JSON and map the custom field id to its display name.
I was able to discuss this issue with JIRA internal team and they provided me custom fields mapping to their JIRA display name.
Basically, when we receive Json keys like Custom_field109 then it means 109 is internal database id for this attribute.
Now, based on given mapping, I parsed JSON to get required keys and then through Jackson library, I was able to map JSOn to Java.
Is possible (sending a specific parameter in request) remove part of JSON response?
Like the Youtube API v3 part parameter: The part parameter specifies a comma-separated list of one or more video resource properties that the API response will include.
Thanks,
The Vimeo API supports a fields whitelist, so instead of saying "exclude this", you include a list of everything you want.
There is more documentation here: https://developer.vimeo.com/api/spec#json-filter
But the idea is you add the parameter fields, and a comma separated list of fields. Nested data should be broken up with periods. So the following representation
{
"name": "dashron",
"websites": [{
"name": "facebook"
},{
"name": "twitter"
}],
"metadata": {
"albums": {
"uri": "...",
"options": "...",
"total": "..."
}
}
Is the result of an API call with the following fields parameter
fields=name,websites.name,metadata.albums

I uploaded a JSON file to Parse, one of my "columns" is an array of Pointers, but it's not pointing to the objectId field, like so:
{ "Tags": [
{
"__type": "Pointer",
"className": "TAGS_Categories",
"TAGS": "Tag1"
},
{
"__type": "Pointer",
"className": "TAGS_Categories",
"TAGS": "Tag2"
},
{
"__type": "Pointer",
"className": "TAGS_Categories",
"TAGS": "Tag3"
}
]
}
But after I imported the file to Parse, this is what appears under "Tags":
[{},{},{}]
My questions are:
1) is the data somehow hidden and it's just not appearing on the website's spreadsheet?
2) if it's truly gone, what would the best way to fix my JSON file so that it will appear?
Help :-(
When uploading content you need to follow the required data format. Pointers are connected by a combination of the class name and the object id for the item to connect to. Without the object id the item in the data store can't be found (a name lookup will not be performed).
You need to update your JSON payload to include the object ids.
Each item must have the fields:
{"__type":"Pointer","className":"XXXX","objectId":"YYYYYYYYYY"}
