Azure Portal metrics extraction for external use - json

Having scoured the internet for a viable solution I have come up empty handed. I have concluded however that there is no current API for extracting the raw data from the Azure Portal Application Insights and so wondered if anyone else out there has managed to achieve this?
My quandary is, I am wanting to display some of the raw data on a dashing dashboard widget based on some logic and without the basic url that gives me the JSON, I am at a loss.
Any help would be greatly received, even if it is a conclusive, it cannot be done.
Thanks in advance, Mark

Currently, the only method to extract raw data from Azure Application Insights is to export the blob files and extract it from them. There are discussions on Visual Studio forum where people are asking for something simpler to be implemented. Who knows, it may happen.

Server technology that allows client to define it's JSON response format

So last year, someone introduced me to an off-the-shelf database server package/ technology that would take a request from a client and would serve up the information in a JSON format that was defined in the request. Having previously had to develop mobile client applications using apis designed for websites, this seemed like a wondrous thing. Being able to make one call and receive only the data you asked for and in the format that suited your code would be a godsend.
Unfortunately, I didn't get the opportunity to work directly with the technology and I have subsequently forgotten what it was called. Neither Google nor StackOverflow has been my friend. It's difficult to formulate the search terms to get the right hit I suppose. Nobody I currently work with has heard of this and I have lost contact with the people who originally introduced me to it.
It's driving me nuts. Does anyone know the name of this package?
The technology I was thinking of was GraphQL.

Getting the optimize flag to work on a local GraphHopper Routing Service

I have setup a local GraphHopper service on a local server and it works as advertised. I can pass it a set of points via rest, and get back a happy little JSON file of directions and an encoded route. Of course, "out of the box" the routing API is missing a toggle available in the paid Routing API service via graphhopper.com, and that is the optimize=true/false flag. This little addition will not only route between your passed points, but when set to true will also re-order them into the most optimal route.
Now I imagine to get this additional functionality one needs to somehow "bake in" some level of jsprit code. My level of understanding of Java and compiling code however is woefully inadequate here. Looking over numerous jsprit sites the best help I can find is "look at the source code for examples". Is there any sort of guide for building jsprit into the standard graphhopper JAR file, or does anyone know of any pre-built JARs out there with this functionality already built in? it's probably a long shot, but any help would be appreciated.

How to database iOS app data and display it on a webpage

First time post here, so forgive me for any bad etiquette/format.
I will preface by saying:
I have (over the last few months) been developing an iOS app for work. To be more specific, I am developing an inventory app to track bar inventory (liquor, beer, wine, etc). I can give more specifics on request if needed. I have most of the functionality done, only a couple more things I would like to implement. Eventually I will be porting it to Android as well.
At the moment, I have the model objects being archived to the local filesystem for saving and loading of data. However, my goal would be to database the model objects with the ability to display the information on a webpage. My logic is that no matter where the user is, he/she will be able to sign in to a service using a username and password, and view correctly formatted current/past inventories online. This is to allow the ability for a bartender to record the inventory, and have the bar manager view the inventory instances without having to have the physical device that recorded the inventory in his/her possession.
So here is my question:
Without being too general, what kind of service would I need to pull this off? I have a good amount of relevant front-end experience, specifically with iOS, Objective-C, HTML and CSS. However, I have ZERO experience on the back-end. I have researched around the internet, and I am aware of things such as cloud databases, web hosting and MySQL, etc. However, I cannot seem to find a definitive answer without asking my specific question. I suppose I would just like to be pointed in the right direction before investing money and time into a service that may prove useless to my cause.
Any resources and help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!
There's not a definitive answer and you have a lot of options.
For me, the simplest is to set up a server with a database incorporated (mysql for example) and with a web service (written in PHP for example) that manages the database and queries on that.
Online you can find tons of guide on how to write a script in PHP that manages a database:

For the iOS part you can follow also this guide:

Good luck!

Porting to WinRT: Registry information in HKLM/.../TimeZoneInfromation for WinRT/WIN 8 mobile apps

I am trying to port a piece of code to WinRT. The code uses GetTimeZoneInformation API to get time zone information. I validate this information further by querying the Registry. I use following registry keys for the same.
1)(HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\TimeZoneInformation\)
2)(HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Time Zones).
I can explain more if required.
I am hoping WinRT kept this information in some other structure which can be accessed. Does anyone know of any API/Method, WinRT provides as an alternative way to access the information it used to store in the following keys?
Please let me know if i should add more.
Thanks
