I am currently working on a project to test rest API.
How do I access the API data to test it?
Is it possible to extract Json data from an public url and test it??!
I guess, you are searching a way to test API, It is very simple.
Most of the time, I use to test my api using Postman- Rest Client of Google chrome
Link of postman.
You can select method(GET/POST) there and also you can add header parameters with your API Url.
And yes, you can extract json Data from public url and you can test it. For that, you can write a code on any programming language.

Can I use Postman to send the results of an API request directly to my website using javascript? The reasoning would be to keep my API keys private and use the Postman scripting to re-use queries. I would like to then store this API financial data (probably JSON or convert to CSV) in the cloud (Google Sheets, etc) and use it to reference older data.
Postman -> Cloud -> HTML
Why not use a server which is configured to make the requests with the private tokens?
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 trying to develop a simple NodeJS web app that can more or less replace the Cloud Foundry (CF) CLI. I'm following the API documentation to send the application.zip to the CF Service, however I get an error response Unsupported Media Type.
For the application part of the body I'm sending the application.zip file that is uploaded from the browser.
For the resources part of the body I'm sending an empty Json array. My understanding is that as there is nothing uploaded initially there are no pre-uploaded resources that I want to specify, hence the array is empty.
With the Unsupported Media Type response, I suspect you send invalid request headers to the API. There is a CloudFoundry API client written in node.js and you may read the source code to see how they upload the app code.
If that does not help you, please refine your question and add some code that you have.
I have a URL to rest web service (made in WCF with JSON endpoint) that I call by passing JSON with all parameters.
But I don't know some parameters names.
Is there some tool where I can enter service URL and method name to get JSON example that I must pass to this method?
I know that tools like this exist for SOAP services but I need for REST.
I just tried to use wcf test client but I can't load the JSON endpoint it's only for SOAP.

There are various addons for rest and soap services. you can try as per your requirement.
I need to be able to consume some JSON data in a POST request from another web app. I have tried looking at the various methods on the Request class, but nothing seems to give me the JSON I need.
Using Request.Form will not work, since it is not coming from a form, but another web app. The content type is application/json, and from examining the whole HTTP request, I know the JSON is in there. What is the best way to get at this JSON data?
Note: I am working from within an action on a controller.
I think you can get your JSON from your model parameter inside the Action of the Controller. Check out this article that explains a bit of what I mean.

Since you are consuming data from another web app I would use a REST web service instead of a controller in an MVC application. You cans use the ASP.NET Web API which makes it easy to setup a REST web API and it is tightly integrated in with MVC 4, which is now in Beta. If the communication is cross domain (i.e. different servers and/or ports) you will need to use JSONP. You can go to this StackOverflow QA for directions on how to use JSONP with Web API.
