Currently we import our bank transactions. Through the REST API I read all these transactions and try to match them to our internal invoices.
If I find a match I need to change the GLAccountCode from for example 1000 to 2000 for this particular BankEntryLine. All I see on the BankEntryLine is that I can do a GET or POST but no PUT method.
Is there something wrong with my approach? Like do I have to create something else that reconciles this transaction or is there a different way of updating this transaction line?
Example BankEntryLine:
{
"d": {
"__metadata": {
"uri": "https://start.exactonline.nl/api/v1/000000/financialtransaction/BankEntryLines(guid'123000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000')",

API documentation: https://start.exactonline.nl/docs/HlpRestAPIResources.aspx?SourceAction=10
BankEntryLine: https://start.exactonline.nl/docs/HlpRestAPIResourcesDetails.aspx?name=FinancialTransactionBankEntryLines
There is no PUT or DELETE available for this API. I don't directly see another way to update/delete those lines.
Only possible workaround is to make a general journal entry to balance the amount of that suspense GL account to the one you need/want. But that will give you more entries and more lines to match.

Is there any way of getting a list of albums for an artist (band), along with a link to album art and runtime?
I've been given this endpoint, but the data it returns is confusing:
http://musicbrainz.org/ws/2/recording?query=artist:%22Queen%22%20and%20type:album&fmt=json

If someone can explain this data to me, then I don't need another endpoint. But I've been hunting around the musicbrainz docs and they're not super helpful.
Preferably it would be with one call, but I can do successive calls if necessary.
Thanks for your help.
First off:
Is there any way of getting a list of albums for an artist (band), along with a link to album art and runtime?
Yes, definitely.
First you will want to find the artist, say, the Queen that did Bohemian Rhapsody. They're identified with MusicBrainz Artist ID "0383dadf-2a4e-4d10-a46a-e9e041da8eb3", so you can do a browse request for Releases by this artist: https://musicbrainz.org/ws/2/release/?artist=0383dadf-2a4e-4d10-a46a-e9e041da8eb3&inc=recordings&fmt=json (note the inc=recordings)
This gives you most of what you are asking for. A list of releases and their runtime—kind of. Each Release should have one or more medium properties that in turn have a track-list with a number of tracks. The sum of the length of each of these tracks is what makes up the runtime (the length is given in milliseconds).
For cover art, you may notice that the output has a cover-art-archive property. For cover art, MusicBrainz uses Cover Art Archive which uses MusicBrainz IDs as identifiers. The cover-art-archive attribute states whether any cover art exists in Cover Art Archive and a few details about this—e.g., does CAA have any images at all (artwork)? Does it have a back image (back) and/or a front image (front)? How many images are there in all for the release (count)? If the cover-art-archive→artwork is true, we can go on and fetch cover art from the CAA. The CAA's API is really simple: to get the "front" image of a release, say the 1974 UK single "Killer Queen" that has MusicBrainz Release ID "a2d12ee8-9aeb-4d91-bfab-5c21f7a577fc", you can simply do https://coverartarchive.org/release/a2d12ee8-9aeb-4d91-bfab-5c21f7a577fc/front
You can also do https://coverartarchive.org/release/a2d12ee8-9aeb-4d91-bfab-5c21f7a577fc to get a JSON document with more details about what cover art images are available (e.g., this one has two images: one Front+Medium and one Back+Medium image).
The Cover Art Archive API is documented at https://musicbrainz.org/doc/Cover_Art_Archive/API and the MusicBrainz API/web service documentation can be found at https://musicbrainz.org/doc/Development/XML_Web_Service/Version_2
Note that using browse requests you can page through the results using offset and vary the amount of results per query using limit, see the "Paging" section under the browse request section in the MusicBrainz WS documentation.
Secondly: Though you don't ask about this directly, you're using a search query using a generic term in your question, so I thought I'd talk about this for a bit. In MusicBrainz everything is identified using MusicBrainz identifiers (IDs). (I kind of mentioned them in the first section too.)
The reason for this is that many, many names are not unique. There are as of this writing three unique artists known as "Queen" in MusicBrainz: https://musicbrainz.org/search?query=%22queen%22&type=artist&method=advanced – not counting any of the 321 other artists that have "queen" as part of their name. Without more information, it is not possible for MusicBrainz to know which of them you want to find out information from, so your first step will likely be to somehow either narrow the search (e.g., add type:group narrows the search to 123 results, using country:gb limits to 21 results, doing both gives 11 results (see the search syntax documentation for more details)) or somehow filter afterwards.
Once you've narrowed it down to the specific artist you want, you can continue with the steps outlined above to get the details you want. The steps for narrowing it down will depend on your specific application/use case.
Finally: You seem to have some missing understanding at the asbstract level about how MusicBrainz's data is structured. E.g., all of the above is assuming that by album you mean a specific released version like the 1974 UK "Killer Queen" single, and not a more generic concept of a release like any version of the "Killer Queen" single, which in MusicBrainz terminology would be a Release Group.
https://musicbrainz.org/doc/MusicBrainz_Entity is a list of entities used in MusicBrainz. Understanding the differences between a Release Group and a Release as well as between Tracks and Recordings (and Works) will put you in a much better position to effectively use the web service and the MusicBrainz data in general.
https://musicbrainz.org/doc/MusicBrainz_Database/Schema is a introduction to how MusicBrainz is structured. Knowing how artist credits, ("advanced") relationships, and mediums play into things is also likely to save you a lot of headache later.
You need to understand the format of the data returned, copy the result in to a JSON formatting service such as https://jsonformatter.curiousconcept.com/
You will then realise you have multiple artists in the returned data, which is why it's not as simple as "albums by artist"
I’m guessing the "length" data is in milliseconds.
I'm working on an app, which is supposed to show data from two nodes(Firebase). Firebase DB is structured as:
{
"College": {
"4F2EAB65": {
"id": "4F2EAB65",
"name": "SomeCollege"
},
"A3C2ED31": {
"id": "A3C2ED31",
"name": "OtherCollege"
},
"F967B5A0": {
"id": "F967B5A0",
"name": "CoolCollege"
}
},
"Student": {
"3E20545B": {
"college-ID": "4F2EAB65",
"id": "3E20545B",
"name": "A"
},
"6FDEE194": {
"college-ID": "F967B5A0",
"id": "6FDEE194",
"name": "B"
}
}
I want to fetch student details having details: "id", "name", "college-ID", "college-Name"(Need to fetch "college-Name" by "college-ID").
I've achieved this using for loop at front end. Is there any way to get this achieved at Firebase server, also can we make something like join (SQL).
Thanks.
There is no support for server-side joins in the Firebase Realtime Database. Client-side joins are quite normal.
The alternative is to duplicate the data upon writing, so that you don't have to read from two locations.
What's best for your application is a matter of personal preference, your comfort level with the code involved vs data duplication, and the use-cases of your app.
Client-side jons are likely not as slow as you may think. See http://stackoverflow.com/questions/35931526/speed-up-fetching-posts-for-my-social-network-app-by-using-query-instead-of-obse/35932786#35932786
I am using Sync trying to parse some JSON to Core Data.
My "Creature" entity has a parent-children relationship that looks like this:
and the JSON has a format similar to this:
[
{
"id": 1,
"name": "Mad king",
"parent": null,
"children": [
5
]
},
{
"id": 2,
"name": "Drogon",
"parent": 5,
"children": []
},
{
"id": 3,
"name": "Rhaegal",
"parent": 5,
"children": []
},
{
"id": 4,
"name": "Viserion",
"parent": 5,
"children": []
},
{
"id": 5,
"name": "Daenerys",
"parent": 1,
"children": [
2,
3,
4
]
}
]
The Mad king has one child Daenerys who has 3 children (Drogon, Rhaegal and Viserion).
Now, I know that Sync does support this sort of setup (where the JSON contains only the ids of parents/children instead of whole objects) and I suspect I have to parse the file twice - one for just getting all the objects and the second to create the relationships among them. For the second to work, I need to rename children to children_ids and parent to parent_id (as described in their README).
However I can't understand how exactly would I do that. Is it possible to ignore the parent/children during the first pass and then take them into account (using the modified keys) during the second?
Or could someone maybe propose a better solution that would (ideally) require just one pass?
According to the documentation:
For example, in the one-to-many example, you have a user, that has
many notes. If you already have synced all the notes then your JSON
would only need the notes_ids, this can be an array of strings or
integers. As a side-note only do this if you are 100% sure that all
the required items (notes) have been synced, otherwise this
relationships will get ignored and an error will be logged.
So you can, in theory, just blindly perform a full sync to actually get all the models(letting it fail on the relationships), and then sync again immediately after to get the relationships.
If you want to avoid the errors, you might want to write some helper functions to create 2 sets of JSON for these models, 1 to define the objects, and then a second to define the relationships. Either way, you'd need to do 2 passes.
I have retrieved a json object using typhoeus gem.
url = 'www.example.com' <br>
request = ::Typhoeus::Request.get(url,userpwd: username + ":" + pass)<br>
content = JSON.parse(request.body)
I would like to count the occurence of "Priority":"high" including the quotes inside the json response. How do I go about doing this?
Edit:
"priority":"high" is a key value pair. It is deeply nested inside the json tree.(Don't how deeply it is nested). All I need is count of occurence of "priority":"high"
Any and all suggestion is welcome.

I'm trying to create a planner plan using Graph as per http://graph.microsoft.io/en-us/docs/api-reference/beta/api/user_post_plans

As per the docs I'm POSTing to https://graph.microsoft.com/beta/me/plans with the following body:

with no luck. The previously generated group looks like the following:

I've tried various combinations of request bodies. With and without createdBy values. With and without owner values. Nothing seems to work.
Any ideas where I'm going wrong? The error is consistent across my integration tests as well as through the graph explorer.
Thanks
As Sriram mentioned, this was a documentation bug. It has just been fixed. The updated URL is: https://graph.microsoft.io/en-us/docs/api-reference/beta/api/plan_post_plans
The issue was in which endpoint to call to create a plan. You should call "/plans" instead of "/me/plans". You should also be aware that some of the data you are passing in is read-only. You should not include "createdBy" because this is a read-only property set by the service, not you. The plan resource documentation will show you all of the properties that can be set on a plan.
The last thing to keep in mind is that you can only have one plan per group. If you try to make a second plan, you'll receive an error about this from the API.
In Juli 2017 the API was modified and released. The new endpoint for creating a plan now is:
https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/planner/plans
with a request body e.g. like this:
{
"owner": "<group-id>",
"title": "my plan title"
}
where <group-id> must be the id of a previously created group.
Apologies for the confusion here. The documentation has a bug will be updated shortly. To create a plan, please ensure that a group is created, and the user is member of group. Then create the plan with owner set to group id, and createdBy set to user id.
For this issue, can you please try following the below steps exactly?
Create a unified group
Add user to be member of unified group
Create plan by sending {“owner”: group-id, “title”: string} - do not send "createdBy" field since it's a read-only field
For adding tasks to buckets, it should work just fine if you sent
{“planId”: plan-id, “bucketId”: bucket-id, “title”: string}
If this still doesn't work, feel free to reach out to me at lixian#microsoft.com.
Thanks,
Sean
