I am looking for API in Archer. Totally I am unaware of API. Where we will write API code and how to integrate with Archer platform .
Most important what we can achieve using API in Archer ?
Archer supports two APIs. One is SOAP and one is RESTful. Using these APIs a developer can accomplish many of the same types of actions that can be done through the Archer UI including: user management, content save, record search, attachment upload and download, and even triggering a data feed to execute.
The API programming guides are available on the RSA Archer community.
You can host the integration code wherever you like, provided it has access to your archer instance. If your Archer instance is SaaS hosted, your integration code cannot live on your Archer web or services server and will have to be hosted somewhere else. If your Archer instance is self-hosted (on-prem) you can put your integration code on the Archer web or services server, or another server of your choice.
Archer is written in C#.NET, but the API's can be consumed from any language that can issue an HTTP Request.

I am considering using Powerapps as a front end to Sabre. I believe that the no code/low code approach is a potentially useful replacement for the Sabre scripts product in the travel agency community
Has anyone tried creating a customer connector in Powerapps that will connect to the Sabre API's using the Postman collections that Sabre has provided.
I am struggling with the OAuth 2.0 parameters for the connection.
Powerapps OAuth parameters
Any help would be appreciated

Our small CTD operation is struggling with our conversion from SABREScribe to Web development too. My hats off to you if you get this working as we also have a few Power Apps but not connecting to SABRE. I'd be surprised if you can get this working and then how you show the value to the agent desktop. Curious as to your vision. I realize this is not the platform for general discussion but thought I'd just voice this as our Travel tech world is pretty "small"
I have a React-based SPA that I'm trying to test against a versioned backend with its own Database.
In production, the part of the backend is exposed to the outside world via AWS services, like API Gateway. We also use DynamoDB for storing some API-level user details, and Cognito w/ User Pools for authentication. Calls are made to API Gateway, which after authenticating with a Key, makes VPC-link calls to the backend (all of our applications are in a private VPC). Here's a diagram illustrating the relationship:
This is fine when deployed, but I'd want to be able to reproduce this setup locally for development and testing purposes (not deployment). From the reading I was doing about AWS SAM, it seems like it might be the best tool for the job. But getting started with it has been difficult as I'm not sure what the relationship between all the methods/endpoints that I defined and individual Lambda functions that I have to define for SAM as part of my API.
I have a swagger template, so that should make things easier. But I'm not sure how to handle things like Proxying the calls to my backend, setting up authentication, etc. and the SAM documentation seems lacking in regards to this.
Anyone have any tips or experiences?
Many thanks!
All box.com's api's read to require OAuth 2.0 using only Authorization Token grant types. I have a back end system that needs to upload a file to a box.com system. However, I do not understand how a back end system is suppose to integrate, when the authorization flow requires user "approval" to get a token.
Anyone ever done this? I am attempting to integrate a java mule app. I attempted to use the components, but they plain do not work at all, they break the entire anypoint studio. Now I am trying to utilize the http component to make the call but I am losing my patience with it.
please help, I am pretty much ready to drop kick this laptop and live in the woods.
Integration with public online API requires a little study, a little coding, and a little testing. I'm not saying it's easy. Take a look here at a Mule component I've recently created that communicates with Toggl, an online timekeeping service.
https://github.com/ciwise/toggl-api-connector
Your question requires a lot of discussion but it's best answered with example. If Box does not provide a Mule component, you can create one yourself.
The HTTP connector is not going to authenticate or perform any operations at Box for you. The HTTP connector provides the HTTP endpoint (URL entry and browser return). To authenticate your application with Box and call API operations, you'll need to do some work.
This is the high-level recipe for my solution with Toggl service (example)
Update your Anypoint Studio with Mule Connector DevKit software
Create an Anypoint Connector project in Anypoint Studio (Eclipse)
My connector provides multiple methods to process and these are used with different instances of the component (connector) in my use flow.
My TogglDataAPIHandler.java makes various checks to see if the application (Mule) is authenticated before making calls to the Application Programming Interface (API). The API is provided by Box so that developers (people writing code) can communicate with the service outside of the web browser. There's no simple answer here. You will have to do some coding. My component/connector is only an example of one way to do this (communicate programmatically with the API).
Build and install the connector(component) locally so that we can see it in the Mule Design Palette.
Drag as many of our new component (Anypoint connector) as needed into our flow canvas.
Test the flow.
I hope that helps. Take a look at my Github repo and Mule Connector. There's a wealth of information in anyone's code. But, integration with an API requires code. You can also search the Exchange for a Box connector. If you find one, then your life is simpler. You still need to read this thoroughly:

I'm trying to create a redistributable web application that will integrate with Google Analytics through the Google Reporting API. Customer will install the application on their server.
I'm following this tutorial (I'm using PHP, but I believe this is not of importance for my question)
https://developers.google.com/analytics/resources/tutorials/hello-analytics-api
This works fine. No issues there.
However I can't figure out one missing element:
The tutorial starts with sending me to the Google APIs console where I have to create and configure a new API project and create and configure a client ID.
That's a lot of work that requires fairly technical knowledge (redirect url, selecting correct API, error-prone copy-and-pasting, etc.)
So my questions:
Is there an API so I can programmatically set this up for my user?
If that's not possible, is there a more user-friendly way to obtain Analytics reporting that is future-proof? (I noticed they are currently deprecating a few older APIs)
Unfortunately that's AFAIK not possible.
You could go one of the following ways:
Move client_id and client_secret to some configuration file and help your customer with deployment.
Show a one-time setup wizard for your app and guide your customer step-by-step. There you can at least provide him with the right callback URLs.
Regard your application as "installed application" and instrument curl or something similar for sending the requests.
I'm mildly familiar with DotNetOpenAuth and OAuth in general, but in terms of Web API development, what is the best way to lock down a web service in terms of the following criteria:
Ease of implementation
Interoperability/compatibility with end-user facing platforms (iOS, Android, Win Phone, Flex...)
Whether or not it is clearly standards-based (like OAuth for example)
Thanks!
please take a look here: OAuth 2.0 in Web API
Inside the WebApiContrib project there are also Basic Authentication samples which is straight forward but it should not be used without SSL.
The DotNetOpenAuth .zip download includes a sample WCF service that is protected by OAuth.
There are a couple of wcf web api implementation to handle authentication on internet. I have done one as well # http://misaxionsoftware.wordpress.com/2011/07/29/secure-restful-web-service-by-wcf-web-api-no-https-seriously/
Note: code is based on Preview 3, some class name has changed in Preview 5.
The idea of implementation is ensure secured communication without SSL.
It's easy to construct. The function is transparent to your service because all the work is done in message handler. You don't bother to call the authenticate function in your service method.
Compatible with end-point where RSA encryption is supported.
Standards-based, hmm... Standards varies from case to case...
