I am trying to add modules using Desire2Learn's valence API, which also involves setting up a release condition. I am specifically looking for adding this condition Classlist->Group Enrollment on the module. Could not find an API that would add a release condition on a module.
http://docs.valence.desire2learn.com/res/content.html
Has anyone come across with this? What API shall be used for adding a release condition via valence web services?
Unfortunately, the Valence Learning Framework APIs do not expose the ability to view or edit release conditions. So while you can create the content modules via Valence, you will have to use the Web UI to manage release conditions.
This sounds like a good candidate for a feature request. Clients of D2L can search and post feature requests to the Product Ideas Exchange.

So we are in the process of starting our integration of our SOAP API with Dynamics using OData. I would like to get some ideas on how other have approached such an integration from a Dynamics perspective.
How do you manage security for Dynamics so that only a specific authorized application, such as the API, can make modifications to Dynamics data?
Similarly, how do you manage views? Do you create a copy of an existing view for everything you want to query or is there a better way?
Are there other considerations that I should be taking into account that others have struggled with in the past?
Here's some tips for you:
For the security, you can create a non-interactive user. It's ment to be a service user that can do operation without connecting to the UI. It requires no licence.

Actions can be invoked from Web API and can act as entry-point for external applications. You should use those instead of coding something outside of the CRM.

For views, I use the Save As button. When I need to copy views layout I use the XrmToolbox.

With the traditional OAuth API, I can specify the ?hd=<domain> parameter to limit logins to specific G Suite domains. I'm unable to find a way to do this with the googleyolo auto sign-in API.
Is this supported or am I just not able to use the API at this time?
I'm the product manager at Google for this library. This is a good feature request and we have it on the roadmap but no timeline yet. I'll update this answer when it's available, but we've got a ton of great feedback and requests from developers around this library so it might be some time to work through the backlog.
i am actually analyzing JIRA for my company regarding the functionalities and the different APIs. At the Atlassian Homepage i found two official provided APIs (JAVA API or JIRA REST API).
My further intentions are to program an interface between my stand-alone application and JIRA. The idea is for instance to control the user-management (add, delete, modify user, etc.), project-management (create project, delete, etc.) and other things from this application. Therefore i need a way to interact with JIRA.
Normally i would avoid the REST API and prefer the JAVA API, because other interfaces are even managed by the JAVA API, but i can't find any examples for connecting, adding or modifying workItems in JIRA. I have just found the java api documentation.
https://developer.atlassian.com/jiradev/jira-apis/java-api-policy-for-jira
Would you suggest only the JAVA REST API or are there any good examples for the JAVA API?
Thanks a lot!
It really depends on what you are trying to achieve. The Java API is mostly used to build Jira plugins, while the REST API is used when you want to integrate external applications.
In your case the normal choice would be the REST API.
I need to build an ecosystem of online tools (these tools are on various platforms like Moodle, Website Baker, ASP.Net, php, etc, some already built, some purchased from other vendors and some to be built), where I want a single login that the end user should have.
These tools, standalone, have their own login mechanism in place at the moment.
I am planning to build a central system on DNN where users register and this system exposes an oAuth service that other systems use to authenticate users against.
I am considering DNN (DotNetNuke) platform for the following reasons:
1. I am an ASP.Net developer and familiar to some extent with DNN (Not a whole lot, but enough to know that it has the concept of providers and modules that I can customize as per my needs).
2. I will need a shopping cart and a registration system which I am hoping to get some ready-made third party solution.
WHAT I NEED INPUTS ON:
Is there some DNN component out there already that exposes oAuth authentication from a DNN site? I am looking to implement something similar to what Google has implemented for it's oAuth interface.
If I understand you correctly, you are trying to build is called 3 legged authentication with oauth where you want dotnetnuke to be the provider. In order to do that in dotnetnuke, you need to provide a UI where consumers can register and get AppId and consumerKey. Once that is done, Consumer will send user to dotnetnuke for login. Dotnetnuke will validate the user and return appropriate information to consumer.
Here are some things that can help you:
DotNetOAuth library
OAuth website
http://code.google.com/p/extremeswankoauth/wiki/Server_Examples
http://www.cleancode.co.nz/blog/523/oauth-dot-net
Example oAuth implementation in java
Let me know if you need more help.
I don't know if it is the best way to accomplish the solution but it was what I did.
There's a code sample of DotNetOpenAuth here which uses OAuth to authenticate users. Probably you will see that there are more examples, and even newer but .. pay attention because If you are using the last version of DNN (7.x), it works using the .NET Framework 4 and the newer samples uses 4.5. So, take a look of the first example! The ASP NET Handler called OAuth.ashx is your OAuth Service provider.
Then, I built a DNN module based on the sample to make DNN work as OAuth Service.
I followed this guide to build the module. There are some videos which shows the basic of module development.
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.
