I cant find anyway to put parameters into YQL to fetch private data like contacts lists etc.I dont find it documented anywhere..
I know we can fetch public data without parameters but i am asking about private data which needs parameters like oauth_token and oauth_signature ?
Made my own alternative.It fetches Yahoo,MSN,Google Contacts for now.
OAuth_social

I have an endpoint which supports post requests. The URL is the same for all requests but the parameters will be different for each request. It is basically a free-form query service when the client can formulate the query and fields that will be returned in the response. I would like to be able to define methods on the service which will represent specific queries and a model for each query. But I am uncertain as to how I would go about configuring the transformer for each "query based" endpoint.
Is there a way to accomplish this or is it best to simply work with a json dictionary?
Thanks...
I think that I found the solution to my problem and it was rather simple. It was just a matter of building the resource and supplying it to configureTransformer.
func getUserIds() -> Request {
let res = resource(endPoint)
.withParam("query", "SELECT id FROM users where status='Active'")
configureTransformer(res) {
try self.jsonDecoder.decode(UserIdResponse.self, from: $0.content)
}
return res.request(.post)
}
In my previous question I was looking for a way to access and store return value of the function in qaf step. I was provided with the following:
When create new user using "{'name':'user1','password':'user123'}"
And store into 'newUser'
Then system should have user '${newUser}'
Now, I'd like to know how to get value from object/collection stored.
If it is a simple object named newUser which has field Id. How would I pass Id on next step?
And, if return is List, how to get by index from stored list?
Resolved issue on my own. If anyone faces same unknowns, here is how I solved it.
For requirements to work around response data, parsing same stored objects in properties by specific fields or collecting data from other structures such as Maps or Lists, create common functions with #QAFTestStep annotation to get data for class member name, map by key or list by index and so on... Add those in common steps and then write stepname text in gherkin format with parameters specified. Let me know if someone needs help, always ready to help out...
I need to get all the data from StoreClient (Javascript). The format of the data on the below picture, they are in Zapier Storage.
const store = StoreClient('mysecret');
const value = await store.getMany('mykey'); // or store.get('mykey')
return {result: value}
This code works well. But I need to take and process all stored keys in a loop along with all their child value. I did not find a way :(
I tried store.list_pop(key), but the lists have a different storage format. And the data is not retrieved.
I would recommend using Zapier's storage API which will allow you to retrieve all stored data through a GET request to https://store.zapier.com/api/records. I often have to do the same thing and this works for me.
Have a look at their documentation here. I typically code in Python using the requests library. But I'm sure you could achieve similar results using an ajax or fetch request in Javascript.
EDIT
If I am understanding your question correctly you are trying to 'GET' all of your data stored in Zapier's storage client. As per their API documentation:
Zapier stores your data as a dictionary object which can hold key value pairs. Those values can also be nested dictionaries or lists. Regardless of how you store the data (simple key value pairs, nested lists, nested dictionaries, or some combination of the preceding) a 'GET' request will return the entire object. As stated before I typically use Python's request library to handle HTTP requests but I was able to achieve the same result using a Javascript fetch request. I setup a dummy storage account at https://store.zapier.com/api/records?secret=dog to test and illustrate how this works. See my code below.
var url = "https://store.zapier.com/api/records?secret=dog";
const res = await fetch(url);
const body = await res.json()
return {JSON : body}
Unfortunately, due to my lack of familiarity with Javascript I had to bake the secret into the url, which I don't think is ideal, but for the purposes of this example it does the job. See my output below.
As you can see the 'GET' request returned all data stored in my Zapier storage account. I simply returned the data I retrieved from the 'GET' request but you could of course loop through the results and execute logic as needed. This does not modify any of the data stored, what I often do is pull in all of my stored date with a 'GET' request, modify it, delete the old storage, and 'POST' my modified storage information. This allows me to limit my requests to two calls rather than modifying each individual value.
I am playing around with a OData service and I am very confused when to use this
var oModel = new sap.ui.model.odata.ODataModel("proxy/http/services.odata.org/V3/(S(k42qhed3hw4zgjxfnhivnmes))/OData/OData.svc");
this.getView().setModel(oModel);
vs
var oModel = new sap.ui.model.odata.ODataModel("odatserviceurl", true);
var productsModel = new JSONModel();
oModel.read("/Products",
null,
null,
false,
function _OnSuccess(oData, response) {
var data = { "ProductCollection" : oData.results };
productsModel.setData(data);
},
function _OnError(error) {
console.log(error);
}
);
this.getView().setModel(productsModel);
I have two working example using both approach but I am not able to figure out why using read method if I can achieve same with first version. Please explain or guide me to the documentation which can clear my confusion.
Ok, lets start with the models:
JSON Model : The JSON model is a client-side model and, therefore, intended for small datasets, which are completely available on the client. The JSON model supports two-way binding. NOTE: no server side call is made on filtering, searching, refresh.
OData Model : The OData model is a server-side model: the dataset is only available on the server and the client only knows the currently visible rows and fields. This also means that sorting and filtering on the client is not possible. For this, the client has to send a request to the server. Meaning searching/filtering calls odata service again.
Now, lets look at scenarios where we will use these models:
Scenario 1: Showing data to user in a list/table/display form. Data manipulation is limited to searching and filtering. Here, I would use oData model directly to controls as only fetching of data is required.( your method 1) (NOTE: One way binding). Remember here all changes require a call to server.
Scenario 2: I have an application which has multiple inputs, user can edit changes, also some fields are calculated and mandatory. All in all, many user changes are done which may be temporary and user might not want to save them. Here, you dont want to send these temporary changes to backend as yet. You way want to manipulate, validate data before sending. Here, we will use JSON Model after reading data from odata model ( your method 2). Store the changes in local JSON model, validate and manipulate them and finally send the data using Odata create/update. Remember here all changes DO NOT require a call to server as data is present in local JSON MODEL.
Let me know if this helps you. :)
EDIT : Additional Information :
As per your comment :
Documentation says oModel.read' trigger get request but new sap.ui.model.odata.ODataModel("proxy/http/services.odata.org/V3/(S(k42qhed3hw4zgjxfnhivnmes))/OData/OData.svc")` does the same thing so why and when to use oModel.read
Here, is where you misunderstood. The code
new sap.ui.model.odata.ODataModel("proxy/http/services.odata.org/V3/(S(k42qhed3hw4zgjxfnhivnmes))/OData/OData.svc") will NOT send a read/get Request. It calls the odata services and fetches the metadata of the service. A service can have multiple entities.
For example: the service :http://services.odata.org/Northwind/Northwind.svc/ has mutiple entity sets such as Categories, Customers, Employees etc. So, when I declare : new sap.ui.model.odata.ODataModel("http://services.odata.org/Northwind/Northwind.svc/") it will fetch the metadata for service (not actual data). Only when you call the desired entity set, it will fetch the data. The Entity set is specified :
When you call the read method ( like you have specified '/Products')
Bind the entity set name directly to control like to List,Table etc ( items='{/Products}' )
I have a firebase database which I have imported a list of approx. 8200 Universities with the details seen above.
I want to be able to enter an email address into a text field then query the "domain" part of this JSON. My issue is I need to query all the domains in the list of 8000, however I do not know how to search domain ad I do not have the "7542" to use a childByAppendingPath.
So I have a reference to "universities" but I need to be able to query "domain" without knowing the parent key (i.e. 7542 in the example above, but I want to search the domain, "iautb.ac.ir").
You need to create a reference and Query that reference, check this link to find more about how to retrieve data from firebase.
Basically you need to do something like this
let myRef = Firebase(url: "https://your.firebaseio.com/universities")
let query = myRef.queryOrderedByChild("domain").queryEqualToValue("yourDomainSearchValue")
and then observe the events you need to on your query
