I have postman collections of some rest apis that I delivered to someone who want to do a secure assessment on them, however he asked for full API documentation, and I'm not very familiar with rest APIs, so what is the difference? ain't postman collections are API documentation at the same time ?

I want to get list of documents available in Qlik sense using rest api. I am trying to use the api url https://url/api/v1/apps/docs to get the list of documents
But this is not working. Is the url correct in getting the documents in qliksense?
Where can I find the details on the url for getting the docs? I have checked the Qlik website for rest documentation but could not get the details what I am looking for.
Thanks
Not sure what your use case is but will recommend using Qlik Repository Service API to get list of the apps. The url in your question looks like an Engine REST API endpoints but its non-existing in the endpoints list.
Repositository API is a wrapper around the internal PostgreSQL database, which contains all the metadata (list of apps, streams, extensions etc).
List with all Repository API methods can be found at Qlik QRS API reference page.
The Repository API supports few authentication methods
certificates (when using in server-to-server communication. aka backend)
JWT
Header
Session cookie (from the browser)
Have a look at the examples how to test the responses with Postman (few other examples are available there - Powershell, Node.JS, cURL etc.)
I'm trying to implement 3D Secure via CyberSource's REST API. I've got their REST SDK via : Github REST SDK and I've been using their Live Console examples as well: CyberSource Live Console
Now I know you meant to start by setting up Payer Auth via
On this link: Setup Payer API Ref
But want I'm looking for is a guide on how all the parts are put together, all their other older implementations seem to have PDF guides demonstrating the different flows of the API but I can't find anything for REST. I know at the end I should using the example of "Authorization with Payer Auth Validation" via this link Payer Auth API Ref but I need to be able to test everything, and know what properties I need to use on which API call or share between API calls.
For instance like this 3D Secure API guide: Sage Pay API Guide . On this guide they detail the various request and response messages. Different flows, such as Frictionless authentication , Challenge Auth. I'm specifically interest in the Challenge Auth flow whereby you would redirect your customer to the acsUrl received. If anyone has any guides or assistance they can provide to make this process more clear it would be greatly appreciated. We've put in requests for more information from the intermediary party we are using between CyberSource but it's slow going. Thanx all
For anyone else arriving here, there is now a CyberSource 3D-Secure REST guide here.
At this time there is not a guide for the REST API that has the complete picture. Instead you have to use the SOAP API guide here SOAP Guide. See Chapter 2 within that guide. Where that guide references SOAP API calls replace them with the REST API calls. It's not ideal but that is all that is available.
As title said, Is there a complete list of sharepoint online rest api from official docs?
I've done some research. However from the MS docs I can only find Complete basic operations using SharePoint REST endpoints and Get to know the SharePoint REST service.
Or maybe there just isn't one for the current Sharepoint Online implementation from official docs which have REST api reference and samples.
I was consider using MS graph as well, however it seems at the moment, the operations exposed by the Graph for SharePoint are very limited when compared to the native SharePoint REST API.
If there is a list, please share.
REST APIs of SharePoint are conformed to the specification of OData, we can use it like we use other OData APIs.
Here you go:
REST API reference and samples
More information about OData, we can refer to: OData - the best way to REST
If you have been authenticated (e.g. have an access token) and you can use the SharePoint API, then you can get a list of available endpoints for GET requests:
https://[tenant].sharepoint.com/[site]/_api/Web
The first part of the response provides a list of endpoints that you can explore further. [site] can be requested at any level (there can be many subsites below).
For example:
https://[tenant].sharepoint.com/[site]/_api/Web/SiteUsers
will allow you to display a list of users on a site and other possible endpoints, and
https://[tenant].sharepoint.com/[site]/[subsite]/_api/Web/Lists
will display all the lists that belong to the given subsite.
Unfortunately, I was not able to get a list of endpoints for POST requests such as: _api/web/lists/getByTitle('Documents')/breakroleinheritance(copyRoleAssignments=false, clearSubscopes=true)
I am going thru the documentation and examples related to calling REST APIs for SugarCRM using Chrome REST client or PostMan but most of the examples are PHP and I am not finding a good way to find a proper request and other parameters to be mentioned so that I can get the successful response from the API. I was trying get_entry_list. Can someone please help by providing a working REST API request for this API which I can run on REST client or postman?
I also would like to know if I want to build a SugarCRM connector for my application, which set of APIs I should use? Should I go with REST or SOAP and any supporting arguments to choose one over another?
Thanks
I have to create 2 different websites that would use REST api to interact with a single MySQL database.
I know how to create website with forms..etc using PHP.
How would I use REST api for my websites.I searched and found out that there are libraries for android to use REST api but how to do so in case of a website ?
REST is a architectural pattern, it is not (by itself) an API. APIs can implement REST.
Just like any other API out there, you have to get the documentation for the API and then call it from your source.
Depending on what your requirements are, you may be calling it from javascript or from your PHP backend.
REST is an architecture pattern (you can read more about it at wikipedia) which aims to use HTTP verbs like PUT, POST and DELETE to execute commands against endpoints which represent a resource.
To use REST, your backend server will send normal HTTP requests to the API service; so in PHP this means using the various curl libraries to send requests.
Responses are generally in json; but they could be in any other format (or even in binary) - check with the API documentation that you have to consume.
If all you want is interacting with a REST API, then you need a HTTP client, probably cURL (PHP has a cURL lib). After that you have to check whether your API violates the HATEOAS constraint. If not, then it is called hypermedia API. In that case you have to follow hyperlinks provided by the API in the responses. If it violates the constraint, then it is called web API, and you have to build the method, URL, etc... on the client side again, so your client will break easily by any structural changes of the API. Everything else depends on the message format and the semantic annotations the API uses.
If you want to build a REST API, I strongly suggest you to learn more about the topic. First read the Fielding diessertation and check some existing solutions like HAL or Hydra+JSON-LD. Forget the tutorials. Most information available on the web about how to implement a REST API is flawed.
