I already built a website with bootstrap. Now i want to add some functionality with a rest api, but i don't really now what my best option is.
Restrictions of my host:
allowed:
php
not allowed:
NodeJS
Python
Ruby on Rails
What are my options?
Is there a pure js option maybe?
Or something which can be exported to php?
What would be the simplest solution?
What would you do?
Thanks in advance for any tips!

I would like to use straight forward vanilla JavaScript to create an AppSync web client front end. All the examples seem to demonstrate using React. Do you have to use a JavaScript framework? Any pointers to a good resouce would be welcome
I would recommend checking out Amplify - https://github.com/aws-amplify/amplify-js
But if you wish to wish remain as "vanilla" as possible then you will have to use the AWS JS SDK. https://github.com/aws/aws-sdk-js
I want to reach the data saved in a mysql server for an Android phone. I thought about to connect directly the phone to the mysql but it is a bad practice because someone can get the user/pass of the DB.
However the REST architecture maybe it's a solution for my problem. I found the toolkit GWT but I don't know if it's the best way to solve my problem and what I need to use the GWT.
And I got 2 questions basically:
The GWT is good for my purpose?
Need a Tomcat server for example to set the GWT code?
One annotation, the data is for an app Android, there is no HTML interface .
Nowadays I'm working at localhost. Thanks for the answers.
As far as I understand, you want to implement a RESTful service (Web API). GWT targets the Web UI to be able to build it using Java and compile it into JavaScript. I think that it's not what you expect.
Here is a link that provides you hints about concepts of REST: https://templth.wordpress.com/2014/12/15/designing-a-web-api/. It will describe you what is a RESTful service and how to design it.
There are several technologies to build RESTful services (server-side frameworks). I can list two of them:
Restlet (see this link http://restlet.com/technical-resources/restlet-framework/tutorials/2.3 and http://restlet.com/products/restlet-framework/)
JAX-RS and its implementations (Restlet, Jersey, EasyRest). See this link for example: https://templth.wordpress.com/2015/03/06/getting-started-with-resteasy/.
Hope it helps you,

HI, i Have developed a restful webservice sample application, i want to create a client for the webservice, can anyone tell me how to do this? i was used Rest WebService explorer, but i want to know how to create a client and call the methods ?
Please help ?
Since REST is talking HTTP and is language-agnostic, you can use most any language/tooling available. Of course the simplest test bed available to you is the browser itself.
Have a look at these tools:
http://code.google.com/p/rest-client/
https://github.com/cloudhead/http-console
https://tcpmon.dev.java.net/ (proxying is helpful for debugging)
You can also use Resty, which should make accessing your webservices very easy.

(see Readme for examples)
My client is looking to build a website similar to woot.com, is there an API that would be recommended to use or should it be built from scratch?
There's vibrantOS in PHP - it's a basic deal-a-day project, but looks extensible.
Does anyone know of any tutorials that explain clearly how to implement simple REST functionality with authorization.
I've seen a few plugins and got also got some basic REST functionality working but there seems no clear guidelines about how to build a secure REST service in Cake.
Any help appreciated.
Sounds like you need to look into OAuth which uses REST to connect to Web Sevices without sending usernames and passwords.
Try these tutorials for a start
