I would like to know if there is a default feature for importing products export files in json/xml/csv format and if this can be called daily with a cron or something automatically.
Thanks,
Tibi
You are free to create a private App that has scope permissions to write_products, write_inventory and read_locations. With that, you can establish a script that can parse your json/xml/csv and update inventory. That script can be scheduled to run as often as you need. Shopify is an ideal platform for the use of scripting to accomplish many manual tasks.
I agree with David. You need to create a custom App in your store and submit your data to a script(you can use PHP) triggered by CRON hosted on a server which will create a record using Product API.
Step 1: Go to Apps tab in admin section of your store. Scroll down and click on Manage private apps, create an App here to generate API keys and password.
Step 2: Create and host(on a secured server) a script that will use API keys generated in previous step to create new product record using https://help.shopify.com/en/api/reference/products/product#create
Step 3: Fetch your data in any format and send this data in JSON format to your Shopify store using API. A new product record will be created in your store.
Note: You can test this API by using credential created in Step 1 on Postmen tool you can refer https://help.shopify.com/en/api/reference/products/product#create. You will have to hit Example URL generated in Private app from Step 1.

I am building an event management app and am currently in the stage of adding payment funcionality to it. I have followed the firebase documentation and all seems to be in working order and I can easily add products to my firestore database when using the Stripe dashboard. I am just wondering how this could be done either client side (flutter) or using cloud functions?
I have tried watching tutorials, looking at the limited github examples and reading the documentation however all the products seem to be made through the stripe dashboard - obviously not ideal to have to manually create every one!
Creating Products via the Stripe API requires an Account's secret API key. You should never expose this since it provides full access to your account. So creating Products from the client-side is not something we will consider.
Additionally the Stripe Firebase Extension does not include any cloud functions for creating Products. The docs even have you create a restricted key to keep your account safe. All of that suggests to me that you will want to either
Create products from the Stripe Dashboard as previously indicated in tutorials and documentation.
Run local scripts to create products via the API using one of Stripe's client libraries which you can install locally.
I need to send user-specific values to an external system from Moodle. How can I force Moodle to send the session ID (or user ID, activity ID, etc.) to this third-party system? All of the articles out there seem to be written for calling into Moodle but this is not what I need to do.
Important:
I cannot alter the Moodle installation. The solution must only involve editing content. This means I cannot author a new plugin or alter any of the Moodle source code.
Edit:
I do have direct access to the Moodle database from a separate external API. The goal was to use this connection to validate the incoming parameters. However, I still need to be able to construct a parameterized URL to call out the external app. That app would then be able to validate the supplied values against the database. If the session ID is not available then I would need the values regarding the page, user, module, etc. to be sent via the parameterized URL.
For the session id do you mean the current user session? There is a session key stored in $_SESSION['USER']->sesskey but its not really useful data. It expires when a user logs out.
$_SESSION is server side, so you would need to use PHP code which isn't allowed in content for security reasons.
Have you got access to the database? You could pull user id and activity id from there. Otherwise you will need to use an API or a plugin.
EDIT: There is a URL activity that you could use to send data externally. But that would require the user to click the link.
Data includes user and course ids.
https://docs.moodle.org/311/en/URL_resource_settings
I can't think of any solution to send data externally without writing some PHP code or adding a plugin.
You can add javascript to every page via Site administration > Appearance > Additional HTML but the session variables aren't available without PHP.

I am trying to connect to MongoDB so I can use it in UIPath but there are no APIs available other than DB administrative APIs. I want to manipulate the actual data in the data table. How can I do this, other than creating a robot that manipulates the table directly.
If you are using MongoDB Atlas, which is Cloud based, does not have ANY CRUD APIs. In MongoDB Server side, the CRUD APIs are deprecated so for sure they will not have it in the cloud version.
Unfortunately, you will need to go through a third party to connect to MongoDB. Luckily there are a few out there. The one I like to use is PrestoAPI.
Got to the PrestoAPI Website: https://prestoapi.com/
Click on get started for free
Fill out the user data, select if this is for personal or business and then select Free
There will be a confirmation email sent
Confirm your email, (you may have to resend the confirmation link) and then sign in
Once you log in, you will see this:
Click on Connect to A Database
Click again to get this pop up
All information needed is in the connection string we got from MongoDB
Driver is MongoDB
We will use the database Sample_airbnb from the database sample
Click on test
Once it says connection successful, we can move on
FYI, sometimes PrestoAPI will drop the “+srv” from the beginning of the connection string. Ensure that this part is correct or recopy again from MongoDB
You will get this result
Go back to the dashboard and click on Create a project
You should see the AirBNB name
Click on Submit
Next, select “Create your first endpoint”
It will give you a list to go through. Ensure you pick the name of the Endpoint (you only get 10 of them)
Select the database, the component (Table) and the table you want to read
For now, everything else can stay as default but you can always go back and tweak them
Once complete, click Submit. You now have a list of usable CRUD APIs for your MongoDB Atlas
You can now use these end points and call them in Node.js, UIPath or wherever a regular REST API can be called
You can use Invoke code activity. Here is the detailed step-by-step answer
I am trying to get data from a 3rd party API into an Azure SQL DB using Azure Data Factory with out using SSIS.
This lead me down a rabbit hole and I have been searching for 3 days now and cannot find a solution.I must be missing something.
I have tried using Azure Data Factory and the copy data controls.
I then tried using power apps and cant find anything that helps.
I then tried custom connector, from scrach, from postman and from OpenAPI
I cannot get any of it to work!
I really thought this would be easier than this?
I have read almost all of the standard MicroSoft documentation and none of it helps with my specific scenario.
I have a third party web site that I get an authorisation token from using a username and password with grant-type=password
Using this token I then get JSON data from the site.
I want to get this data into my SQL DB in Azure.
Thats it!
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks...
PS:Next step is the same thing but API returns XML, rabbit hole 2...
Here is a official guide that import data from Azure Storage to Azure SQL Database using pipeline.
I think this guide will be helpful for you. Before you follow this guide to meet your requirement, you should import your JSON data from 3rd party API first. So you can use Azure logic App to finish this process quickly.
I have finished this process , it is easy and just few steps :
1. Getting access token from 3rd party identity provider(here I use Azure AD as identity provider, just for demo) using http request action:
2. Generally , we can get an access token from step1 , use this auth info to call your 3rd API to fetch json data using http request action directly:
The API I am using is a sample demo one, just reply a json as :
{
"name": "stan",
"id": "123"
}
Using create blob action to create a blob file with the json content from previous step (you should create a storage account with a blob container first , so that you can store files, here I name the json file with guid)
Run this logic App you can see that a json file has been created in Azure storage account with the json data from API :
So the steps left , you can just refer to the official guide to import data to your SQL, just selecting json as resource format in Configure source section.
If you have anything unclear , pls feel free to let me know. Hope it helps : )
My company keeps individual employee schedules. Each employee manages their own schedule. Admin,supervisors and project manager have to go to each sheet and look for the information.
I need to create a system that allows someone to select a date range and skill set then produce a sheet with the information that matches the criteria. I have installed the Python API and worked through a few tutorials.
Now I need to know how to make command buttons, date pickers . . .
A quick read of my search results indicates that this is not part of the Smartsheet API!
Is there a way to do this through the SmartSheet API? Or how would you approach this?
The Smartsheet API enables you to programmatically access data in Smartsheet (i.e., create, read, update, delete data in Smartsheet). This is true for all APIs -- they simply provide a means for you to programmatically access data. You'll need to build the web app's user interface (UI) yourself by using HTML, CSS, JavaScript, etc.
Alternatively -- instead of building a custom web application like you've described -- I'd suggest that you look into the possibility of creating Smartsheet Reports that can provide the data you've described. You can create Smartsheet Reports via the Smartsheet UI -- so you wouldn't need to do any programming at all.
