I provisioned API connect in Bluemix using various plans. None of the plans gives me the ability to add custom analytics, setting up developer portal and api metering.
The videos available on youtube shows the above functionality. Am I missing something or is it the case that these features are available for on-prem installation of API connect and not with API connect on Bluemix.
As long as you sign up for the Lite, Professional, or Enterprise level plans, you should have access to what you saw in the videos.
Analytics are viewable via the Catalog where your APIs are published. You'll see a tab specifically for this and you can customize the dashboards there.
The developer portal must be enabled via Catalog settings. Here's more information on how to accomplish that: https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/en/SSFS6T/com.ibm.apic.devportal.doc/tapim_tutorial_using_ADP.html

I have a Raspberry Pi3 device which has Android Things dev preview 0.6.1 installed. On completing certain operations, the device needs to send data to Google Cloud Storage. To do so it must have an API key to authenticate itself.
In Android devices it could be done easily using by integrating Google Sign in Option but since my Android Thing device doesn't have any interface, Google Sign In could not be implemented in it.
I have gone through github project Android Things Weather Station Sample which is using Google Service Account to publish data to PubSub. To do so, it generates and imports a credential.json file into the project and somehow generates credentials from it.
So my question stands is, without user consent, can we use Google Service Accounts to authenticate with Google Cloud Storage? If yes, how can we generate access token from it ? If no, is there any other method to authenticate with GCS?
The simplest and most secure way to authenticate your IoT devices with Google Cloud is using Cloud IoT Core to publish data over MQTT or HTTP into Cloud Pub/Sub. Cloud IoT Core is a bridge designed to securely manage large fleets of devices and authenticate them with your cloud project.
Take a look at the SensorHub sample app on GitHub, which is similar to the weather station, but uses Cloud IoT Core to authenticate and publish instead.
As Shubham stated, using a service account is one way to authenticate devices. Otherwise you'd need to build a mobile companion app which you use to authenticate the user. Then you would have to transfer that token to the IoT device.
In case anyone faces the same issue, I found this document which has explained the way to authenticate devices with Google Cloud without the consent of a user.
I have a Webapp hosted on Google compute engine. I am trying to list it on Microsoft AppSource. One of the mandatory conditions for listing is enabling Azure Active Directory federated Single Sign-on (AAD federated SSO) for the app.
Google Cloud platform supports SAML 2.0-based SSO. Hence technically this should be possible. Has anybody tried it and any has experiences to share. Thanks in advance.
In order for an application to integrate with Azure Active Directory - it is not required that you have an Azure Subscription, or even Azure Active Directory (specially if your application is a multi-tenant application) - you can host your application anywhere.
For AppSource, as long as your app integrates with Azure Active Directory, then you are able to list your app on AppSource - which means that the application does not need to be hosted in Azure. AppSource also requires Open Id Connect - SAML would not qualify. For more details please see this article.
To make it easier to test the Azure AD integration in your application, you can create/ use a test tenant with a Microsoft personal account (MSA), as well as use this MSA account to register your application for OAUTH2 flow.
You probably don't want to use GCP's SSO. This is really designed to allow your developers to use your organization's auth system while working on GCP. This is different than allowing your users to use their organization's AD while working within your web app.
Instead, I suggest you look to see if anyone has built AD or SAML integration for the framework your webapp is built with, or look to implementing it yourself. This allows the SSO auth to be used for the app itself, instead of in accessing GCP APIs.
How do we migrate Products from one catalog to another in IBM API Connect?
We publish API's to dev catalog and once we are done developing ,they need to be moved to test catalog.
You can use the apic command line toolkit to do that.
There are examples of different scenarios in the readme page here: https://github.com/ibm-apiconnect/cli
e.g. to clone all the apis in a given catalog:
apic apis:clone
I completed the basic setup for Google Analytics and inserted the tracking code into my webpage(s). I can log in to analytics.google.com and see historical data just fine.
I have an admin page on my website where I want to display Google Analytics information to several users automatically (no additional logon req'd) and read that this is possible using the Embed API with Server-side Authorization.
I followed the instructions and created a Service Account that shows up under Service account keys in my Google API Manager portal. I also successfully ran 'sudo pip install --upgrade google-api-python-client' on my Cloud9 IDE and pushed the change to my hosting provider, Firebase, i.e. 'firebase deploy'. Lastly, I located and pasted my Analytics View ID in to the code sample provided with the Demo/Setup. My page is served with <!DOCTYPE html> declared.
I can't get it to work. Browser console says:
Uncaught TypeError: window.google.load is not a function
I am thinking that I am not invoking the get_access_token() in that Python module. In other words, I am thinking that server-side scripting is not supported with Firebase hosting.
Anyone know if and how to get Google Analytics Embed API with Server Side Authorization running with Firebase hosting?
This is not exactly a direct answer to your question, but rather an alternative solution to this problem. At least I’m using approach.
You can use Google Design Studio to build and embed amazing analytics and BI dashboards anywhere you like (also on your Admin website). But even easier would be to use Google’s authentication (via gmail) to provide access to select dashboards directly, as Google’s authentication and authorisation is likely more secure that your website’s.
I wish to provide a status dashboard to users of my SAAS internet application similar to the status dashboards provided by Google and Amazon.
Does anyone know of a ready-made 3rd party hosted service supporting such an interface?
Google example:

Amazon Example:

Stashboard is an open-source status dashboard hosted on Google App Engine. I created Stashboard this summer for Twilio's API status dashboard.
Geckoboard might be worth to use it.
