I'm trying to connect to a REST web service with Drupal 7. Data is supplied via a url and I want to pull it into the D7 site to create and populate nodes. I'm using the feeds module to map the content and Web Service Client module to pull in the data but I'm unsure as to what to use as Data types to cut and split the data as I need it.
I have an address that looks like http://192.136.0.31:8080/places/getAll
The xml I get back when I use Chrome's Advanced Rest Client:
<ArrayOfAsset>
<Asset>
<Address1>01-02 Whatever Road</Address1>
<Address2>Whatever Town</Address2>
<City />
<Country>United Kingdom</Country>
<County>Whatevershire</County>
<HouseNumber>0001</HouseNumber>
<Id>01234ec0e-005456944567</Id>
<Latitude>58.828424</Latitude>
<LongTelephoneNumber>01543 534676</LongTelephoneNumber>
<Longitude>126.054688</Longitude>
<Name>Whatever the name is</Name>
<PostCode>WH01 7PU</PostCode>
<ShortName>Whatever</ShortName>
<Uri></Uri>
</Asset>
</ArrayOfAsset>
So, my question is how do I split/cut that data to return the parts I need in Clients module?
If there is anything else you need me to supply, let me know.
Update:
The xml exported via the web service, although looks like xml doesn't actually format the same.
The first line is is commented out in Chrome dev tools as if chrome is putting it there itself:
<!--?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?-->
Blank head tags
<head></head>
<body>
Then straight into the code above.

In golang, is there a way to pipe a variable to part of a web form?
For example, sending "123 Random St." to the Street address part of https://www.dominos.com/en/pages/order/#/locations/search/ and so on? I found pizza_party*, but the GUI used is no longer available, I have also found pizzadash**, but this uses a credit card where I want to use cash. I even found a list of golang ones, but the links that they use doesn't work anymore.***
Therefore, my goal is so: order a pizza in golang through the dominos website API!
NOTE: Please suggest a package or function with example!
NOTE: I do not want to make a web scraper/data getter.
NOTE: Your answer must work on at least one box of my linked website.
NOTE: I want to fill out links similar to the provided link from the linux command line.
*https://github.com/coryarcangel/Pizza-Party-0.1.b
**https://github.com/bhberson/pizzadash
***https://golanglibs.com/top?q=pizza
This is how you post any form values onto an online form. Provided you know the POST endpoint of the service.
func main():
resp, err := http.PostForm(targetPostUrlHere,
url.Values{"Service_Type": {"Delivery"},
"Address_Type_Select": {"House"},
"Street": {"123 E 24th St"},
"Address_Line_2": {"4D"},
"City": {"New York"},
"Region": {"NY"},
"Postal_Code": {"10027"}})
}
**Note: The field keys and values are guesstimates. You must inspect the actual key names expected in the form.
In your case, https://www.dominos.com/en/pages/order/ is an endpoint for the form page. Once the form is filled and submitted, the information is submitted using POST method akin to the code afore-mentioned to a dedicated CREATE endpoint (C in the CRUD), which normally can be found in the <form> html tag.
<form action="posttargetendpoint" method="POST">...</form>
Once the POST operation is successful, usually a web service would redirect you to another page. In your case, it is https://www.dominos.com/en/pages/order/#/section/Food/category/AllEntrees/
However, any good web service wouldn't expose the POST endpoint in the clear since it is the vulnerable point of attack. You're welcome to find out by inspect he Domino's page source and adjust the field values in the Go code accordingly.
Now to make a command line prompt to wrap around the PostForm code, I suggest you look into https://github.com/codegangsta/cli which is a very nice package for creating quick command line app.
I assume you mean pipe information originating from your backend to another site on behalf of a user?
The standard way of passing information between domains is via HTTP params, usually via a GET request, but this capability would need to be supported by established protocols the remote site. You can also use an iframe to embed the page of another site onto your page, however, you wouldn't be able to remotely interact, call JS code, or even query the page at all. Cross-domain security safeguards justifiably prohibit such capability, and generally speaking, interacting on behalf of the user via their browser is also restricted for security reasons.
However, if you're looking to emulate user behavior such as with a bot or web scraper from your own host or browser then that's a different story. There are tons of frameworks provide rich capability for interacting with a page. I'd recommend checking out Selenium, which acts as a virtual browser. There are also tons of libraries in Python for processing data from HTML and structured data. You might want to check out Beatiful Soup and Scrapy.
Hope this helps.
I consider using dotCMS and integrate it with other system by its rest API but in spite of ability to fetch content by its api I cannot fetch tempates defined in dotCMS.
With url api/content/type/xml/id/c12fe7e6-d338-49d5-973b-2d974d57015b I obtain as response following xml:

Is there any possibility to fetch template by its id (here 1763fa6e-91c0-464e-8b16-9a25d7ae6ce5) and obtain html file as response or some xml with html content?
Ok so after some hours of source code analysis I think I can assume that there is no rest api implemented by dotCMS. Instead of this we can use java api and fetch such components like templates, containers etc. by calling methods which are responsible for fetching these components from database. Then we can implement our own rest services.
Templates in dotCMS govern the display of "pages" which can be made up of multiple content objects. If you want to return a content object that has formatting applied to it, take a look at the widget API here:
http://dotcms.com/docs/latest/remote-widgets
and how it can be used here:

My Problem: I want to introduce a new field in JIRA with status information from external REST Service (response is json).
Plan: Every Jira issue has a input field with some reference string. Behind this field there should be a panel, what should display informations from the external REST call (parsing response JSON is required).
Can someone give me some good info pages, how to tell JIRA to call external REST Service?
If you don't want to build it see:
nFeed
HTTP Feed Custom Field
If you want to build it yourself then start by following this tutorial on Creating a custom field type which is to more or less store a basic String within the database. (This would be the reference string)
You then have two options, the first is within the JiraCustomField class override the getVelocityParameters which was taken from How to call a java method from velocity Atlassian Answers question.
Then create a method (fetchValueFromWebService(String val)) that you would call that would contain code to query the REST Service based off the fields value that would be passed in from the velocity template. (E.g. $instance.fetchValueFromWebService($value))
To perform the actual web service call you can use any library you want, just see the Managing Dependencies documentation so it gets included in the plugin. (For example using the Jira Jersey version see this)
Your other option would be to within the view-basictext.vm have it use javascript and perform an AJAX to the web service by calling a function in your own JS file and dump that into a span that you have defined: (See Including Javascript and CSS resources)
<span id="webServiceValue"></span>
<script type="text/javascript">
fetchValueFromWebService($value);
</script>
You would however need to ensure that the webservice has Cross-origin resource sharing (CORS) enabled if you go the AJAX route.
I am trying to call a SOAP service using this SOAP client but it is not working for me. Please help me. How can I send and receive XML SOAP with Phonegap?
Phonegap is HTML/JS/CSS commonly communicating via XHR/Ajax. It's better to use jQuery Ajax functions. You can get the details here.
Eg:
Posting-XML-SOAP-Requests
AJAX-Requests-Between-jQuery
Simple jQuery client to call a SOAP web service
If you find any cross-domain issues (or working in a browser and not working with simulator/device), please refer to the below steps.
Go to the Resources folder, you can see a file named Cordova.plist. Click on that and you can see the Root elements. Right click on the Root, add a row, set the key as ExternalHosts with type Array.
Expand the item, and add an item as item0. Give it type string and enter the value as '*'.
Don't forget to save the Cordova.plist after changes (just use cmd+s).
I got a webserver with a running application. There's a webpage with a form: some text data and a file upload field. Now, what I would like to have is it working like this:
The file is sent to the dedicated server, diffrent then the one application is running on. The server should return some kind of path (or anything that identifies the uploaded and saved file and allows to create an URL). Then, both this path and user-filled data should be submitted to the webserver with application, for any kind of database storage.
Problem is, there are 2 diffrent servers, so I can't upload the file with javascript, can I? Another way would be just to use iframe and put the upload form in there - but then I think I can't access the result of the upload (still inside the iframe) with javascript to pass the file path to my main server.
I could also just upload the file to same server my application is running on and then just rsync it to the other one - but I'd like to avoid it if I can, trying to minimalize the traffic actually :)
How do you handle such thing in your applications?
If you used an iframe, you could submit the upload form to the dedicated image server, and in the case of a successful result, have it in turn load a page from the original server with the info (eg. image path) "passed along" as a GET parameter.
POST to dedicated server, server stores image and calls back to web server through a web service or other to give it any info required.
