I am trying to get my time entries from Clockify API directly via Power Query to Excel. I use the following code in the Power Query:
= Web.Contents("https://api.clockify.me/api/workspaces/ID of my workspace/timeEntries/", [
Query=[ #"filter"="", #"orderBy"=""],
ApiKeyName="APIToken"
])
When I then try to run the code I am prompted to enter the Web API authentification, which delivers an error ("English translation: Authentification does not work. Try again") after I enter my correct Web API code see screenshot here
Does anyone have an idea how to solve this?
There are two things to keep in mind when making calls to REST-based APIs in Power Query/M:
When using the Web.Contents() function, it's best to pass your API key as a parameter within the request header itself. In your case X-Api-Key should equal to {your API key}.
Use anonymous access to connect to the API. Your screenshot suggests you're trying to connect using "Web API". Clear the value in the "Schlüssel" field and use "Anonym" instead.
Here's a simple example where I return the information about a workspace by workspace ID. (I've masked both my workspace ID and API key; replace these values with your workspace ID and API key.)
This works for me in both Excel and Power BI:
let
Source =
Web.Contents(
"https://api.clockify.me/api/workspaces/{your workspace ID}",
[
Headers=[
#"Content-Type"="application/json",
#"X-Api-Key"={your API key}
]
]
),
jsonResponse = Json.Document(Source)
in
jsonResponse
Doesn't it have to be X-Api-Key instead of ApiKeyName?

I have a web application to perform the update operation with the help of a Update button in UI mode.
During that time list of APIs are loaded into the Network tab with XHR type as below. I have to verify one of the API put call is triggered and the status is passed.
url.toString() -- https://abcdef.execute-api.ue-east-2.amazonaws.com/stg2
It contains the RequestedURL value. I manually verified that in Network tab for that particular API put call. Then kept that in cypress.json and reading the url to the current class
Base URL for the UI operation: https://abc-stg2.awsdev.fgh.com/
Note: The both url are modified and dummy one, since it is confidential to share. The understanding is API calls are in AWS and the UI urls are in other environment
Try #1
// After the UI operation
cy.intercept('PUT',url.toString()).as('urupdate')
cy.wait('#urupdate',{requestTimeout:20000})
.its('status')
.should('be.eq',200)
Output:
Try #2
cy.intercept('PUT', url.toString(), (req) => {
if (req.body.status == 200) {
cy.log('pass')
}
})
Output:
The log is not getting printed and till the if statement everything is getting passed
How can we verify the particular API is triggered and the status is 200?
I have gone through the intercept as above and other stuffs in Cypress. But that does not get me the solution. Share your suggestions
I'm trying to handle backwards compatibility with my GraphQL API.
We have on-premise servers that get periodically updated based off of when they connect to the internet. We have a Mobile app that talks to the on-premise server.
Problem
We get into an issue where the Mobile app is up to date and the on-premise server isn't. When a change in the Schema occurs, it causes issues.
Example
Product version 1
type Product {
name: String
}
Product version 2
type Product {
name: String
account: String
}
New version of mobile app asks for:
product(id: "12345") {
name
account
}
Because account is not valid in version 1, I get the error:
"Cannot query field \"account\" on type \"Product\"."
Does anyone know how I can avoid this issue so I don't recieve this particular error. I'm totally fine with account coming back with Null or just some other plan of attack for updating Schema's. But having it completely blow up with no response is not good
Your question did not specify what you're actually using on the backend. But it should be possible to customize the validation rules a GraphQL service uses in any implementation based on the JavaScript reference implementation. Here's how you do it in GraphQL.js:
const { execute, parse, specifiedRules, validate } = require('graphql')
const validationRules = specifiedRules.filter(rule => rule.name !== 'FieldsOnCorrectType')
const document = parse(someQuery)
const errors = validate(schema, document, validationRules)
const data = await execute({ schema, document })
By omitting the FieldsOnCorrectType rule, you won't get any errors and unrecognized fields will simply be left off the response.
But you really shouldn't do that.
Modifying the validation rules will result in spec-breaking changes to your server, which can cause issues with client libraries and other tools you use.
This issue really boils down to your deployment process. You should not push new versions of the client that depend on a newer version of the server API until that version is deployed to the server. Period. That would hold true regardless of whether you're using GraphQL, REST, SOAP, etc.
I'm trying to download my own flickr albums using the API. I'm using the flickr.rb gem here
I am creating a new object using this:
#flickr = Flickr.new({api_key: 'xxxxx', shared_secret: 'xxxxx', verify_ssl: false})
And then I'm using:
p = #flickr.photoset(photoset_id)
Where I pass the id of my photoset I want to download.
I keep getting the error:
/.rvm/gems/ruby-2.2.5/gems/flickr.rb-1.2.1/lib/flickr.rb:199:in `request': Photoset not found (RuntimeError)
What is the correct way to authenticate to Flickr and download my photos? I don't want to build any UI, just want a command line app to do this. Is there some URL I need to hit in the browser to authorize the app and grant permissions? The documentation is really sparse and doesn't give any examples.
Update: In response to #r-f-nelson
The 'user' as retrieved:

/.rvm/gems/ruby-2.2.5/gems/flickr.rb-1.2.1/lib/flickr.rb:199:in `request': Invalid API Key (Key has invalid format) (RuntimeError)
Note above that the "photoset" object has a different flickr client object id and NO shared secret and API key! Not sure how that's happening since I'm using the same client and user objects to get the photoset as well.
Assuming you are successfully connecting to Flickr's API, you can browse your own photosets like so:
user = flickr.users('you#yourflickraccount.com')
photosets = user.photosets
From there you can iterate through your photosets to find the correct one. I'm guessing whatever id you're using is not the actual photoset_id that the Flickr API uses.
If i go to https://developers.facebook.com/docs/plugins/like-button/ and enter https://www.ballantinesbarproject.fr/?name=epicerie and select box-count as layout.
the like-button shows a like count, as expected, since I liked the page. However, if I look in facebook api:
REST:
https://api.facebook.com/method/links.getStats?urls=https://ballantinesbarproject.fr/?name=epicerie&format=json
FQL:
https://graph.facebook.com/fql?q=select%20url,%20like_count%20from%20link_stat%20where%20url=%22https://ballantinesbarproject.fr/?name=charlatan%22
(though one user claims, he can se counts in the fql-api)
It says there is 0 likes. How come?
Following query is the proper FQL Query for retrieving like or comments count for a link
select url, like_count from link_stat where url="https://ballentines.herokuapp.com/?name=charlatan"
I have debugged the above Query with Graph Explorer
Reference : https://developers.facebook.com/tools/explorer/145634995501895/?fql=SELECT%20like_count%20FROM%20link_stat%20WHERE%20url%20%3D%20%27https%3A%2F%2Fballentines.herokuapp.com%2F%3Fname%3Dcharlatan%27
If you check on above link, you would get proper like_count (now 3). Screenshot below
If you check above Screenshot the application selected is "Graph API Explorer" which is the default App while debugging with Graph API explorer.
If you are logged in with your proper Developer Account. the application Dropdown would also have your Application.
So after switching to your Application, click "Get App Token" and then submit the Query.
Now the like_count would come 0 for the same query. See Below Screenshot.
Now click on "Get Access Token", this would ask you to Allow the App if you not already done so. After "Allow App" proper User Access Token would be loaded in "Access token" box and now again Submit your Query. Now the "like_count" would be 3 as expected.
So you would need proper User Access Token to retrieve proper information from "link_stat" FQL table and App access token wont work for it
Hope this helps.
I guess you should use the following FQL:
select url, like_count from link_stat where url="https://ballentines.herokuapp.com/?name=charlatan"
Gives me
{
"data": [
{
"url": "https://ballentines.herokuapp.com/?name=charlatan",
"like_count": 1
}
]
}
as result...
The Open Graph debugger shows that the og:type meta-data is missing. That could be related to the problem. Can you add it?

I am currently trying to have a feature similar to the local scout (search button -> proximity) in my Windows Phone 7 app.
I'd like to get the 10 top restaurants or bars/clubs near my current location. Getting the geolocation of the user is the easy part.
Now I'd like to pass this location to an API and get the results.
I tried Bing Search API but I didn't figure out how to get special locations such as restaurants. And the SOAP service connection wasn't working from my phone.
Then I searched from others API... it seems that Google or Yahoo (PlaceFinder) or maybe Foursquare can be used too. But before investigating further, do you have any ideas of a simply solution to implement the local scout from Bing ?
Or is there another way to implement this feature ?
Oh, and I am french but not specially targeting a market so I'd like to use an international service.
Thanks a lot.
Damien
EDIT :
I guess I found a part of my solution :
Get business type/industry from Bing Phonebook API
As I want to use the Bing Search WSDL, I added a service reference to http://api.search.live.net/soap.asmx?AppId=42 (where 42 is my app key).
When I execute (from my phone) a simple test :
public void Test()
{
BingPortTypeClient bing = new BingPortTypeClient();
SearchRequest request = new SearchRequest();
request.AppId = AppId;
request.Sources = new SourceType[] { SourceType.Web };
request.Query = "restaurant";
bing.SearchCompleted += new EventHandler<SearchCompletedEventArgs>(bing_SearchCompleted);
bing.SearchAsync(request);
}
void bing_SearchCompleted(object sender, SearchCompletedEventArgs e)
{
}
I am getting the following exception :
There was no endpoint listening at http://api.search.live.net/soap.asmx that could accept the message. This is often caused by an incorrect address or SOAP action. See InnerException, if present, for more details.
Inner : The remote server returned an error: NotFound.
I thought using this API would be quite more easy and well-documented...
