I am building a nativescript app that requires a search functionality. I am using firebase for my backend and I would ideally like to use a hosted search service like algolia for the same - however the algolia-search and algolia-search-helper plugins required are not supported in nativescript. I am open to using other search services like elasticsearch too, but am not sure how to go about it.
Any suggestions on how I can implement search in my nativescript app would be great.
You could call the Algolia REST API directly.
Some references:
Making HTTP requests from NativeScript
Algolia REST API documentation
(Note: Algolia doesn't usually recommend using the REST API directly because the API clients contain some DNS-related failover logic. If you are creating a large, high-availability production app, this is something to keep in mind.)

I want to fetch api and POST data to that api in nodejs which i have created using yo generator.
You can use the Fetch API which provides an interface for fetching resources (including across the network). It will seem familiar to anyone who has used XMLHttpRequest, but the new API provides a more powerful and flexible feature set.
I have managed to make run Laravel 5.4 and implemented the API Authentication (Passport).
What I would try to achieve is to make this as my API server and build React applications that would interact on this API.
Does this mean I have to make routes on routes\api.php?
Let's say I have a React app name requestform on development and running on http://127.0.0.1:8080. How will I consume an api route with axios or jquery?
I can't seem to make the correct keyword to search on google and all the samples I can get are the ones that the API and the javascript application is on the same domain.
This post may have been answered by now. But if not then...
I think you are in the right track..

Yes. Your API routes will depend on this file.

Make sure your API Server is running, say it's on http://server.dev, you can consume the API in another app by http://server.dev/api/[your-routes].
I can't seem to make the correct keyword to search on google and all the samples I can get are the ones that the API and the javascript application is on the same domain.
This is a matter of what front-end programming you know. You can use any javascript knowledge to consume your own API with the same domain. There is already a Vue integration packaged in Laravel 5.4+ or just plain vanilla javascript or jQuery.
Hi I have made a web app to practice Meteor and am now trying to make a companion chrome extension. I am having difficulty finding resources on how to make AJAX calls to my meteor app/mongodb.
An example of what I am trying to do is find specific words on a webpage and search them in my mongodb.
Any resources or information on how to best do this would be appreciated.
I suppose you know how to make Ajax call from client. So you are having difficulty in building a REST API in Meteor. Although it is not recommended to build a REST API with Meteor, you can still do it. If you use case just require a REST API and does not have much to do with reactivity, I think you should not go with Meteor, just Node and Express should be fine.
But if you really want to use Meteor, here is the solution: Meteor has a package named webapp which let you handle HTTP requests, that is enough for building a simple REST API. If you API is more complex, check out this community package nimble:restivus it has a better API and useful functions
We are trying to make the decision if it is worth proceeding to use the Magento's SOAP APIs for our mobile App or if we should rewrite them as custom REST APIs.
We are using Magento 1.9.2.1 where the support REST APIs is limited, unlike SOAP APIs. To save us time, we would rather use the SOAP APIs but not sure if SOAP is a good for a mobile app in terms of latency compared to REST.
You should create custom module and create your own Rest API there. because none of the Magento's soap and rest API are complete .
how to create phonegap app using magento soap or rest api
Magento APIs are very slow and not supports all activities hence not recommended.
Create your own custom APIs.
Or use some free or commercial Magento Admin solutions and build over them.
I want to gather google analytics data for daily/monthly report. All visitors, visitors for specific path and conversion rate. Setting for google analytics is already done (I think).
I searched ruby libraries, but many informations are out-of-dated and google api is sometimes update.
Now(2012-09-28) what library is popular? And How to get data? I searched ruby-toolbox, but both two libraries are still active?

thanks,
Google-Api-Client works fine, is an official client and is constantly updated, just check the commit logs and you will see. Note that this API is not for Google Analytics only but for any Google API that uses the Google Discovery API. You should try that.
Regardless of the client that you use make sure it's compatible with the latest version of the API. If it's built using the Google API Discovery service it's a plus because that means the client library will have support for new methods as soon as they are available. It's like an API for building API clients.
GARB on the other hand seems to be abandoned for a while and is probably missing out on several features that came recently.
Note that the Google Analytics API are currently read only. So no client library will support that since there's no API for writing annotations. There's a feature request for that though.
