This request is working fine
https://localhost:3000/api/catalog/1435
Being catalog the method and 1435 the catalogId to get.
I cannot transform the server (ASP controller) to work with
https://localhost:3000/api/catalog/?1435
that is, 1435 become a Query param.
How can I make the last method configurable in a Postman request?
The original seems perfectly fine to be honest:
https://localhost:3000/api/catalog/1435
Now, if you want to query the catalog, and thus use a query string, you would likely want to do it as:
https://localhost:3000/api/catalog?id=1435
This is what a client could do to GET a catalog that matches id 1435. In my mind, this makes more sense if you can query a catalog by multiple parameters. Because from a data model point of view if the catalog resource key is the id, then I would use what you had originally.

I have a client that has a large number of customers, and I have reports that can accept parameters and pass to a REST-based Web API to pull, for example, customer-specific records. This, of course, is easy using Power BI.
The challenge is, there could literally be 500,000 records out there, so filters and passing filters is not really an option. What I need to do is pass a value via Power BI Embedded to the report that will update the parameter of the Web API dynamically.
Such as https://services.server.com/api/customers/{customerId}
.
I have read and experimented with about every technique possible, and yet I still can't seem to pull this simple (and common) scenario off. To confirm, this is would work fine if I allowed a user to filter these values manually, but the goal is to have the Web.Content value be dynamic (like via a parameter) and then the parameter (like CustomerId) get fed to the report externally, like in a Power BI embedded parameter to the report.
Again, this can't be a filter, I just want to do what you used to be able to do with SSRS or Crystal Reports and send something like {parameter} = (or eq) '{some value}' and have the report use that as the datasource JSON feed.
Any thoughts on this frustrating situation?
You can do this with RLS:
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/power-bi/developer/embedded-row-level-security
Bring all the 500,000 records to your pbix.
Define a role which will filter based on an username.
When embedding, pass the role and the desired username to the embed token.
I'm retreiving event data using Real Time Google Analytics API, so as to trigger responses each time conditions are met - while the user navigates.
This is my actual query on Google Analytics Real Time API (which works perfectly!)
return service.data().realtime().get(
ids='ga:' + profile_id,
metrics='rt:totalEvents',
dimensions='rt:eventAction,rt:eventLabel,rt:eventCategory',
max_results='25').execute()
I'd like to show results grouped by each particular session or user. So as to trigger a message to this particular user if some conditions are met.
Is that possible? And if so, how do apply this criteria to this query?
"Trigger a message to a particular user" would imply that you either have personally identifiable data stored in GA, which would violate Googles TOS, or that you map an anonymous ID (clientid or UserID or similar) to a key stored in an external database (which might be legally murky, depending on your legislation). Since I don't want to throw away the answer I have written before reading your question to the end :-) I am going to assume the latter.
So, is that possible? No, not really. By default GA does not identify neither an identifier for the user (client id or user id) nor for the session (a session identifier is present only in the BigQuery export schema).
The realtime API has a very limited set of dimensions (mostly I think because data aggregation does not happen in realtime), so you can't even use custom dimensions. Your only chance would be to overwrite one of the standard fields, i.e. campaign information.
Of course this destroys the original data in the field. So you should use an extra view for the API query, send a custom dimension with the user identifier along, and then use an advanced filter to copy the custom dimension value to a standard field (while you original data is safe in your other data views). This is a bit hackish, though.
Also the realtime API only displays the current hit per user, so you cannot group by user in the query in any case - you'd need to download and store the data to an external database and do your aggregation there.
I currently have an ember app that's trying to retrieve data from a 3rd party API using Ember Data. The urls are in the format, /user_id/date/food, which would retrieve the user's consumed food on the given day. I want to retrieve the list of foods the user consumed given a date range (2015-06-07, 2015-08-10).
I tried to use Ember.query and filter out the unnecessary data, but the API doesn't have an endpoint which would return all of the consumed foods.
Currently I'm supporting the single day query using queryRecord and passing the day in.
If /user_id/date/food is the only endpoint the 3rd party API is providing, the only option you would have is to make a request for every day in the range you want to get. You might want to use Ember.RSVP.all to wait till all requests are retrieved and finally concatenate the result for example.
But this is not really recommended, because a large range would be very inefficient.
We are considering moving from Backbone to Ember. There are a few issues through I can't get answers to from the docs.
1) Ember-Data caches it's data. Our application is multi-user so other users need to be able to see new records created by everyone. Is there a way around this? I read on another post that when a query string is passed, ember data does not cache data, is this true? If it is, can I then just always send query string and nothing will be cached?
2) Ember data has a single model in the router that appears to be instantiated at route load time. I can see that your can request data from multiple sources by returning an object with many this.store.find calls. Say I have a select element and when you select an option, another select gets populated with items based on the first select (which requires a call back to the server). How would that work, how can I get model data on demand (not at route load time)?
I'm not sure if it answers your question but you can always call
model.reload()
to refetch data from server so you can work with up to date data.
You may want to consider Faye (http://faye.jcoglan.com/), which would let you have a pub/sub setup that could update your store by listening to topics of interest. This uses WebSocket for the streaming interface. You could then put new objects into the store, remove or update existing objects which the server could publish to the client.
Function:
App.Fullquiz.find(5)
queries my server api for this record, but this record is already available in the model.
How to get this record without querying the server?
I think you can use
store.getById()
http://emberjs.com/api/data/classes/DS.Store.html#method_getById
Get a record by a given type and ID without triggering a fetch.
Good luck
