The RingCentral API Explorer allows to select the app and start testing all the APIs, but what I prefer is testing the APIs with Postman as it is easier and flexible.
While I am testing the APIs with Postman clients, I was look if there are any ready-made Postman collection available which I can simply import and start testing the RingCentral APIs with minimum changes.
I haven't found any available collection for RingCentral APIs in the net. Is there any existing API Postman collection available which is been used by RingCentral developers and tester?
There are some postman collections available, but not sure if those are updated. However you can try these following importing to your Postman client:
https://github.com/grokify/ringcentral-postman
and
http://ringcentral.github.io/api-specs/specs_engage_engage-digital_postman-2.0.json
ref: https://developers.ringcentral.com/engage/digital/guide/postman
You can try importing into your postman and start testing, create different environment.
Alternately there is also Swagger 2.0 to Postman 2.0 converter which will convert Swagger collection to Postman.
You can find the reference and Swagger collection here:
https://community.ringcentral.com/questions/629/postman-collection.html
Navigate to the API reference page. It looks like this:
Fill out the information. In this example you'd add a person ID.
Click Try it out and follow the instructions.
The cURL command on the right will automatically update with your auth information.
Open Postman.
Click the Import button, located on top left corner.
Click the Raw Text tab.
Paste the generated cURL command in the text feild.
Postman will automatically generate the authorization headers and body. Once you do this once you can use it as a template for all other API's using Postman.

Post Method Used In ReactNative
Error raised
Forbidden: /api/login/
I created a user API using djangorest framework and it is functioning well, however i dont know how to add it to my react native front end for authentication. I would like users to login and the drf to authenticate them. Is there a tutorial i can follow, i tried to look at a few but they didnt work for me. I'm new to react native. Would appreciate elaborate answers and shared resources
Currently using expo cli and unable to fetch data from drf(django rest framework).
is there a way i can request my post method to use djangosessions for authentication instead of auth tokens
the method in the image only works if
'rest_framework.authentication.SessionAuthentication',
is disabled and this is used to get data in api so it cannot be excluded
welcome to ReactNative
You can use different libraries to handle an api request.
Take a look at axios:

I want to create a stripe payment integration using Django Rest Framework as backend and Angular/Cli as frontend. And also I want to confirm the payment using stripe webhooks. I could not able to find Angular documentation just for the only frontend. And also the Stripe docs are generally has written for flask and not for the rest framework. Any help will be appreciated. Thank you in advance.
I've found a library and some newer docs that I think will solve your issues: https://richnologies.gitbook.io/ngx-stripe/core-concepts/checkout
Using the ngx-stripe library as a wrapper, you can setup the publishable key on your front end. The library then offers a StripeService.
If you setup some custom endpoints on your backend to handle the dirty work (accept payments, create customers, etc), you can have then have the StripeService listen for the response and react accordingly (create a checkout session, display payment successful message, etc.)
Generating a Postman collection from an openAPI / Swagger documentation JSON file is already possible using the Postman API Client (a desktop app).
However, for purposes of programmatically modifying an existing collection using the NodeJs-based Postman SDK I'd like to be able to automate the process of generating a postman collection.
Whether that is via a command line tool (I haven't found any such tool), Postman API REST request (I haven't been able to find out how) or otherwise, does not really matter.
As long as it is possible to do without pressing a button in some app.
Is this possible at all?
Postman uses this module in the APP to convert from OpenAPI to a Postman Collection.
https://github.com/postmanlabs/OpenAPI-to-Postman
This should provide you with a programmatical way of doing this outside of the app.
Since you can´t do all the nice looking stuff with the GDK at this point (html, images and so on) on cards. I was wondering if there is a possibility to ask a Mirror API from within my application (created with GDK) to send me some data?
Example:
I see the flow like this:
The GDK app is started with "ok glass, search app"
You talk what you want to search for.
The app takes the word and asks the Mirror API for a result.
The Mirror API sends the result to the glass timeline.

Absolutely. If it makes sense for your app to either communicate with an external service that sends data back via the Mirror API, or calls the Mirror API itself, then you can certainly do so. (Although you begin getting dangerously close to just doing it all in Mirror at that point.)
The biggest challenge you'll face is having your app go through the OAuth dance to get an auth token to use.
It sounds like the core of your issues is that you want a richer way to display content in the static part of the timeline to the right of the clock. You have a couple of options.
GDK
If you'd like to stay pure GDK, you can create your own view, and flatten it into a bitmap. The steps to complete this are the same as for other Android devices.
Mirror API
You could also use the Mirror API to insert HTML static cards using timeline's insert method, but to do this you will need to communicate some authentication information to your GDK Glassware. For example, if you want to insert into the Mirror API directly from Glass, you would need a way to provide an access and refresh token to your GDK Glassware.
There is no graceful way to do this with the released APIs, but I've seen some people accomplish this using the OAuth 2.0 flow for devices or scannable QR codes.
If you go down this route, be prepared to update your implementation. Google has announced improved support for sending authentication information to GDK Glassware. Once it's available you will want to switch over to it.
Mirror API allow you to communicate back to it from Glass through the contact that you can create using Mirror API.
How it works -
you create a contact,
then when you need to do wit GDK on step 2 of your flow is share a
note with your contact
the words get transcribed and delivered to you Mirror notification
listener.
the mirror notification listener on server get the text of what kind
of app you would like to search, perform the search and deliver the
result by simply publishing on your timeline.
That's the best that i can see right now.
Here is a link how to declare voice menu commands (now only two are available, but you can propose more)
https://developers.google.com/glass/develop/mirror/contacts#declaring_voice_menu_commands
P.S. To go through oauth2 challenge - download sample mirror app
https://developers.google.com/glass/samples/mirror edit you
oauth2.properties file with creds you will get on your google development web console (you will need to create the app with google and request to enable Mirror API)
then run mvn clean install
then run
mvn jetty:jetty
I have created a chrome extension which gets data from the current active tab in chrome. I send the data to my webapp via an API which stores it in the database.
At the moment my chrome extension has a fixed user_id. I would like to prompt the user the user to log in in order to get the correct user.
Is it safe/valid to check for cookie - if it exists use it otherwise prompt user to sign in via the browser?
It's probably okay, as long as you're not storing anything sensitive in the cookie like a password (obviously).
However, the appropriate way to accomplish this would be through something like oAuth. In this scenario your web app's API would be a oAuth consumer, and you would use the following library to authenticate in a Chrome extension:
https://developer.chrome.com/extensions/tut_oauth.html
This library will save an authentication to local storage for you. It's pretty easy to use. The difficult part is ensuring your web app's API supports OpenID. Google's AppEngine supports this pretty much out of the box with little configuration on your side, but this may not be the case with your API.
