how implement api that call some dependent api? - django

Suppose admin can add api that later user use this ,api but sometime 2 api that admin added could dependent together how to handle in backend that one of response in for example add to header other api and send request and all things shall is dynamic
thx

Check the wiring of the Url starting from the settings of the web application down to the API let them be able to talk to each other if the API is RESTful.

Web application and API

I have a web application on my domain, I just allow so IPs to connect, talk and retrieves from my app, now the problem is that another API needs to talk to my app and retrieve info, but I can't open my app to the public , also the API doesn't allow token authentication, it just wants to connect to my app from any IP, any ideas to solve this?
a third party is an option but I need another practical option
I am trying to answer your question from whatever I can understand, if api does not allow any token authentication , then you need to implement something which will authenticate/validate/verify the incoming requests.
Now, if you don't have any scope of changing the implementation of the existing api, then probably you need to add a layer of say API Gateway. If you are using or want to use spring boot then it provides very simple implementation of it through Netflix Zuul.
If this doesn't answer your question, please provide more details.

What is the official way to customize, extend and move the API Publisher and API Store out of the WSO2 API Manager server?

WSO2 reached out to me in Twitter and told me to put a question here if I had one.
My client wants to customize (for now it only means changing the layout of things) the API Publisher and API Store from a WSO2 API Manager 2.0.0.
Since I know that inevitably we will get to the point where the changes are going to be profound and require external libraries for new functionality (we have a library of AngularJS code which I know they will want to use), I want to know:
What is the official, recommended way to customize and extend the web applications for the API Store and the API Publisher? I need to have version control, unit testing, etc.
Is there a way to move these web apps out of the APIM server and into their own server? All our UI applications are hosted in a specific server.
Realistically, how much change can I introduce before make making an awful mess?
Thank you.
You can create new themes and subthemes for API publisher and store UIs. You can refer docs here.
Please note that publisher and store apps are written in Jaggery. You need a Jaggery server to host Jaggery apps.
If you want to add more functionality to the UI, you can either write jaggery, or you'll have to write your own web application (maybe with AngularJS or any other). In that case, you can use APIM REST APIs to talk to APIM backend.

Application as an API in WSO2API 1.7

I have published an application as API in WSO2 api manager.So when subscriber visits the wso2 store and opens the api,should be able to see the result(call to the restful service deployed) as though a JSON response.Currently as the subscriber opens the api, they are only able to see the API details with the Production and Sandbox urls which they do not understand how to be used.Isn't there a way I may allow them to open up into a front end UI message which the user understands to go ahead rather than arriving at a new place which is not understood.or any better way of handling it.
Product you need for this is WSO2 APP Manager. not API manager

Where should stripe be integrated in single page application with django backend

I am new to stripe integration. I've looked at couple of examples but I'm unsure where I should integrate stripe in my application. My front-end is in Angular and the backend is in django. Should I integrate stripe in Angular code base or django code base?
Both. Front-end: either use Checkout (Embedded Form) or their Custom Form. This will spit out a token that you must process on the server side. If you are using routing or have a complex app, then you probably want a library to abstract away from Stripe's default behaviors, as it uses a simple form action. This will cause a reload or redirection from the page which could be a problem if you don't want to leave the app. I prefer this lightweight wrapper, though others exist: https://github.com/tobyn/angular-stripe-checkout
Server: You include their library for your language (Python if you want) in a script written to process the token. This is what actually sends the charge to Stripe. Just doing the front-end side only sends them a token which shows up in the logs but does nothing. This is where you create a new customer, charge, subscription, etc. according to the API for your language.
Once you've got that set up, then you'll probably want to listen for their webhooks, save the user that is created in your backend with its created from the initial payment, etc.
You can integrate it both in the front-end and back-end, but if it's a single page app and the backend is REST-ful it makes sense to do it in Angular

Login/Registration functionality in cq5

I need to create register/login functionality in CQ5. There are three ways
1 - The register/login functionality should be prepared as web service hosted on a Java Application Server and then we can consume data from web services.
2 - The functionality should be prepared as web service based on RESTFull that hosted on CQ itself since AEM is developed around the REST principal and REST web services is certainly one which will be supported. So I believe RESTfull web services can be hosted with CQ5.
3 - Why do we need web services? I do not think it requires web services since my application is not going to communicate with other application and it dont want to expose any services to outside world. Why don't we create register/login functionality as we do in normal web application. Can we create a OSGI bundle that invoke databases to store user details for register/login functionality?
I would go for 3rd option but my concern is AEM is not the place to build our business logic to carry out functions that are not related to content rendering.
which option would you choose and why? Kindly share your ideas and thoughts. I am just looking for best solution to develop register/login functionality in CQ.
Thanks
I think i am late to the party but it might help someone. Yes, you can very well create rest webservices in CQ and they work well. So, you can take that approach.
The way to go about implementing login/registration would be how it is done OOTB but OOTB is also bad in the way it implements it so you have to make modifications to overcome that.
1) You need to register and Authentication handler with CQ. If you are looking for a sample there is a form authentication handler source that you can look at.
2) We have integrated out Auth handler with Active Directory (AD). Since AD is supported by default, so it is easy to integrate with Auth Handlers.
3) Next you need to create a user login token for which you can look into TokenUtil class of CQ or if you are looking to develop SSO, you can look into SSO code that is packaged OOTB.
