I didn't find such kind of an information in your documentation so I would like to know if there any opportunities/tools for testing API for the whole diagram? like a set of API call one after another? Will it be OK if I put several rest API calls in one test method? Are there better approaches for doing that?
Thanks,
We didn't find any lib for that but we used RestAssured library for testing API calls.

I'm considering using GraphQL with a Django backend service but I couldn't find much information regarding the API documentation. I need some solution to dynamically generate the documentation, perhaps like npm's graphql-docs with a result similar to GitHub's API docs.
Is it feasible to accomplish with graphene-django? If not, what's a good alternative for a python environment?
Yes, it's very easy to do by using GraphiQL, which is embedded in to Graphene.
The instructions on how to integrate this with Graphene are here in the graphene-python documentation. --- basically you need to add the parameter graphiql=True when setting up the API route in your urls.py file.
After it is set up, if go to your API endpoint in your browser, you'll see a nice interface for sending API calls, getting API responses, and reading documentation for both queries and mutations. The documentation is initially hidden on the right until you click on the "< Docs" link.
I'm new to Facebook development. I'm working on migrating an existing app in accordance to the Graph API upgrade guide. I'm looking for guidance around calls such as api.facebook.com/method/Fql.multiquery.
My question is: does this type of API need to be upgraded as well, or does it only apply to graph.facebook.com calls? I want to ensure that api.facebook.com/method/Fql.multiquery calls will still work after 4/30/15.
You may want to take a look at the Batch Requests of the Graph API. You can also specify dependencies between the requests.
Calls to http://api.facebook.com/method/Fql.multiquery will no longer work. The REST API is long deprecated anyway.
As #luschn said, you have to migrate to the Graph APIs batch requests, and use the /fql endpoint. You can only use FQL if you have a v2.0 app, and not higher.
I am attempting to use typescript to consume a RESTful webservice, and am having a few issues understanding how to write the call.
I want to consume this call for the Reddit API:
POST /api/register
http://www.reddit.com/dev/api
How can I write that post method using Typescript?
Look at amplify.js (http://amplifyjs.com/). This library provides a convenient wrapper around the invocation of REST services and has TypeScript definition filed to facilitate easy consumption from TypeScript.
I am trying to set up a web store using magento on a SOA Architecture. So I intend to use all of the functionalities through the API connecting it with mule ESB.
However on my research I have read that the magento API is Silly Slow. And now I am wondering if it actually can handle the requests of an entire website.
Has anybody done something like this before? Can it actually work? If not, is there a workaround?

No, it is not viable to setup a store using only Magento's SOAP and RPC APIs. THat is not the intention of these APIs.
There are examples where people have done what you are looking for such as http://www.yireo.com/software/magebridge
They claim to be 40% faster than native Magento.
I've tried the tool, and it is quite functional.
I am a noob to web services world. I need to develop a login validator module and expose it as a service. I want it to be service independent, i.e I should have the option of exposing it as a SOAP service or REST service in the future.
What pattern should I follow ? Sorry if I am unclear in my requirements, I can clarify as per need.
Thanks !!
Edit : I am using Eclipse as an IDE and Jersey libraries. I am not into any framework, simply using the MVC pattern. I find a lot of difference between SOAP ann REST methods, so I want my methods to be implementation independent - i.e I should be easily able to use my method through a SOAP or REST service call as per need. What should I do for maximum flexibility ?
Picking a good MVC framework and understanding how to use it properly can help ensure that your feature is "service independent". Most of the documentation I've read for good frameworks suggest that you keep your business logic separate from your controller.
If you read the documentation for the tools that you use, and ensure that there is a layer between your business logic and your controllers, then that will make the job of switching from SOAP to REST or some other protocol much, much easier.
Since you mentioned you're using Eclipse in your comment below, I'm assuming you are using or are willing to use Java:
Restlets
http://www.restlet.org/
Spring 3.0 REST
http://blog.springsource.com/2009/03/08/rest-in-spring-3-mvc/
Develop your service as a POJO. Make sure to respect staless pattern.
Create an EndPoint class for each publication type you require (Soap, Rest, EJB, JMS, what ever)
Use appropriate standard to expose your EndPoint. For Soap and Rest the JAX-WS api and implementations can do it for you using java annotations on your EndPoint.
That's it !
