I am developing one e-commerce app project where I have to track the order status. I use Aftership Webhook API. Webhook provides a tracking event updates to our specified webhook URL(defined in our server). I read documentation but I dont know the proper approach to test the API. and in documentation it is also not defined. Can anyone tell or suggest me how can I test or track the updates.
To test Aftership API, first, you can follow the API reference to get your API key. And to tracking an order with webhook, your need to do the POST /trackings to https://api.aftership.com/v4 beforehand with body like(you can add optional parameter to the request body):
{"tracking": {"tracking_number": "<order tracking number>"}
And then you can follow the webhook documentation and add your webhook URL and configure the types of updates you want to get. At this point, you should be able to see the tracking update HTTP request coming into your webhook URL. Remember it will only send callback request when there is tracking status update.
Also, you can use other tracking APIs to get the status, update the tracking or delete it now.

for my dialogflow project I would like to intercept the user request before the dialogflow responds with the appropriated intent.
My goal:
-The user sends a request with an input message
-I access this message, I transform it (I apply a function to it) and then it is delivered to the dialogflow (so dialog.
I'm using a webhook linked to an specific intent. I'm using cloud functions to handle the webhook.
I would like to access the request using this webhook, modify the original request and allow dialogflow to respond according to this new modified request.
I hope I've made myself clear.
Thank you very much in advance!
I think it is not possible using a webhook, I suggest you to take a look at the Dialogflow fulfillment documentation. As you can see in the architecture representation, your webhook is behind of the intent matched, so the user request has been processed by Dialogflow and the fulfillment will perform actions based on the matched intent, so you only be able to modify the task on the service that you defined within the fulfillment and its response.
You could be able to do this according to your use-case, if you're using a custom development to make calls to the Dialogflow API, you can add an additional step between End-User and Dialogflow where you could intercept the user request, modify it and then send it to the Dialogflow API.
If you’re using any integrations such as Action on Google or Dialogflow Hangouts, this will not be possible since these services are the ones that manage the calls to the Dialogflow API.
I have problem with slack api exactly every change in slack is saved in separate json file.But problem is that I want to get when user's active/away change in json,but I can't get this information in json.I found that there is user.read scope with users.getPresence() method.Also users.info() method in user.read scope works and I have json with that information.Any ideas why one method works but another doesn't work?
You seem to be using the Slack Web API in place of the Slack RTM and events. What you need is to subscribe to the presence_change event. Ensure you subscribe to presence events for the specified users using presence_sub. You will be notified when a user changes the presence and from the response you can fetch and parse your json.

I've seen that twitter changed their endpoints to get and send direct messages, I noticed from a reply from here that it is a workaround to be able to send messages with well-known libraries such as tweepy, but all I need in this case is to list the messages in my inbox.
I've noticed that there is an account activity api which I can use to achieve this goal.
But, I do not understand how to implement Challenge-Response Checks, can you provide an example? how twitter checks this? it is through a post request to my site? to what specific URI they do this? I tried sending a pipedream url as webhook (to see what kind of request they were doing, but absolutely no request was shown)
The account activity endpoint is part of Twitter's Premium product - so you may need to pay to use it. They have comprehensive documentation on the CRC - that includes a sample Python implementation.
I think you will find it easier to use to use the GET direct_messages/events/list API call.
That will list all of the messages in your inbox for the last 30 days.
I am looking into integrating with the Postmates API. Their documentation lists states that the Create a Delivery API returns a tracking url:
tracking_url: This url can be used to track the courier during the
delivery
However, this does not mention what is returned. Is it the latitude and longitude? Is it an image?
What is actually returned by this URL?
It returns a web page with delivery status and a map. You can create a delivery using your sandbox key and check it out.
If you want to get updates for the delivery you either need to setup a web-hook or pull delivery details using get delivery API.
I am using wso2 1.10.0 api manager for first time. I need to access the http backend with simple query parameter. I published the api and tried either by setting as queryparam or json object, it's not giving me the expected result. I will get binary response or method not allowed. When tried setting only http endpoint I never got response its just keeping processing for long time. Please suggest me how do I access simple http backend. Need to show demo in a week.
Please help to solve this.
You get 'method not allowed' when you try to access a resource which was not defined for that method (say backend has POST method supporting resource only and you try to do a GET request)
I guess the issue is with the way you have defined the resources for the api from the publisher application. (invalid HTTP methods for resources)
If you think you have defined them correctly, then the next step to identify the issue is wirelogs. wirelogs provide all the info in request passing through the api manager gateway (request headers, body etc)
Follow this article http://mytecheye.blogspot.com/2013/09/wso2-esb-all-about-wire-logs.html on how to enable and read them
You can then directly call the backend (say curl -v to the backend) and compare the request from the direct call vs the one going out from
gateway to the backend and check the difference. This would help you start finding the issue
Since you are new to API manager, I would recommend you to do following first
Try out a simple scenario similar to your one. You can google it. This is from official documentation. would recommend to try out a simple scenario first. say https://docs.wso2.com/display/AM1100/Convert+a+JSON+Message+to+SOAP+and+SOAP+to+JSON
Then use SOAP UI or similar app to directly call the backend web service (not the api manager) and get the SOAP request and SOAP response for the backend.
Then create the api in API manager. you need to do the same thing in the sample i provided. only difference is the soap payload. use the previously collected SOAP messages.
Enable wire logs. for that see the comments in the previous answer. In wirelogs you will see >> and << signs
To read the wire log, first we have to identify message direction.
DEBUG - wire >> - This represent the message coming into API manager from the wire (will notice two set of these. one coming in to the
gateway from the rest client and response coming in to the api manager from the backend. )
DEBUG - wire << - This represents the message going to the wire from API manager (again two sets. request going from api manager to the
backend service and the response sent to the rest client from the api manager.)
the soap message will be printed in this log. check for the request going from api manager to the backend and the response coming from the
backend to the api manager. you can compare that to the onces you collected in the step 2 and do modifications if needed to the sequnces.
the wirelogs will also print the http headers. so check that as well.
hope you could set up a working sample using these steps
