Can I use Postman to call the Podio API and get Data? - webhooks

I'm currently looking for an easier solution to communicate with the Podio API. What I'm trying to do is gather data from an app that is populated through a relationship field and then create a Zapier automation that would use a webhook to gather the data (I've used this method with the Callrail API, and I must say their documentation is much easier to understand than the Podio Documentation). I'm using Postman as a testing platform to make sure that I get the data I need before I create any Zap.
Disclaimer: I am not confidently versed with any language, I've studied Python and some JSON for personal projects before but I am completely lost with working with the Podio API as it requires complete competency with working with APIs using a coding language.

(ssg-wsg) How to get TSC details using MS Excel?

I am not a software developer (no coding experience too), and I find difficulties of searching of TSC / course details from SFw website.
I tried to import SSG-WSG's API to Excel by following the API/tutorial:
API:
https://mock-public-api.ssg-wsg.sg/courses/directory
Tutorial:
https://www.codementor.io/#benniejayguevarra/importing-public-web-api-to-excel-no-coding-required-14bzfy4nev
Is this a correct/proper way of retrieving data from SSG-WSG using API? Please suggest if it is not..
Anyway, I can only managed to retrieved up to 10 rows of data (see screenshots below).. could you please enlighten me on how to retrieve more than 10 rows of data?

APIs can be used in multiple ways whether to be used in Excel (like what you did), Postman, implement it in a software and etc.
https://mock-public-api.ssg-wsg.sg/courses/directory is a SSG-WSG mock APIs URL which only provides fixed responses. To get the actual responses, you have to subscribe their APIs and call to their production base URL: https://api.ssg-wsg.sg
You can find more information in their API documentation here

How to write TFS API using pseudo code?

I am just wondering is it possible to test the TFS API given in the Microsoft website to test the API whether it's working or not? If so is it possible with pseudo code? Can you guide me? I need to test it before i implement it. Or do you have other ways to test the API?
This are the TFS API I am going to test whether it's working,
I need to make sure the API are available in sharepoint to use
Unfortunately, there is no such Microsoft website to test the API or any pseudo code to handle it.
You could submit a uservoice here, and there has been a similar one:

However, for the API you are using--Create a work item, there is an alternative way to verify whether the work item field could be created or not. By using op parameter:
Use test to verify that the value is valid without actually saving the work item.

FTP in and out of Acumatica

I am trying to integrate Acumatica with an interfacing system and I need to be able to send and receive data in xml format, say for example one is Customer info, that should be sent to the interfacing system.
For some reasons, we ruled out the Import/ Export scenarios and we need to achieve the interface using FTP.
I'm unable to find much info online on how to FTP data in and out of Acumatica. So if anyone can share links to some documentation, it will be very helpful. Thanks.
Seeing as you want to be able to send and receive data in an XML format, you might want to check the Web Service options.
There are two possibilities, the Contract Based SOAP API and the Screen Based SOAP API. Both of these are sending SOAP request in XML format.
If you are starting a new project, Acumatica is suggesting you use either version of the Contract Based API (SOAP or REST). So your best bet is probably in looking at Contract Based SOAP API.
As there is not much information on the structure behind what is being sent you will probably have to create yourself project in c# first and inspect the structure of the package being sent to the server hosting the Acumatica instance so that you can reproduce it using your own FTP Interface.
You need to work with .Net native FtpWebRequest class. You can find more information at MSDN FtpWebRequest.

Why Rest Api in Sharepoint

What is the main reason that we go for Rest Api in SharePoint 2013. Already we have Client Object Model for implementing application. Anybody can please guide me.
The Client Side Object Model is built upon the REST API so that is one reason for it to exist. For good JavaScript developers they may like the simplicity of the REST API. For people trying to keep their page size to a minimum, they may appreciate forgoing the size of the CSOM and its dependencies. Lastly, in mash up scenarios with other tools, having an easy way to address content via REST urls makes for better interoperability with other tools instead of relying on a product specific API (i.e. the CSOM).

Excel VBA to Quickbooks Online Link?

Is there any way I can write an Excel VBA program to interface with Quickbooks online? I work for a company that uses quickbooks for accounting, and I'd like to write a simple program that I can run from one of our common excel files to take data from that file and dump into in a Quickbooks bill.
The problem Im running in to is that I dont know where to start. The quickbooks online API online seems suitable for other web apps, and any integration with Excel is online with quickbooks desktop. Are there any good resources? Is this even possible?
You can definitely use the QuickBooks Online API to do what you're looking to do.
The API is usable to both web apps and desktop apps.
If you follow the linked text above there's tons of documentation.
The basic process if you're building a desktop app would be to:
get your OAuth tokens from Intuit's OAuth playground
find an OAuth library for your language of choice
parse the Excel sheet
send OAuth signed REST requests to Intuit's API to send the data to QBO
If you're building a web app instead, you'd be better off implementing the entire OAuth signup process instead of using the playground tool.
You probably don't want to do this from directly within Excel because there's a lot of OAuth signing and other crazy stuff that likely won't be easy/available within Excel directly. But you should be able to use Intuit's .NET DevKit to do what you're trying to do.
I researched this last month. From what I can tell the API is only for creating apps for their app store. The apps have to comply with their standards for navigation, security etc... so the answer to your question from what I can tell is that it's not possible. (I could be wrong but I was asking myself the same question a few weeks ago.)
Probably not the answer you were hoping for but I came to accept it. After talking with my business partner who is a Pro Adviser he said that it was easy enough for him to just upload a csv file if the information was correct and the file was documented.
QuickBooks Online API Diagnostics.php ERROR However, from the looks of this post one might have a reason to believe otherwise.
EDIT The API has been updated. Keith Palmer's answer is correct.
Last week this sample was posted:
OAuthHangoutSamples
I have been using a modified oAuth part of this. I found it was easier to build out the transaction than use the SDK for the API. I have a wrapper class, exposed to com that is working in VBA.
Attending the Intuit's Friday Developer Google Hangout was very helpful in my Intuit Magical Mystery Tour.
