I'm currently working with a health company that requests their patient data to be HIPAA compliant.
Being unfamiliar with HIPAA Compliance, after research, I found sites like Truevault that offer HIPAA compliance databases so patient data is securely stored and cannot be stolen.
However, when reading the documentation of their REST Api, I was confused exactly what is the "database" part of Truevault. Their documentation supports APIs for vaults and documents. Vaults store the douments.
Here is my specific question: In the Truevualt Api, would I securely send data to Truevault through a document? If not, then do I need to use another third party service (such as Parse) to first gather the patient data and THEN send it to Truevault?
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.
TrueVault accepts JSON documents, which we receive via our RESTful API. Furthermore, this data is typically sent from client-side applications directly to TrueVault.
If you have any other questions or need clarification, you can reach us via our Community Forums.
Cheers,
Dan Cleary
Customer Success Engineer at TrueVault

I have an offline pharmacy management system. Meanwhile I have an online Node/Express API. Now I want to access this offline pharmacy management system from my online Node/Express API. By accessing it I mean I want to fetch all the medicines from offline system and show them in my online rest api.
I don’t know how to handle such kind of scenario, you can suggest other possible ways to handle this kind of scenario such through connection strings, or through an IP or through CORS or any other possible way. I Really appreciate your valuable feedbacks and suggestions about this and thanks in advance.
Note:
For reference the FoodPanda which is an online popular food service uses this scenario but interact with offline restaurants from their online website; you can search foods and restaurants which use local management systems but their foods are real time updated in online website.
I am successful of fetching my own data using Instagram Graph Api but unable to find a way to get other person's data.
Official document clearly state that metadata of basic data for other Instagram businesses and creators are obtainable but not been able to find any code or document about it.
If anybody know how to do it I would love to know.
Even providing me a link to document or web page that have said information is hugely appriciated.

This is described in the Business Discovery documentation. See also the API reference.
The tricky part is that you need to provide your account ID in the URL. (Basically, your account's node is used to access the business_discovery edge.)
You provide the target account's username in the field parameter, for example:
https://graph.facebook.com/v3.2/YOUR_ACCOUNT_ID?fields=business_discovery.username(bluebottle){followers_count,media_count}&access_token={access-token}
Where bluebottle is the username of the account you want data for.
Mind that this really works with business and creators accounts, so you won't obtain data for any random account this way.
Throughout my career, I've relied on and used various API services in my project. I saw multiple mechanisms of how these APIs are secured, but most common one seems to be via API Keys.
I am now planning to build out my own API service and being unfamiliar with security part of this I had few questions:
So far, what I gathered is to do the following: Create API key, store it's hash in db, only show api key to user 1 time, check for api key in requests and rate-limit based on it.
But above raises one concern, if someone was to inspect customer website they could easily get this api key (if customer is calling api directly from their front end) and abuse it, correct? This can be done in form of constantly hitting rate-limits or sending bad data to customers dashboard.
I feel like I am missing few key parts here and would appreciate if someone could outline best practices of how this is done nowadays in NodeJS. Thank you.
EDIT: Users of such service would be developers utalizing this API in their product
I am using DocuSign Open API'S to generate a report. Can anyone suggest which API I should use, if any?
I have tried to execute the API from DocuSign but a report API is not available.
Thanks in advance.
DocuSign does not have an API that allows you to access the web console's Reporting function.
Depending on what you're looking for, you can pull data from the Envelopes API.
DocuSign is developing a Data Feed API that will allow much more in-depth access to information. Data Feed is currently in limited, early access - I would recommend reaching out to your Account Manager or the Sales team if that is of interest to you.
Tirnuagari, these APIs are not yet public, but we hope to make them public soon. I can't promise an exact time frame, but I'll update this thread when I hear something from the team working on this. Thanks for your patience!
It seems that Instagram has two means of scraping public data. There is the official API for which you need to get an API key and permissions, as described in the guide https://www.instagram.com/developer/ For a tag-specific search, the official API uses the endpoint:
https://api.instagram.com/v1/tags/{tag-name}?access_token=ACCESS-TOKEN
But it also seems that many people are scraping Instagram by using a different public API (which I think is the one accessed by the front-end of the website). This "unofficial" API uses the endpoint:
https://www.instagram.com/explore/tags/{tag-name}/?__a=1
I cannot find any information regarding support for the "unofficial" version. Does anybody know what limitations may exist on this API? If this method of retrieving data satisfies the requirements of our application, is there any reason we should still engage the rigorous API token review process to get our application approved for "official" API public_content permissions?
As far as I know
Does anybody know what limitations may exist on this API?
It is a direct violation of Instagram terms of use as in here
10.We prohibit crawling, scraping, caching or otherwise accessing any content on the Service via automated means, including but not
limited
to, user profiles and photos (except as may be the result of standard
search engine protocols or technologies used by a search engine with
Instagram's express consent).
And as a developer there is no grantee that these API remain
unchanged. so you probably experiencing system fail and be forced to
re develop parts of your code times to time.
Also it worth mentioning that users won't easily give you username
and passwords of their account, as the public API just requires
confirmation to access limited account resources.
is there any reason we should still engage the rigorous API token
review process to get our application approved for "official" API
public_content permissions?
