Wrappers for RESTful API

Are there any published Java wrapper classes for the WebI RESTful API? Or do I have to manually write and parse JSON/XML?

Hello Jean-Philippe,
I can just give you my personal point of view if you're interested in.
Moving to RESTful is not just a technology change but a deep paradigm change. I think having a kind of wrappers based on legacy approach would be slow, error-prone and will not cover all the new features delivered in BI4.
I feel that trying to wrap every RESTful call offered (the number of supported operations is huge) in a generic way is not the most efficient to answer to a specific application. It will be faster to just grab the needed information and process it for a specific usecase.
The API offered (first came with 4.0 SP5) is stable (still anwering in the same way).
Because each developer has his/her own mindset, I don't expect that everybody will love to work with a RESTful API (even if most of comments we received are very positive and enthusiastic regarding how it's now possible to do complex operations in a friendly way, from different technologies, ...).
But I hope others we give a chance to discover how this new approach can be benefic in a world moving to Could and Mobility based applications.

Audit usage for REST API in SharePoint 2013

Hi,
Is there any OOB way for SharePoint to log access in REST API so that it will track which application/user uses the REST API?
Thanks,
Kenny

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that you wanted to audit usage for REST API in SharePoint 2013.
Per my knowleadge, there is no out of the box way to accomplish this with SharePoint.
SharePoint 2013 introduces a Representational State Transfer (REST) service that is comparable to the existing SharePoint
client object models.
This means that developers can perform Create,
Read, Update, and Delete (CRUD) operations from their apps for SharePoint, solutions, and client applications, using REST web technologies and standard Open Data Protocol (OData) syntax.

Tildes in Field Names for REST API

In spanish, the term "Description" is translated as "Descripción".
So, I have a field name 'Descripción' in a SharePoint List. Internally, Sharepoint stores the name as 'Descripci_x00f3_n'. Ok.
But I don't know why I can't search by this field using any of the following URI's:
http://myhost:myport/_api/Web/Lists/GetByTitle('myList')/Items?$filter=Descripci_x00f3_n eq 'sometext'
http://myhost:myport/_api/Web/Lists/GetByTitle('myList')/Items?$filter=Descripci%f3n eq 'sometext'
http://myhost:myport/_api/Web/Lists/GetByTitle('myList')/Items?$filter=Descripción eq 'sometext'
I obtain the same HTTP error: 400 Bad Request.
any suggestions?

Hi,
Please use the following URI to check whether the issue would still occurs.
http://myhost:myport/_api/Web/Lists/GetByTitle('myList')/Items
If the issue wouldn’t occurs, use the following URI to try it, it working fine in my test environment.
http://myhost:myport/_api/Web/Lists/GetByTitle('myList')/Items?$filter=Descripci%5Fx00f3%5Fn eq 'sometext'
You can also check the field type, use a text field to try it.

Which Eloqua REST API documentation link should use ?

I found 2 links as mentioned below for REST API Documentation:
http://secure.eloqua.com/api/docs/Static/Rest/2.0/doc.htm
http://secure.eloqua.com/api/docs/Static/Rest/2.0/index.htm
Is these links are correct or is there any development guide link available which I am missing.
So I need some details that which link should I use for my reference or which link will be used for future enhancement?

I am looking for the same. Were you happen to find any API guide or developers guide for REST API 2.0?
Thank you,

How to get permission of a sharepoint list for a user using REST api

Hi there,
I have a requirement where i need to check the access permission of a user against a List or Library only using REST api from my remote salesforce app. [I already have access token and I am able to view list, add item etc..]
Say for example, I have to send the list name and user name, and get the result as Read, Write, Contribute(Manage), None. I need to display what permission does that user have for that List.
How do I achieve this. Please help me.
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
For High and low bits, we can create a new SP.BasePermissions object to use like below:
function success(data){
var permissions = new SP.BasePermissions();
permissions.set(SP.PermissionKind.manageLists);
var hasPermission = permissions.hasPermissions(data.d.EffectiveBasePermissions.High, data.d.EffectiveBasePermissions.Low);
Here is a detailed article for your reference:

What is the best way to get storage data for hard disk using REST api

Hello All,
Given that I have disk info for virtual machine/role from service management REST api (for example using
GetRole) how I could retrieve container/blob related info for it?
So I have credentials for service management REST API, I have OSVirtualHardDisk info, but I am not sure how to detect correctly to which storage account connect and than which container to use. Yes, I know that there is OSVirtualHardDisk .MediaLink property
which contains storage account name and container inside of it but I am not sure it is good practice to assume about it format. Alternatively I have another solution - just retrieve all storage accounts from Service management REST, then compare url
of each account with disk's MediaLink. And use appropriate storage account for further data retrieve. But seem to me it could retrieve too many info.
So generally I am trying to find correct way to join service management REST api and Storage Services REST API for disks

Hi,
From my experience, your first approach is correct. The media link exactly points to the location of the blob. With the link, you can access the blob if you have the storage account key. If you want to extract more information, such as what
the container is and what the blob is, you can parse the link.
>> From my point of view it is bad way to retrieve storage account name and container.

How to use search REST api to get custom managed property data for anonymous user?

I am trying build a public portal with anonymous access and i am trying to read some
content from custom managed property using search REST api in sharepoint 2013. I have tried to enable all possible attributes of the managed prop. Like searchable,queryable,safe etc. also i am including queryparametertemplate in my REST api search query. But
still i am not able to retrieve the managed prop. For an anonymous user. The same query returns the value if i am logged in.
Any Help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Rakesh
Thanks, Rakesh

Hi Rakesh,
To enable anonymous Search REST queries, we need to create queryparametertemplate.xml and upload it to the correct library in SharePoint.
From your description I can know that you have created the file, then I recommend to check the things below:
Please use “QueryTemplatePropertiesUrl” instead of “queryparametertemplate” in the Search REST API query as following: &QueryTemplatePropertiesUrl='spfile://webroot/queryparametertemplate.xml'.
Make sure that the Query Properties you need have been added to the QueryProperties element in the queryparametertemplate.xml file.
Make sure that the query parameters you need have been added to the WhiteList element in the
queryparametertemplate.xml file. For example, if you want to use Refiners in the REST API, then the Refiners should be added to the
WhiteList element in the queryparametertemplate.xml file as following:
<a:string>Refiners</a:string>.
You can also debug setting properties in anonymous Search Rest queries following the link below:
http://www.mavention.com/blog/debugging-setting-properties-anonymous-search-rest-queries

Mapping and querying Custom Objects for a Contact with REST Api

Hello All,
We are hoping to get some details on managing DataCard set through REST APIs. Our implementation goal is to create Contacts and add Custom object for each Contact, or to be precise, add a DataCard Set for each Contact.
At the moment, to associate a DataCard Set (or Custom Object) to an existing contact, we are supplying following custom object fields during creation of Custom Object:
new CustomObjectField
                                                                name = "MappedEntityType",
                                                                dataType = Enum.GetName(typeof(DataType), DataType.numeric),
                                                                type = "CustomObjectField",
                                                                defaultValue = "0"
                                                         new CustomObjectField
                                                                name = "MappedEntityID",
                                                                dataType = Enum.GetName(typeof(DataType), DataType.numeric),
                                                                type = "CustomObjectField",
                                                                defaultValue = "<ContactId>"
Is this the correct approach? This is Based on the information provided here: http://topliners.eloqua.com/community/code_it/blog/2012/05/31/eloqua-api-how-to-mapping-a-data-card-to-an-entity.
Would the REST API allow us to query the CustomObjects using the MappedEntityId value for later updates? If so, any pointers on how we approach that?
Thanks in ad.

Either the MappedEntityID field is not available or I do it wrong, Eloqua is ignoring the field and does not map the custom record with the unique Contact ID

Any Idea how to map this to a contact
Entity Type is Contacts
Entity Field is SFDC Contact ID

Which Objects should I target for integrating Eloqua REST API 2.0?

Which Objects should I target for integration? and What are the possible use cases for the additional objects other than core objects?

I am still trying to find a good REST API 2,0 document like the Bulk 2.0 document. Book List: Oracle Marketing Cloud
I did find this but is also not in depth:
REST API - Documentation for Core Objects

Are there REST APIs to retrieve entity metadata for eloqua objects?

There is a list of all the objects which can be accessed by REST for CRUD in this link: REST API - Documentation for Core Objects under the Core Objects section.
For each of the objects listed under the Core Objects section are there is a field metadata under the Properties section.
For example for Email object, REST API - Accessing Emails , under the Properties section, there corresponding entries for fields of Emails object under the
Name ,Type, Description and Validations headings.
Is there a REST API for retrieving the same information i.e. the field metadata for an eloqua object programmatically ?
If not , it is a serious hindrance to building systems that are metadata driven and also since SOAP support is being deprecated...

Metadata is 'top level' information on the object, and available whether you query the individual object (a single form, or email asset) or query for multiple objects of that type (list all forms, list all emails). Consider using a depth of minimal or partial for faster performance if the specific configuration of those objects is not important..
Example:
GET /assets/forms?depth=minimal&count=2
Returns:
"elements":
    "type":"Form",
    "currentStatus":"Draft",
    "id":"19",
    "createdAt":"1409623550",
    "createdBy":"8",
    "depth":"minimal",
    "folderId":"7",
    "name":"zzztestCS_3-9381543541_AutocompleteTest",
    "permissions":"fullControl",
    "updatedAt":"1409623623",
    "updatedBy":"8"
    "type":"Form",
    "currentStatus":"Draft",
    "id":"22",
    "createdAt":"1409781207",
    "createdBy":"11",
    "depth":"minimal",
    "folderId":"466",
    "name":"daisychain1",
    "permissions":"fullControl",
    "updatedAt":"1412779449",
    "updatedBy":"20"
"page":1,
"pageSize":2,
"total":130
Without limiting the count to 2, this would return up to 1000 results if you had multiple forms in your system and give you a basic top level view of each. Similarly, you can use GET /assets/form/{id}?depth=minimal to get the same sort of information.
Other endpoints can be found on the REST livedocs page here (requires authentication):

Enabling Profiling for deployments via the REST API

We have an application which is being deployed via the REST API. Our logging has captured some errors related to memory consumption that we'd like to examine using profiling. All the examples of profiling in Azure that I can find discuss deployment via Visual
Studio which is not feasible in this instance.
Is there a way to enable profiling via the REST API and if so are there any examples or documentation for this? We're using Linq2Azure to access the APIs but we can extend it if necessary.
Thanks
Colin

Hi,
Yes, we can choose enable profiling when we publish an application via visual studio, from my experience, this feature was provided by using the Visual Studio profiler, if we didn’t use visual studio to deploy the application, it is hard to enable profiling.
Refer to
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windowsazure/hh369930.aspx#BK_ProfilingCloudService for more information.
Best Regards
