Hi
Is it possible to get data from ahref, semrush and majestic using the server, app connect suite?

here is an example from majestics api

XML:
developer.majestic.com/api/xml?app_api_key=API_KEY&cmd=GetIndexItemInfo&items=1&item0=http://www.majestic.com&datasource=fresh

JSON:
developer.majestic.com/api/json?app_api_key=API_KEY&cmd=GetIndexItemInfo&items=1&item0=http://www.majestic.com&datasource=fresh

I would like to get data from these apis using your tools.

1) is it possible
2) how is this done?

Thanks

Hi Matthew,
Unfortunately it is not possible to read external JSON data sources for now, but soon there will be an addon for app connect which will allow this.

Thanks

Hey Guys
Just following up on this question.
Have the ability to read external json api's been integrated yet?

Hello Matthew,
No, this features has not yet been integrated in the extension.

Hi Teodor,

How about an API that's PHP based, but designed to return JSON data?

Basically the API works like this: (The following PHP links are fake, but the methods are real)

The first screen of the app will be the login screen (with email address and password input fields, and a sign in button)

• Request - ms1: example.dev.com/mobile-app/folder/web-service/mobile-api.php?method=ms1&email=
• Response: [0," "]
• Request - ms2: example.dev.com/mobile-app/folder/web-service/mobile-api.php?method=ms2&email= &password=fake-password
• Response: [0,"Token…"]

The second response should be a unique auth token that can be used to access JSON data, such as “method=card-list&token=”, which is called just after login and returns a list of cards for the next screen.

With that card list data (and for each user), there is a secondary security token provided by the API. Here is an example of one of the card list users returned JSON data:

{
        "card_secure_ssl": "d1VwQkdMRjB3aXhtM0F3Q0kvMi9TR0tPWlBYRDJ5WUgxckQyTlFMdUtTRT0=",
        "card_last_4": "1241",
        "cardholder": "DEPARTMENT, IT",
        "period_avail": "1000.00",
        "card_status": "B"
    },

These would be used to dynamically populate a list of cardholders on the page, and each cardholder instance would then link out to another page that dynamically pulls in the specific cardholder’s data. So on and so forth…

There are only 10 methods used by the API. The API is undocumented, meaning there is no API spec file, but it works perfectly.

Does anyone have any insights how I might setup the API to work like this on a mobile app project using Visual App Designer for Framework7, and other DMXzone Dreamweaver extensions? I have a monthly subscription, so I should be good on whichever ones I need to be using.

Thanks.
