How to safely use a REST API? - wordpress

I am not a native speaker and can't think of a better title for this question. Feel free to edit it or suggest a better one.
I am trying to use woocommerce's REST API to update an order status. Currently, when an order is paid via direct bank transfer, a google sheet will be updated with the order ID and amount. I am trying to capture the order ID and update the corresponding order using the API. The simplest way I can think of is to execute something like myurl.com/myPHP.php?order_id=xxx when a new row is added to the google sheet. But the problem is, anyone can execute this php file and update the order status accidentally or maliciously. How to avoid this? What is the proper way to use the REST API to update order status?

WooCommerce has its REST API endpoints. The endpoint responsible for updating an order's data is protected: you can not use it if you are not authenticated.
There are a few built-in auth methods in WooCommerce REST API; you can learn more about them in the API reference:
https://woocommerce.github.io/woocommerce-rest-api-docs/#authentication
In other words, if you won't provide the API credentials to users that may possibly abuse your API, you'll be fine.

How do I make certain endpoints of the woocommerce rest api authless?

The Woocommerce rest API requires authentication through a consumer key and a consumer secret to access any of its endpoints. I'm currently building a store frontend using Nuxt js and Vue and I really want to use the Woocoomerce API as a backend restful API to power my store - (get products, categories and the like).
Unfortunately I can't simply pass the consumer key and secret through my frontend to access woocommerce as it will give the frontend client full control over woocommerce so anyone who opens devtools and checks the secret and key can call wocommerce on sensitive endpoints I didn't intend it for.
There is a plugin called Public Woo API solves some of this problem but doesn't work for all endpoint I need (most expecially order). The only obvious solution I can think of is a way to remove authentication for some endpoints.
How do I even do that? I don't even know where to begin. Thanks.

Add user on UrBackup server after order on Woocommerce site

I have wordpress site with woocommerce shop and I’m selling among others UrBackup client accounts on my server.
Do you have any idea how to automatically add UrBackup user after order in woocommerce?
Or maybe easier will be create shop based on different engine?
Any advice, tips? :)
After poking around a bit, it looks like UrBackup has an API you can use, that most likely has a 'create account' endpoint. I didn't see it immediately in their not-so-great documentation, but you'd think it'd HAVE to be there somewhere! There's also a PHP API kit you could integrate into your WordPress site here:
https://bitbucket.org/opensaucesystemsdevelopment/urbackup-api.git
So, you could load in this class, and after a WooCommerce order is placed, call the API endpoint to create a user. To do this with WooCommerce, you'd need to create a function on the "woocommerce_order_status_completed" hook.
http://hookr.io/actions/woocommerce_order_status_completed/
This would let you run any custom code you'd like after an order's payment has completed. Thus, you could check an order for if it contains the UrBackup product, and if so call the UrBackup API to create an account based on the current user's data.
Should work!

How to fetch data of My own Google Analytics Account using Service account keys?

I need to get all My Analytics data in My Front-end . It's need to Be Handle All in Front-end using JavaScript ..
For Python & PHP Library is Available But I want to handle All in Front-end As It's Admin Side of Our App & want some fast Processing..
Any Suggestion or Example How Can I achieve that using JavaScript.
For starters you cant get ALL of your Google Analytics data. The api limits the number of dimensions and metrics you can request at a time. There is no primary key so once you select out that data there will be no way to match that data with a second request.
You can use a service account to extract the data using PHP or python and then display it using JavaScript. I am sure someone has gotten a service account working with JavaScript but for security reasons this is not something I would personally attempt.
Yes Finally Got the Solution :
As you Need TO user Your Service Account Key (.Json File) And Need To use Google Analytics Embedded API . & you can use Any chart Library in THis..

Generating a Google Hanghouts meeting URL

I'd like my website to be able to programmatically generate Hangouts URLs that can be forwarded to specific users in order for them to join the same meeting.
To my understanding, this would be possible by scheduling an event via Google Calendar. Is there a way to do the same without relying on Google Calendar, meaning via an API call or something similar?
You can now quickly create a new meeting by going to
http://meet.google.com/new
This makes for an excellent bookmark!
Meeting URLs can be generated with no API calls. Try:
g.co/hangout/yourdomain.com/letshangout
However, guests who aren't part of your domain won't be able to join until a domain member joins and changed to hangout privacy to anyone with the link.

Does LinkedIn Rest API support Groups?

I have managed to successfully post profile status updates and company status updates, but is it possible to use their API to send group updates?
I've seen some references to their Partner Program and I suspect that I might need to join that in order to unlock more of their API, however, this is currently unclear.
You are correct. Access to Group posting API calls requires a partnership to help reduce abuse of the API.
You can apply for partnership with LinkedIn here: https://developer.linkedin.com/partner-programs/apply
