I am trying to make a WordPress site that will use data from SmartSheet. I need to Authenticate(Authorization) to get into SmartSheet. SS uses an API Access token to get access. All of this works fine in postman. My question is: Are there plugins for this? Or should I be writing a plugin for this? Any good resources for this?
There is no official WordPress connector from Smartsheet.

Hello stackoverflow friends 🙂
I want to make a portal in wordpress with the Zabbix API. Can I do it in the WordPress platform itself or do I have to write the code elsewhere?
Is this possible?
Does anyone ever tried to do this kind of stuff?
Is there a plugin to call APIs?
I really need an answer to know if it is possible to do this type of things or if I need to look for another type of CMS’s.
Thanks and good work!
Yes it is possible to use that API in WordPress. You can create it as a plugin. Here's more details on how to create a plugin, from the official documentation : https://developer.wordpress.org/plugins/
To make the API calls, have a look at the HTTP API : https://developer.wordpress.org/plugins/http-api/
To do database interactions(like saving the data to your db or fetching it), have a look at the wpdb class : https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/classes/wpdb/
If you want to run cron jobs (scheduled tasks), please have a look at the WP-Cron: https://developer.wordpress.org/plugins/cron/
There are several built functions, hooks and classes in WordPress that will aid you. Just go through the developer documentation provided by WordPress.
I’m about to build an app that will look like a social network: people will be able to create accounts, like posts, save posts (But not create posts).
I’m searching the right platform to build my backend, I saw many options like Parse or Node.js but I did not see many people using WordPress as backend.
My question is why not use WordPress as my backend and develop custom plugins as I need? What is the pros and cons? Am I missing something that makes people not using WordPress?
Thanks
You can use the WordPress as the backend of your app as per your requirement, As WordPress allows wp-JSON API & WooCommerce API as well.
Also you can integrate the JWT Authentication for WP REST API plugin if you want to implement the JWT authentication
Also you can customize as per your requirement so i suggest to use the wordpress as backend of your app
There are a lot of people using Parse Server for building social networks and it is a great fit. Take a look at the following app template. It shows how to build an Instagram app.

I would like to fetch an URL that requires an authentication, like the admin page of Wordpress using Google Apps Script, UrlFetch (anything else is fine if its something in Apps Script.)
There seems to be solution if it is a basic auth though.
Is that possible for Wordpress?
For WordPress, you can install the WP REST API plugin and then use Basic Auth + UrlFetch to get your data into Apps Script. This, I think, is the ideal solution.
If you want it for anyother website, you should mention it in the question. In generak, yes, Basic Auth is the solution.
I have Have WP API and OAuth1 plugins installed for my python frontend to access posts in wordpress. With CLI wp oauth add I have generated secret and key also. But am stuck on how to proceed further. I can check api responses via chrome advanced REST client.
I get proper JSON responses from requests like GET http://mylocal.site/wp-json/posts
But I want to add authentication. Read numerous docs from api and oauth...but nowhere a proper work flow. Please shed some light who have worked with these already.
Thanks.
I got this working following the base https://github.com/WP-API/OAuth1
I've word-press blog installed on my Godaddy's Domain.
www.mysite.com/blog
I want to get the latest posts of my blog using C#/ASP.Net code, how can I do this?
WordPress provides an XML-RPC API that includes getPosts and similar function. You can find a couple of pre-built clients for it on NuGet; I haven't tried either to recommend them but from the GitHub readme the first one looks more complete:
POSSIBLE.WordPress.XmlRpcClient (NuGet)
WordPress XML-RPC Client for .NET (NuGet)
Also if you've got the Jetpack plugin installed on your site then that adds a JSON API. I can't recommend one sorry but again there'll be OAuth2 and REST API clients on NuGet.
Ok guys; basically i required my latest blogs post , so what i used
http://p3k.org/rss/
p3k.org/ takes the path of my blog feed and returns me latest post.
I simply embed in my project using the generated script . So i don't need to get info ASP.net code .
Cheers!
As per my view and research, you can access wordpress DB in asp.net c# by using MySqlConnection.
