Anyone knows how to connect an IBM Watson chatbot to a website? I am using bluemix. I already have a watson conversation and I want to integrate it to my wordpress website. I'm not understanding where to include the configurations.
Watson Conversation is just a REST API endpoint. Youll need some widget that calls the service as outlined here:
https://www.ibm.com/watson/developercloud/conversation/api/v1/#create_workspace
We have some sample chat widgets you could potentially embed as an iframe or something if you want.

There is a Watson Conversation WordPress plugin that you can use to deploy your chatbot to a Wordpress site.
The plugin is called “Watson conversation.”
You can find the configurations steps here: https://courses.cognitiveclass.ai/courses/course-v1:CognitiveClass+CB0103EN+v1/courseware/c6143d9ff5764057a91e53fa8a3a6dff/2b860fc913a745e29dce92bf72d15faf/
The Watson Conversation plugin can be installed both on self-hosted WordPress installations and hosted WordPress (on WordPress.com). WordPress.com charges a fee to allow us to install custom plugins.
Well, you could use a simple method (Simple, but paid) and use chatlio.
This way you can just install the plugin to your wordpress.
IBM makes available too the web application, but it's in javascript.
Watson provides a web chat plugin which can be embedded to the website
Visit

to get the script code and paste the code as close to the closing tag as possible.
Another way is to integrate with Kommunicate. Go to Bot integration section, select IBM Watson, enter your Watson API key. Then copy the script from Settings -> Install to your website code before the closing tag.

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 am working on a website that needs data from "wunderground" therefore they have issued me with an API Key, i needed to know how i integrate the API key into the existing word press site. That the main problem i am facing, or are there existing plugins to assist with this?
Thanks
There is a plugin available:
https://wordpress.org/plugins/wunderground/faq/
From the plugin page:
Do I need a Wunderground account?
Weather Underground has been very
gracious and has provided the plugin with free data - you don't need
your own account. If you want to use Wunderground data in your own
application, register for a Weather Underground API account.
I saw in wordpress some APIs being published for developers. What could a developer gain by using those APIs?
I think you've taken API to mean something similar to what Flickr and Vimeo do, which they are not. They are simply ways for you to access and ammend core functionality of the Wordpress platform, so as to bend it to do what ever it is you need it to do.
There are ways to pull data from your blog to a mobile devise, but that is a very different question.
Wordpress API are for those that want to develop a theme, or writing custom plugins for Wordpress.
Either way, you can use to integrate Wordpress in your exisiting php site, using the powerful backend as an administration tool and the using the API to retrieve the content and present it in your (already) website.
