Our small company has a already existing Restful Service, where we have all of our products on our own bespoke fulfilment system.
We have looked at Wordpress to start developing our sites in and we have developed a page to consume our Webservice and display a product with a particular promotion, and also bring back prices.
However, could you integrate WooCommerce (or perhaps another eCommerce package) which can consume our webservice? Thus, we would not populate WooCommerce with our products, they will pull it from our Webservice. Also enabling users to login/renew via a Webservice call also?
If anyone could give any tips/advice I'd be grateful. I know this is possible through general Webservice development - however I wanted to know if this is achievable through an prebuilt eCommerce package.
Many Thanks

I need a WordPress plugin that can do comparison of different services, like the one on http://www.whoishostingthis.com/compare/
This is something that you will most likely have to program yourself. Mainly because there wont be many plugins that will go out to service provider websties, scrap the data, then aggregate it properly to compare on the field related to you.
In the sense of programming this you would want to do the following steps.
Determine what service providers you want to scrape
Scrape said providers for their prices (do it on a throttled basis or you will most likely get blocked by the providers website).
Aggregate the data and store it in a data store
Display the provider services while showing your comparison.
If you do not want to program this plugin yourself you can do a hybrid approach which requires a lot of manual intervention.
This site shows many "compare products" plugins that will allow you to compare 2 products in an ecommerce setting. If you use one of these plugins along with a wordpress ecommerce plugin you could manually enter each service provider as a "product" then display the product comparison.

I would like to build Single Page Web Application (SPA) with React.js.
Application would need some Content Management System for back-end. I was thinking to use WordPress and their REST-API's but I don't know how to retrieve data from my wordpress installation.
Back-end and front-end would be in different domains so just building WP theme with React.js wouldn't work.
Basically, I don't know how to call and populate data from wordpress to my front-end.
I would need someone to point me to the right direction. And, maybe recommend easier CMS to use in this task.
Actually it is very easy to access your WordPress website data through HTTP REST API
Here you have the full documentation on WordPress REST APi

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:

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 intend to use WP to setup a freelancers website (similar to oDesk) to connect service providers with service seekers in a WEB 2.0 dynamic environment. This site requires multiple forms to enter and retrieve information using database and show them in filtered or non-filtered views in separate pages.
Please advise if there are available plugins to expedite developing this site, or otherwise any guidance would be appreciated. I specifically would like to know how to connect forms to database and then how to retrieve this information from the DB.
Regards,
You are likely going to have to create your own custom WordPress theme, using various custom PHP pages to connect your web forms to your database. I think your project is well beyond the scope of a simple WP plugin.
If this was my project, I'd ditch WordPress and go for something custom built in Rails. WordPress is a good enough CMS, but it isn't really a good fit for what you are looking to accomplish.
I have built an asp.net application from which I would like to post blog entries to wordpress, using the wordpress API. Thus far I have been unable to find any good tutorials or walkthroughs to do so. How might I use the wordpress API to upload blog content via an asp.net application?
I know that you should use the xml-rpc (probably need to enable on your server under administration area). xml-rpc. However, actual implementation details I am not positive on. Hopefully this gives you a start.
