Cloud Translation Basic (v2) request with curl - Make a Translation API request

Make a Translation API Request using a REST method call to the v2 translate method.

Use curl to make a request to the https://translation.googleapis.com/language/translate/v2 endpoint.

The curl command includes JSON with the text to be translated (q), the language to translate from (source), and the language to translate to (target).

The source and target languages are identified using the ISO-639-1 codes. The source language is English (en) and the target language is Spanish (es). The format of the query is noted as "text" for plain text.

The sample curl command uses the gcloud auth application-default print-access-token command to get an authentication token.

APIs for Selling Inventory on eBay  Retail-Standard Selling (Sell API) Traditional eBay Selling (Trading API)

eBay’s selling APIs enable retailers and third party developers (acting on behalf of retailers) to manage all aspects of their eBay business by programmatically integrating with eBay’s selling infrastructure. These include end-to-end capabilities for:

Post-order process management (returns, refunds, cancellations)
Marketing campaign management
Performance reports
eBay metadata (site, category, catalog)
Managing communication with buyers and eBay
eBay provides a range of integration options based on retailer needs. In 2016, we introduced a new suite of retail-standard Sell APIs, providing a major advancement from our Trading APIs (designed over 10 years ago). While we will continue to support Trading APIs for existing integrations, all new integrations must choose between the new and traditional models for core selling capabilities.

How to integrate Salesforce with Ruby on Rails ROR

Salesforce integration with Ruby on Rails ROR is popular topics. Both Salesforce and Ruby on Rails ROR are popular in US and the world.

First, need to create connected app in Salesforce. To create Connected Apps in Salesforce:

1. Login Salesforce as administrator.
2. Drop-down list of the account (upper-right), select Setup. 
3. Left-hand pane, App Setup > Create >Apps.
4. Connected Apps panel, click "New".
5. Fill in basic info: App Name - demo REST, API name. REST_Demo and contact email

Test and run production with API integration by using POSTMAN

Send Requests and View Responses
Create and execute any REST, SOAP, and GraphQL queries from within Postman.

Define complex requests
Send any type of request in Postman. Create and save custom methods and send requests with the following body types:

URL-encoded—The default content type for sending simple text data
multipart/form-data—For sending large quantities of binary data or text containing non-ASCII characters
Raw body editing—For sending data without any encoding
Binary data—For sending image, audio, video, or text files
Get up and running in seconds
Instead of creating calls manually to send over the command line, all you need is a Postman Collection. Import a collection directly or generate one with one click from:

An API schema in the RAML, WADL, OpenAPI, or GraphQL format
A data file containing the cURL commands
Inspect Responses
View the status code, response time, and response size. Postman's automatic language detection, link and syntax highlighting, search, and text formatting make it easy to inspect the response body.
