How to integrate your own Web Service?

[Aaron_S_2]

I am wanting to pull data from a web service, but the documentation on connecting to one that has been previously made. The documentation provided at https://software.intel.com/en-us/xdk/docs/using-web-services seems poor.

Hello,

Trying using this video as a reference https://software.intel.com/en-us/videos/integrating-a-new-service. It might work for you.

Or this:

https://software.intel.com/en-us/videos/oauth-2-and-services. It uses Foursquare as an example. 

Here's the link to the whole app designer video tutorials list: https://software.intel.com/en-us/xdk/videos/intel-xdk-app-designer

Hi Aaron,

 Can you tell why that documentation does not work for you? It will help us to improve.

Thanks

Dear Amrita C.,

I have tried to follow the video which shows how to integrate own web service. (ESPN now as example)

I can create the all the three files needed but I cannot see the "Services" tab as shown in the video. 

There is no such "Refresh" button either.

I am wondering if my XDK version 2727 is different or I miss something to set up.

Thanks!

The Services tab was moved into the Develop tab.  It's in the lower left corner. When you work with that corner, it'll open up larger

Hi,

I tried following it, but my custom web service is not getting listed there. No error, nothing. Just these 3 files got created:

apiconfig.json, myservice.json, myservice.js

Don't know how to proceed with that.

Also, are there any internal resources to contact with you. I am unable to search any groups in internal blogs.

PS: ESPN API is no longer available so, I am using our Team's web services.

Thanks.

Sorry,

Issue resolved now.

I was searching the service by the name I created. Instead, it was taking name defined in appconfig.json.

Thanks.
