I have been tasked to implement a JIRA SMS notification(using Twilio) similar to its in-built email notification. I know this can be easily done using Zapier and Twilio.
But i am told to look for a workaround with out using Zapier.
The only option i think of now is to create a WebApi project that calls Twilio to send the SMS, host the WebApi project on a server and pass this URL as a WEBHOOK in JIRA.
For this i have created a C# class library which calls Twilio.
class
and after that i have added a new WebApi project for this solution and added the above class project reference.
and i have added a new controller:
controller
i am just calling the send method from the constructor with out any parameters which i think will do the job just from hardcoded number to a given number(in the controller.
but what i need is to pass in messageBody and recipientPhoneNumber from the JIRA webhook to this controller. Not sure how to do this.
As i am very new to WebApi's could some one please help me with the code. much appreciated.

Mind dropping me a note at corey#twilio.com? I agree with the previous responses - this site may not be the best forum to support what you're looking for here, but I would be more than happy to directly help you out here.
but what i need is to pass in messageBody and recipientPhoneNumber from the JIRA >webhook to this controller. Not sure how to do this.
The way webhooks work is a little bit different than your assumption above. You cannot pass anything to JIRA webhook. JIRA POSTs data to the webhook (your API URL). Once you receive the data in your API controller action, you can construct a message body and recipient phone number (from e.g. user object passed in by JIRA; if that object doesn't have any phone number attribute, you might have to use a custom field).
As i am very new to WebApi's could some one please help me with the code. much appreciated.
No problem. I guess you have done the Twilio part alright already. Please visit MS docs to know more about Web API. You have to add a controller method so that it can be called by JIRA. So your final URL becomes this. You can then put this URL in JIRA as webhook. Replace hostname mycompany.com by your server hostname and change other url segments based on your situation.

We are running an App with a Angular/Typescript frontend and a .NET backend, using Stripe Elements and Stripe.NET respectively.
We are currently using the "Sources" API.
The frontend can create sources, the backend saves them to our specific users. When you open the frontend again, the backend sends a list of source ids. The frontend then collects the data it needs to display those sources directly from Stripe so the user can pick one of his saved sources to pay and does not have to enter all the data again.
Enter the Payment Method / Payment Intend API.
Due to EU regulations Stripe has a new API that requires us to create cards no longer as "source" but as a "PaymentMethod". So I implemented that in the backend, opened the frontend in my IDE, updated the #types/stripe-v3 package and found the new payment intent API.
The only thing missing: I cannot figure out how the frontend is to access the payment method data, once created. I can create it. Send it to the backend. The backend can retrieve it. Send back the ID to the frontend... and now what? How to display the payment methods available?
I had expected a stripe.retrievePaymentMethod() as there is a stripe.retrieveSource(). But no such luck.
The only option I currently see to present the user with a list of existing payment methods is getting this info on the backend and piping it all, class by class, property by property to the client. Basically copying every single data class stripe has into our own backend REST definition. That cannot be right.
What am I missing? Why is there no stripe.retrievePaymentMethod() on the frontend? Did I not understand some fundamental facts about what those APIs should do?
After contacting Stripe directly, it was confirmed that that's just the way it is:
I think it's just an oversight that we didn't add one.
There are similar functions in the mobile SDK so I don't see why we shouldn't have it
There are no immediate plans to add the functionality back in in the very near future,
so as a workaround, I will tunnel all the data through our backend(s).
If I understand as well, I think your problem is following and the sequence of that. I hope this helps you.
I have implemented a payment gateway like ccAvenue with DotNet and angular, in my case, I send the data to the server, and from the server, I tried to redirect to the payment gateway, but APIs return some result, and the result can not be redirected.
So I created a web-form with implementation, I redirected my app to web-forms page and from there I called the ccAvenue page, and in the response URL, I send the response page of webforms only and after saving the response I redirected to my angular app.
Here is workaround if you want to process 3Dsecure cards and still support other methods like SEPA.
You could attach both, confirmed PaymentIntent (payment method) or Source to the Customer object.
On your frontend you could implement both (StripeElements with client secret for 3Dsecure cards) and IBAN element for SEPA.
I could provide my code example how I save payment intent to the customer. It's in PHP, but for other languages logic should be the same.
Assuming that our client already confirmed PaymentIntent and we have it's id:
$intent = \Stripe\PaymentIntent::retrieve($stripe_intent_id);
$payment_method = \Stripe\PaymentMethod::retrieve($intent->payment_method);
$stripe_customer = Stripe\Customer::create([
'payment_method' => $intent->payment_method,
]);
In case you've already created Customer object before you could use attach method:
$payment_method->attach(['customer' => 'cus_FTkGe4lv5LfyI0']);
Then you'll be able to charge using Customer object PaymentMethod or Source;
I didn't try to attach both methods to the same customer object (we only allow customer to have one payment option at the same time), but it should work. Let me know if it works for you.
For some days now i have been struggling on a project where i need to provide a URL to enable me to receive a JSON response(precisely this my first time of calling a web API)
This is the scenario:
- First the company has a web service that i need to consume and send a bill prompt to our client and so far it has been successful
- Second , they ask me to implement a callback and give them the URL where they will call me to send the status of the bill whether our client has confirm the bill prompt or not(this is where i am stacked)
When i get the JSON data i can easily use it to do what i want but my problem is how to implement the web page that the company will call to send the status.
Please a sample code will help me a lot.Thanks
What you are trying to achieve is called WebAPI. You expose HTTP endpoints using Controllers to the Internet and consumers of your API may utilize them to POST the status back.
You are describing creating an API. Basically, you create an endpoint url using a controller in C#. It's within this controller that you receive data from "the company" and process it, and do whatever you need to do after that. If you use the standard MVC framework build into C#, it's fairly straight-forward. Here is an example of a callback url we are using in a three-legged OAuth procedure. The last step involves a third party sending a request to our callback url and posting some data. We are using a model as a parameter. But you can use simple structures (int, string, etc) as well. As log as the names of your params match the names that the third party sends in their query string or POST, the MVC framework will handle the variable assignment automatically. The serialization/deserialization is built in to the framework.
Here is a small example of how we have implemented a callback url in one of our apps:
public class MyAuthenticatedController : Controller
{
public ActionResult Index([FromUri]MyAuthenticatedModel model)
{
logTheResponse(model);
if (model == null)
{
throw new HttpException(401, "Auth Failed");
}
}
}
The third party would hit the url:
http://app.mydomain.com/myauthenticated
Using the GET method.
If you don't want to build an ASP.NET Web API Project, you can do this easily with an Azure Function.

I am currently following this tutorial to create a simple REST service using Web Api. Note this is my first time doing something like this and I am just trying to learn more.
http://www.asp.net/web-api/overview/creating-web-apis/creating-a-web-api-that-supports-crud-operations
I have followed all the instructions and have it successfully running on my localhost. I understand that in this tutorial the URI for all my GET requests look something like:
localhostapi/products/id
And I understand that, and how to perform simple GET requests in the URI and see it actually occuring using my developer tools in my browser.
Now my question is... How do I make POST/DELETE/PUT requests and actually see what they are doing? The guide wasn't too clear, do I pass in parameters into the URI? Does the URI change when I want anything but a GET request? This text here seems to explain it but I do not understand:
The method takes a parameter of type Product. In Web API, parameters with complex types are deserialized from the request body. Therefore, we expect the client to send a serialized representation of a product object, in either XML or JSON format.
It's quite easy to make POST, PUT, DELETE requests. You just need to install Fiddler at http://www.telerik.com/download/fiddler
Next, install and run it. Go to the Composer tab on the right hand side. Next, put your local host URL, and the request method, and other data like the screenshot below
You can write unit tests, like
[TestMethod]
public void GetAllProducts_ShouldReturnAllProducts()
{
var testProducts = GetTestProducts();
var controller = new SimpleProductController(testProducts);
var result = controller.GetAllProducts() as List<Product>;
Assert.AreEqual(testProducts.Count, result.Count);
}

You can set a breakpoint on your controller methods that handle the post/delete/put.
Same thing in your browser at the point where you call the post/delete/put (presumably in a jquery request)
You can also unit test your controller methods:

How do you use the Twilio sandbox mode with C#? I have a ashx.cs file that I am using to write my code. Would I put it there? If so, what does that look like?
There is no real great examples on their website on how to do this except for CURL and Ruby.
We are using TwiML to general an XML file tha t parses our data to send back and forth to the Twilio service. We don't want to be charged every time we send a test text message.
How would we set the Sandbox up so we could do some testing.
I found the Test auth Token and account Sid, but how do I use those?
We don't have them in our current application and we are specifying our .ashx page in Twilio to process our code.
Thanks in advance.
Twilio evangelist here.
So if you just want to test that your ASHX handler is generating the right results the easiest way to do this is to just fake a POST or a GET request to that handler. This lets you simulate the GET or POST request that Twilio will make to your app when it gets a text message.
You can see the parameters that Twilio will pass to your app when it receives a text message here:
http://www.twilio.com/docs/api/twiml/sms/twilio_request#synchronous
There are a whole bunch of ways to simulate these requests. cURL is one of them. If your ASHX is expecting query string values, you can also just load the ASHX directly in the browser and append those values in the URL. If the handler is expecting a POST request, I used a chrome plugin called Simple REST Client to make these.
Of course you can also Fiddler to make just about any HTTP request.
The Test Credentials really are more for simulating the use of the REST API (programatically sending SMS messages). I just wrote a blog post that shows how to use the test credentials to create integration tests:
http://www.twilio.com/blog/2013/05/automating-twilio-integration-tests-with-test-credentials.html
Hope that helps.

As of August 15, Amazon made it compulsory to sign all requests made to their Product Advertising API. I thought I had got everything working just fine but when the 15th finally came around, my web application stopped working and pretty much ever since I have been trying to find out how to sign the SOAP requests.
Amazon has an outdated sample code for signing requests that doesn't appear to work here
Basically, I need to know how to add a signature to the my requests using the most current C# SOAP API and .NET 3.5.
I hope I have given enough details, if I haven't please feel free to ask me to elaborate.
Thank You
The_Lorax
UPDATE:
I am using MVC and need to know how to add the Signature to the the ItemLookup or AWSECommerceService object. Is there an attribute that contains the signature value? How does it get attached to the request?
On this page, they say that I must include the Signature and TimeStamp parameters but the intellisense does now show any such attributes.
Check out http://flyingpies.wordpress.com/2009/08/01/17/. It has a walkthrough and a sample visual studio solution using C#, SOAP, WCF on .NET 3.5.
This library automatic sign the requests (Install-Package Nager.AmazonProductAdvertising)
https://www.nuget.org/packages/Nager.AmazonProductAdvertising/
Example:
var authentication = new AmazonAuthentication("accesskey", "secretkey");
var client = new AmazonProductAdvertisingClient(authentication, AmazonEndpoint.US);
var result = await client.SearchItemsAsync("canon eos");
