When you send a request to an API and it gets processed the API might want to notify you app about the status of the request. In order for your application to handle this callback you would have to set up an endpoint to listen for the notification and then send the url of that endpoint to the API. For example Twilio, one of the most popular public APIs,
Before streaming APIs, if you wanted to know if there were any updates on a specific event you had to query the API periodically and check if updates indeed occurred. Most likely, many of these queries would probably return no results as no new event happened but still resources were consumed in the process including the API call and parsing the response. Now, what if you want to get notified not only of 1 event but 10,
In this blog post I will show how to extend Mule in a simple way using the recently released Mule DevKit. The goal of the Mule DevKit is to accelerate the development of Mule extensions by abstracting you from Mule specific stuff so that you just focus on what your are trying to build.
My idea here is to create a simple Cloud Connector to interact with Google Maps API but the concepts covered here can be used in other scenarios as well.
If you reached this blog and you are not a Mule user (yet) keep reading, I will not cover anything Mule specific. If you are new to OAuth or want to get an introduction to its concepts this post is the right one!
Authentication is vital in any kind of system but it is even more relevant when it comes to the web. As the web grows,
This section of our blog is about showcasing current and upcoming cloud connectors. Cloud Connectors are Mule modules that allow easy connectivity to cloud APIs such as Twiiter, Facebook, and the thousands of Software as a Service platform out there on the net.
This week we are presenting a new Cloud Connector for Attlasian Jira,
More and more companies are using geocoding at some point in their business processes. Geocoding can help companies take smarter decisions by offering customers location-specific services and more. The fact is, geocoding is becoming a go-to resource for those with high hopes of increasing revenue, reducing expenses, and driving up customer loyalty and satisfaction. This is where an API like GeoNames comes into play.
This post is all about developing Cloud Connectors and deploying apps to Mule iON, but rather than just using words I created a screencast that demonstrates how to use Cloud connectors and Mule Flow to build applications that can be run on Mule or Mule iON.
Cloud Connectors provide simple and reusable integration with Social Media APIs (like Facebook and Twitter) and Cloud platforms (for example Amazon Web Services).
I’m pleased to announce the release of a new Cloud Connector for Twilio. If you don’t know what Twilio is, you should definitely check it out!
Let me give you a brief introduction to Twilio. In short, Twilio provides a cloud API for voice and SMS communications that leverages existing web development skills, resources, and skills. Twilio offers a pay as you go,
