I have worked on a React-Native application that uses DjangoREST apis to use the database. Basically the backend is on Django.
Now I have designed a Laravel web-app for the same organization. Can I call those same APIs so that I can use the same database
Yes. You don't have to care about stack of API when calling HTTP API. I recommend you have a deeper understanding of Web communications.

I'm currently building an API in Rails to control devices registered with an Azure IoT Hub.
Now, in the Azure documentation, I only see Python/Node/.Net guides to control the end devices.
I require Rails for certain libraries, and hence used it to build my API. But now I've hit this road block.
Is there no way I can send cloud-to-device messages? I don't see any official Rails support. I only require c2d messaging.
Edit : The only other way I can think of with my limited knowledge is to deploy a small Python/Flask app on the same server and have my Rails code make HTTP requests to it. Is this a bad approach?
I do recommend to use the Azure HttpTrigger Function for your solutions as an API integrator/mediator.
I am creating a mobile app, I want to access a web server that is implemented in Python Django. I found that there is Retrofit in android to communicate with a web server. My question is that whether I have to write Client REST API and Server REST API both.
As I am considering that I will write REST API using Retrofit (Client REST API).
And then write a REST API for my server in python Django (Server API).
I am really confused about what will be the way to communicate with my server that is developed in python Django. And up to what limit I have control on server i.e how much an android app can control(create a database in web server, perform CRUD operations)
Thanks!
Actually, it is quite simply, independent of the language of your server, basically if your server can respond with a json, you can use Retrofit2 and POST, GET, UPDATE, DELETE, etc...
Can anyone suggest best protocol to be used for Web Services (SOAP or REST) for Python for real time data and historical data fetching.
Please suggest the libraries available if any.
REST protocol should be used.
For Django based application use Django rest framework package
For Flask based application use Flask restful package
I need to create a REST server of a python module/API of a BCI, so that the application can be accessed on my Drupal website. Will I need to create and host the REST server on a python-based website or CMS, so that it can be accessed by my Drupal website, or is the api and rest server uploaded and hosted directly on my web hosting server? If so, what is the simplest python CMS that for creating a REST server for a python module/API already available?
The beauty of REST is precisely that it doesn't matter where your API is, as long as its accessible from your Drupal server, or from the client if you have a javascript API client.
If it's a simple application and you have admin access to your Drupal server, there's nothing preventing you from hosting the Python webservice side-by-side. They may even share the same HTTP Server, like Apache or Nginx, although depending on your demands on each one it might be better to keep them separate.
If you're new to Python, the Flask framework is a decent option to write a simple REST-like API interfacing with a Python module.
About to embark on a Java project using Spring Security to create a Restful Web Service (JSON) that will use Kerberos authentication to authenticate users in Active Directory.
I'm not locked into using Java and am considering the use of Python to gain new skills and look at potential alternative platforms.
So far I have looked at Twisted and Web2Py but they don't seem to have support for Kerberos nor could I find information around implementing Kerberos support.
Does anyone know of frameworks supporting the above deployment or pointers to get me started?
Python Eve is a restful api written in Python that uses mongo as its backend.
It provides a simple class that you can use to implement your own authentication which would allow you to use the python kerberos module
I use this setup but with ldap instead of kerb.
The underlying web framwork behind eve is Flask.
