The document provides an overview of the Kidozen enterprise mobile backend-as-a-service (MBaaS) platform, detailing its APIs that enable various functionalities for mobile applications, including backend management and integration with existing systems. It includes code samples for authentication, push notifications, and data querying, highlighting the strategic importance of APIs in enterprise mobile solutions. The conclusion emphasizes the necessity for enterprises to select their APIs wisely and the role of MBaaS in offering these capabilities.

3. Agenda
■ APIs in Enterprise Mobile Solutions
■ Samples and Code
■ Summary

4. What’s the main element that
powers the Backend of Mobile Apps?

5. Mobile Backend APIs
■ Infrastructure APIs
■ Mobile APIs
■ Enterprise APIs
■ Data APIs
■ Line of Business APIs

6. Infrastructure APIs
■ Security
■ Storage
■ Configuration
■ Logging
■ PubSub
■ Etc…

8. Sample: Authentication
var app = new KidoZen.KZApplication("https://armonia.kidocloud.com", "vacations");
if (active) {
//get the username & password from a login screen.
//get provider from auth configuration
app.Authenticate(username, password, provider).Result;
} else {
app.Authenticate().Result;
}
if (!app.Authenticated) {
//... retry authentication
}

9. Mobile APIs
■ Push Notifications
■ App Crash
■ Analytics

11. Sample: Push Notifications
public override void RegisteredForRemoteNotifications (UIApplication application,
NSData deviceToken)
{
var channel = "sports";
kzApplication.Notification.Subscribe(channel, deviceToken);
}

12. Sample: Push Notifications
public override void RegisteredForRemoteNotifications (UIApplication application,
NSData deviceToken)
{
var channel = "sports";
kzApplication.Notification.Subscribe(channel, deviceToken);
}

13. Enterprise APIs
■ SAP
■ Sharepoint
■ DBs
■ REST / SOAP
■ etc…

16. Sample: Invoke Service Operation
var app = new KZApplication("https://armonia.kidocloud.com", "vacations");
//... authenticate here...
var data = new { "resource":"CalendarListItems","top":"1"};
var getResult = app.Service["tellagosharepoint"].Invoke("query", data).Result;

17. Data APIs
■ Data Sources
■ Content Sources / CMS
■ Visualization

20. Sample: Query Data Source
var app = new KZApplication("https://armonia.kidocloud.com", "vacations");
//... authenticate here ...
var ds = app.DataSource["getTeamsVacations"];
var data = new { "qty":1} ;
var getResult = ds.Query(data).Result;

21. Sample: Query Data Source
var app = new KZApplication("https://armonia.kidocloud.com", "vacations");
//... authenticate here ...
var ds = app.DataSource["getTeamsVacations"];
var data = new { "qty":1} ;
var getResult = ds.Query(data).Result;

22. Sample: Query Data Source
var app = new KZApplication("https://armonia.kidocloud.com", "vacations");
//... authenticate here ...
var getResult = app.DataSource[“getTeamsVacations”].Query(new {“qty”: 1 });

23. Line of Business APIs
■ Server-side Code
■ REST / SOAP

24. Sample: Server-side Code
/**
* Custom connectors are built with javascript.
*/
function MyMathConnector() {
/**
* Operations need to accept two parameters,
* an ‘opts’ object with the params, and a
* ‘cb’ with a callback function.
*/
this.sum = function (opts, cb) {
return cb(null, opts.a + opts.b);
};
}

25. Sample: Server-side Code
/**
* Custom connectors are built with javascript.
*/
function MyMathConnector() {
/**
* Operations need to accept two parameters,
* an ‘opts’ object with the params, and a
* ‘cb’ with a callback function.
*/
this.sum = function (opts, cb) {
return cb(null, opts.a + opts.b);
};
}

26. Sample: Invoke Server-side Code
var app = new KZApplication("https://armonia.kidocloud.com", "vacations");
//... authenticate here...
var data = new { “a": 2,”b": 2};
var getResult = app.Service[“my-custom"].Invoke("sum", data).Result;

27. Summary
■ We need a lot of APIs
■ Enterprise choose their APIs strategically
■ mBaaS should provide these APIs

28. Thanks!
