Is there some good Python sample code for accessing the Xero API that does not use Flask? I do not want a web-based application.
I am aware of the Xero Python repository; their sample apps use Flask. Thanks.

I am learning Cloudinary. It can be integrated with any backend or frontend application using its rich SDK. But it can also be workable with its APIs like https://api.cloudinary.com/v1_1/:cloud_name/:action
with necessary HTTP methods, by directly using the rest API in place of its SDK methods.
But which one is better and why? Any answer is appreciable.
I have created instance in Azure API management service and want to import 200+ APIs. Is there any way to automatically import the APIs in portal by writing script or any other way also want to create a product and group the imported APIs?
You can automate deployment of API's by using Azure APIM REST API. You will find everything there. Basically whatever you do in Azure Portal on APIM resource by clicking you can do by calling this REST API.
If you don't feel like calling REST API, you can always use Az.ApiManagement PowerShell Module or az apim Azure CLI - they have more or less the same functionality.
I guess that is it, the question is too broad to give you more specifics.
I am trying to integrate the bitcoin API into my application. I am already using ripple API ( those are very simple and well documented ).
But now i want to integrate bitcoin API and i am very confuse where to start.
As per official bitcoin docs, install a bitcoin application and that application will download all transactions from very starting from 2009 and data size will be around 205GB. it too much.
I want to integrate without any third party api help. is there any api address of bitcoin just like ripple where i can hit request and get result.
Bitcoin.org provides well documented references regarding API calls.
I am working with google cloud platform. Learning and trying out a few things like Bigquery and Google Cloud Storage.
I find it confusing that there are two official APIs for all those things: gcloud API and Google API Python Client. In google cloud's "getting started" tutorial, the recommended API is Google API (Python) Client and it seems that the documentation for gcloud api is not very detailed.
In short, to access Google Cloud Platform programmatically,
which api library is better?
Where can I find nice documentation for that?
My answer
I would recommend gcloud API, this choice also applies to other languages: nodejs, ruby.... And then
Explanations
It is confusing, that Google have these two APIs have overlapping functionalities. And it is more confusing that they use Google API Client in their tutorial, while gcloud seems to be a more Google Cloud SDK specific package.
Here is what I found out: on the page of the gcloud API page, there is this FAQ section saying:
The Google APIs Python Client is a client library for using the broad set of Google APIs. gcloud-python is built specifically for the Google Cloud Platform and is the recommended way to integrate Google Cloud APIs into your Python applications. If your application requires both Google Cloud Platform and other Google APIs, the 2 libraries may be used by your application.
Addtionally, the gcloud api is part of the Google Cloud SDK. So it is standard.
Both the gcloud command-line tool and gcloud-python package are a part of the Google Cloud SDK: a collection of tools and libraries that enable you to easily create and manage resources on the Google Cloud Platform. The gcloud command-line tool can be used to manage both your development workflow and your Google Cloud Platform resources while the gcloud-python package is the Google Cloud Client Library for Python.
Based on my experience of using the python and nodejs api, the gcloud api is much more easier to use than the google api client. Here is another question for your reference:
When accessing Bigquery using Python API, what is the difference of using google client API and gcloud
So obviously, for a project working around Google Cloud Platform, using the gcloud API is an better choice.
Documentation
What about the documentation?
The documentation seems not very helpful(especially for rookie programmer like me) if you look at a page like this:
https://googlecloudplatform.github.io/gcloud-python/#/docs/master/gcloud/storage/blob/blob
I found two ways to get more detailed instructions: look for the doc for stable version or go to the github page. For instance:
https://googlecloudplatform.github.io/gcloud-python/stable/storage-blobs.html
https://github.com/GoogleCloudPlatform/gcloud-python
This is the result of the little research I did on it. I am still curious why Google mention gcloud library so little in its tutorials. Anyway, I hope this will help people to get an idea of which library to use, and save some time researching on it.
Does yodlee provide packages like com.yodlee.soap.core.* used in JAVA Sample SampleApp for REST or we will have to create our implementation for REST?
Yodlee doesn't provide any such package for REST. You will have to create your own implementation.
