Live Redirect on YouTube - Is this accessable via any API? - youtube-livestreaming-api

I love the new "Live Redirect on YouTube" feature but I can't find it anywhere in any of the Youtube APIs. This is the official support for the YouTube Live Streaming API so I'm hoping one of you will be able to point me to where it is.
Bonus - there's a very similar feature I can't remember the official name of that lets you play a promo video just before a Broadcast, while people are waiting. If that's not in the same API, I'd love a pointer to it as well.
Thanks!

Is it not clear - Are WhatsApp API alive? Can I use it?

I don't understand using google if WhatsApp API are alive, and how to use it. No documentation, no links, no tutorials. Only articles about "WhatsAPP API won't be public".
What's the truth?
Straight answer to your question is, there is no publicly available WhatsApp API. It is because WhatsApp Inc does not offer its propriety instant messenger as open-source.
But if you are really interested you can check Yowsup library or'WhatsApp-purple' and another reverse engineered library available in GIT
Hope its helpful for you

Spotify Web API to control playback on connect devices

Is there any way to use an API to control playback on my registered spotify connect devices? I'm not trying to create or add a new connect devices but control playback to them.
Is there any official or reverse engineering discussion on how to do this?
As far as I can tell, there is no way to do this currently.
That said, it's also unclear if or when this feature will be added. Spotify hasn't updated its api code in months. It also appears that the login functionality is broken on my app too. Spotify doesn't seem to be easy to work with.

Simplest way for getting my own playlists from Spotify API?

What I want to accomplish:
Display all my Spotify playlist on my website and let my visitors play the songs.
From what I've understood, I need to use the Spotify Web API to accomplish that, so I registered an app and received a Client Id and a Client Secret.
All the examples I've seen on https://developer.spotify.com/web-api/code-examples/ are pretty advanced for a newbie like myself and they all seem to require stuff like node.js or Composer etc. which I can't install since I'm on a shared hosting service.
What's the easiest way to show my playlists on my website?
Thanks!
Ensure all your playlists are publicly available (users other than you can't read your private playlists) and call the following endpoint — everything you need to know is documented:

How Internet Download Manager grabs URL of online videos

I'm developing a software which streams videos from vimeo. But, I don't know how to fetch it's direct URL.
Suppose the URL of vimeo video is: http://vimeo.com/78848064
But, IDM captures the direct URL of it as, http://pdl.vimeocdn.com/82070/105/203391355.mp4?token2=1387027682_29600487ac61980514ca8d3d014ea6a4&aksessionid=561c553c97d5676a
So, how is this possible ?
I think there is one similar software that you might be interested to look into. Internet Video Manager. http://www.ivmindia.com
It uses a python back-end program (included in the same folder, named as dl.exe) to extract direct link to youtube, vimeo videos.
Pro accounts have access to their own video files using the new (in beta) API3. If you would like access you can request it at vimeo.com/help/contact.

Making a Youtbe video exclusive on my website

I have a Youtube video set to private so nobody can watch it via Youtube or the embedded player. However I do want people be to be able to watch it on my website. The goal is to make the video available exclusively on my website for a while before I open it to the world. I was thinking to login to my Youtube account seemlessly using Youtube's API and log out after the video's finished but that doesn't make security sense. What's your take on that?
I agree with your intuition. Making the private sharing secure seems tricky at best. Although the Data API has procedural authentication options, I don't think Player API has that facility. Furthermore even if it did, it's hard to see how it might work without exposing your password.
Your best bet is probably to directly host the video on your website. You would use your website's authentication for restricting access limited release video. Then when your ready for the public release you can either switch to YouTube hosting or relax the authentication of your self hosting. The Video for Everybody site has examples of several options for self hosting of videos.
