Why does Best Buy API not return results for some items? - api

I've been struggling with this for a bit so I was hoping someone here might be able to help. I am using the Best Buy api for my website. I have a developer account, api key, and I believe my account has been approved (the banner at the top saying it's waiting for approval is no longer present). The api works great for many products and I'm able to use it as it is intended. The exception however is that for certain skus I get no results. Here is an example: https://www.bestbuy.com/site/pokemon-pokemon-tcg-celebrations-ultra-premium-collection/6473336.p?skuId=6473336. The PS5 is another example. I don't believe it's anything I'm doing since the requests I'm making for other products work fine. I've tried contacting Best Buy's support through the developer portal and haven't been able to reach anyone (it's been 3+ months). Does anyone have any suggestions on what could be going on? Has anyone had any luck with contacting Best Buy regarding issues with the API? Any other solutions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

How can I make a new order/transaction done through the API show on the Square app

Online I allow customers to order, this causes an Order With Line Items to be uploaded and associated with a Transaction - that works great, exactly as I had hoped. The problem is that there is no notification on the Square App to let my operators know that there is a new order that has been paid.
As of right now, I have the workaround of texting the workers, but I feel like there should be an easy way to push this up to the app - what am I missing? Is this possible?
I am not using an online store, just the API. Thank you.
Unfortunately, sending order confirmation to the Point of Sale app from an API payment isn’t currently available for Square’s API.
We are constantly improving the product based on feedback like this, so I’ll be sure to share your thoughts with the API team.

Request a Blockchain API V2 to receive Payments

I don't know if this is the right place to ask this question, but I have a problem with the Blockchain API V2, I tried too many times to request it, but never getting an answer nor my API!? I don't know why.
I searched the web looking for people whom having the same problem as I am, but find nothing. Also I didn't find a way to contact them asking about the delay in giving a simple API code!.
So if anyone has a better idea please let me know.
As an addition I am going to use it in a thirdparty software, where I am not able to add other Bitcoin payments instead of Blockchain one.
I don't know why exactly, but they have become extremely strict as to who they give API keys now. Previously it was very easy, and now they heavily investigate the intended usage. I wouldn't be surprised if the reason has to do with gambling sites and scams that were using their API.
As for recommendations you can run your own node on a VPS or use another 3rd party API. The only one that is as easy to use as blockchain.info, but actually gives out API keys is block.io. The catch is the free version is severely limited. There's also blocktrail, and blockcypher.

Yahoo YQL returning INKApi error

I am starting to get a little desperate: a few days (maybe a week or two ago) Yahoo API - YQL that was previously working correctly started returning INKApi error.
Specifically, I am talking about Yahoo Fantasy Sports (baseball) API.
I am definitely not the only one receiving the error. But Yahoo is not reacting to posts on their message boards, see:
https://developer.yahoo.com/forum/YQL/Fantasy-Sports-YQL-Console-returning-INKApi/1399927585884-7008ef4d-0696-4114-b789-1840b0f798ff
https://developer.yahoo.com/forum/YQL/Fantasy-Baseball-All-Star-Break/1405604995092-827c4ff0-8517-4814-825b-222345dc1a16
I tried to contact them through their contact form as well, but no reaction at all.
Does anyone have a solution for this? An idea about when (or if) Yahoo will address this issue? A direct contact to someone at Yahoo who could help?
Thanks.
I think contacting them is the only way so that they can modify their api and give you the developers what they wanted ..In my opinion we dont have anything to do witrh this..You must contact someone at yahoo..
See this link..https://developer.yahoo.com/forum/YQL/Fantasy-Sports-YQL-Console-returning-INKApi/1399927585884-7008ef4d-0696-4114-b789-1840b0f798ff
After more than a month, Yahoo mysteriously woke up and corrected the error. The API is working again (at least for me), so the problem seems to be fixed for now.
However, we should all be aware that their service comes with no guarantee and there is no way to contact them. So all developers should take this into account when trying to work with Yahoo API...

Tumblr API change and the downfall of certain apps

I've searched endlessly for answers, and I just cannot seem to find anything!
I use an app (Mac) called Hyperimage for my Tumblr blog.
Since the developer has completely abandoned this app (not returning any customer service emails, fixing this problem, ignoring a refund request via PayPal until I had to complain, etc.) I cannot figure out how I could possibly fix the API, myself?
I'd be very grateful if I could be pointed in the right direction!
Thank you!

WorldPay Integration

I have been asked to set up a demo site which calls out to WorldPay to authorise transactions.
We won't have a MerchantID or anything like that yet, is there a dummy service that you can call that is either on the internet at-large, or is downloadable and you can install locally?
I've obviously had a look around and so far come up with nothing - it's a straightforward answer so wondering if anyone on here knows off the top of their head?
Thanks
Was a few years ago but as far as I remember:
If you (or your client) are going to be signing up with Worldpay then they provide both live and test accounts.
I seem to remember that you have to put a successful transaction through the test account before they will activate the live one for you.
Thier support dept used to be very helpful so I'd suggest just giving them a ring
It's in their interests to get you up and running so they can start charging you for it
