I am trying to write a script that sometimes downloads audio and other times downloads videos using the JDownloader API. If I wasn't using the API, I would either change the YouTube plugin to only download certain media types, or I would only start the download for the wanted files and remove the others. How would I go about doing either of these using the API, or is there a better way altogether?

How do I upload data to Bing Maps without having to use the portal? I can’t find anything in the documentation that mentions this, but any time we update our data, I have to manually upload a new XML file. Ideally, we would automate the upload whenever we update the data.
The closest I can get is the Uploading Data page, but there's nothing there about it.
Use the data source management API: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/bingmaps/spatial-data-services/data-source-management-api/
If you are working in .NET, you might also find this library useful: https://github.com/Microsoft/BingMapsSDSToolkit
We use Google Meets a lot to record our meetings. I move the video files to a specific folder and then use GAS to deliver a JSON object of the file information in that folder to a webpage in Google Sites so that I can create a select menu that changes the src attribute of a tag. The video tag exists in a iframe - this is how Google Sites allows you to embed your own JS. The whole process works and I am using it successfully with other file formats like MP3 on other projects, but those videos recorded by Google Meet cause CORS errors and "Uncaught (in promise) DOMException: Failed to load because no supported source was found" errors.
If I download the video and run it through a video editor to convert it to some other version of MP4 and then upload the video back to the folder, they work. But that defeats the purpose and creates more work.
I think this has something to do with how the video is saved/encoded within the Google habitat. Why would one type of MP4 cause the errors but another type would not.
I knew as soon as I asked the question I would figure it out. The trick was to not use the tag and instead use an iframe with the src set as the video file in the format:

I'm still not sure why the video tag doesn't work with Google's version of MP4 from a Google Meet. But at least this is a workaround.
I want to create an application capable to play YouTube video's audios and also save the downloaded content in a local cache, therefore when the user decides to resume or play the video again, then it doesn't have to download part of video again but only download the remaining part (User can decide what to do with the cache then, and how to organize it).
It is also very convenient for mobiles (it is my main focus) but I'd like to create a desktop one too for experimental purposes.
So, my question itself is, does YouTube provide any API for this? I mean, in order to cache the download content I need that my application download the content and not any embed player (also remember that it is a native application). I have a third-party application in my Android system that plays YouTube videos, so I think it's possible unless that the developers use some sort of hack, again this is what I don't know.
Don't confuse with the web gdata info API and the embed API, this is not what I want, what I want is to handle the video transfer.
As far as I know, there is no official API for that. However, you could use libquvi to look up the URLs of the real video data, or you could have a look at how they do it and reimplement it yourself (see here).
I'm trying to upload a file using the Dropbox API to Ink Filepicker, but I can't find any documentation on doing things like this.
It's done in the backend using Ruby rather than with the Javascript frontend because it needs to automatically upload new photos (Specifically inside the '/Camera_Uploads' folder) as they're added.
Has anyone had experience with doing something like that? One solution I saw was sharing the file, and then uploading them with the Filepicker REST API, but that seems like a bad way to approach this.
I think that your approach of sending a URL to File Picker is a good one, but I would suggest using a media link instead of a share link. Media links expire after four hours, so they're a good alternative to permanently sharing a file.
In Ruby, the method you want is DropboxClient.media.
I am building Google docs sync application for iPad. I am able to download all the files from Google doc account to iPad for offline viewing. Now I want to optimize the sync process where only updated documents will be downloaded during sync process.
As per the gdoc api reference document, I need to use If-Modified-Since or If-None-Match query parameters for conditional fetching. However, I am not able to understand how to do it?
I tried adding both these parameters while fetching document list. I also tried adding these params while actually downloading each document entry. But its fetching all the documents every time.
If someone has already implemented conditional fetching using Google docs api,
