I am developing a web application for musicians to grow their fan base for their music.
I want that as a musician if i have a eventbrite account already.
I can directly sign in using the same EventBrite Account Credentials to create an account in my proposed web application.
I did find that Eventbrite provides an API

I am looking to implement a hangouts chat bot for my customers. I am fairly new to the Google ecosystem, so I apologize in advance if some of this is obvious.
Here is my basic confusion:
It looks like in order to access the REST api the chat api requires a service account.
Does this mean that I will have to ask every customer to create a service account using their Google cloud account?
Corollary to the above is: Does every GSuite account have a Google cloud platform account associated with it?
If the service account has to be created, would the customer somehow need to share the private key for that account with me in order for my application to make calls on behalf of the service account.
My end goal is to give my customers a seamless experience where they can choose to
Install my bot in the Google Chat app for their GSuite domain
At the time of install get some information about their domain
Whenever a message is sent to the bot (DM or Room), identify who the message is coming for and in which GSuite domain, and reply accordingly.
Is this possible? Am I missing some very obvious Google concepts?
Thanks in advance.
If your customers have a normal email they can't connect with you. For more information refer this link
Considerations
The service account is used from your bot to access the Google REST APIs. It has a service account for your Google Cloud Project. There is no need for every user to have an service account enabled nor for them to give your their private key (never share private keys).
Approach
You can build and deploy Google Chat Bots directly using Google Apps Script. For your application I suggest you to use the tutorial in this page: https://developers.google.com/hangouts/chat/quickstart/apps-script-bot

Creating new Bots
In our SAAS application, we decided to use Google Sheets API, to generate docs and to give permission for editing documents online in Google Docs web and mobile application.
Here, do we need all of our customers have to be Google Accounts? Is there a better way to create users at the backend of our customers to connect directly from our app?
Unless you're using a service account (which isn't ideal for scaling apps), you ought to use google login, which requires a google account.
I have a site that I have tagged using Google Analytics. I can see that the stats are being created and I can analyse them using Google Analytics web tool.
I want to extract my tagging data using the Google Analytics API but all the instructions seem to point me towards the developers console to create my OAuth2 token. My site does not appear in the list of apps that is presented, so I can't do the next step of generating my OAuth2 token.
I feel like I must be missing something obvious, but I am hitting brick wall at the moment. How do I get the site to appear so I can see it in the developers console?
The Google Developer console is for registering your application, this way google knows who is using there APIs. Your Google analytics account wont show up here because well that's not how it works.
Create a new project you will get a client_id and client secrete that are used to identify your application. Then you use a programming language to access the API using the client id and client secret.
I am not a java programmer so i cant help you with that. You mentioned that you want to access your own data. I recommend you look in to using a service account. A service account can be used to grant authentication without having to prompt a user for access. This only works when it is your own account you are accessing and the data doesn't belong to another user. Take the service account email address and add it as a user in google analytics at the ACCOUNT level it must be the Account level. then when you use the service account in your code you will have access.

My project deals with both Web app and Mobile app. So before we can use Linkedin API's into our project we need to register our app with Linkedin according to this Quick Start. But for my situation where i use Linkedin API's for both web and mobile, Do i need to register two application with Linkedin. Or is there any other way to register a single application and use the same for both web and mobile?
In the registration page i don't see any distinction for Web and Mobile, unlike facebook where a single application registered can be used for both web and mobile app.
If anyone could point me to appropriate docs or pointers, it would be really helpful.
Thank you.
When a user authorizes your LinkedIn Application, their authorization is tied to that particular API key - if you were to use multiple keys in a single user realm, the user would in theory have to authorize both of them.
In short, I don't see any advantage to using multiple keys if your users are going to be exposed to both web and mobile.
I am using Twitter API for retrieving user information for specific name searches. The method I am using is users/search. You can find details of this method here: http://apiwiki.twitter.com/Twitter-REST-API-Method%3A-users-search.
Right now I am trying to use OAuth in my application as Twitter announced that they will no longer support basic authentication. The issue with using QAuth is that I don't require the users to connect to their Twitter account and so I can not generate user token. My application is using Twitter just for showing information about people, it's not posting/updating anything. I will really appreciate if anyone has any suggestions on using OAuth for Twitter without using Twitter user's login information.
I would suggest that you create an account for your application and use that account to perform user search if your application is a webapp.
If your application is an desktop app, I think it's understandable to user that they need to authorize your application to do the user search.
