How can you check which extensions a twitch streamer is using?
For example, extensions used when
creating their 'About' page, or
when running custom codes (e.g. !event) during a stream
You can see the extensions active on a streamers page via the "Get User Active Extensions" API endpoint. Currently this involves a call to https://api.twitch.tv/helix/users/extensions with a user_id query string parameter
The current documentation for the endpoint is at https://dev.twitch.tv/docs/api/reference#get-user-active-extensions
As for "custom codes" you are out of luck, since there is no easy way to get what channel bot is in use and the commands that channel bot has. Since it will vary by channel and bot in use.

I've scoured for any information regarding an Open API for Periscope.
I have a twitter feed, that should only show if Periscope is Live (the said user will share the broadcast via Twitter).
I can parse the word "IS LIVE" but then I'd have to parse multiple languages.
I'm looking to check an API if the user is Online in periscope, if so, then display the latest twitter feed (which is the broadcast).
There was this User Online button that could be generated
https://www.periscope.tv/embed
it calls an api like https://embed.periscope.tv/user/bpsdmik.json
but it seems that the certificate is invalid, so I keep getting errors ..
Any help / workarounds would be much appreciated!
I've Searched OPEN Periscope, but mostly requires an Authentication token etc.
There is no open API for Periscope. At least, not that I'm aware of. Which would explain your difficulty in finding anything. The closest thing would be the Unofficial Periscope API, documented by Pmmlabs (the same folks who run the OpenPeriscope project). However, as you've already discovered, most of the calls to the Periscope API, including all user-related calls, require an auth token.
Outside of using the API or screen scraping, the only other way I can think of to tell if a user is live or not is to try accessing their Periscope page directly. When you go to a user's Periscope page at https://www.pscp.tv/{userId}, Periscope will redirect you to that users most recent broadcast, where you can parse the broadcast id from the redirect URL. Once you have the broadcast id of the most recent broadcast, you can use the following API call (which does not require an auth token):
https://api.periscope.tv/api/v2/getAccessPublic?token={broadcastId}
... to determine whether the broadcast is live or not. Look at the JSON response and if the "type" field equals "StreamTypeReplay", then it's a replay, otherwise it's a live broadcast.

Register a new app (Currently unavailable)
A question for developers. How soon will fix the registration of apps?
Is it possible to register my application in manual mode?
I need my clientId!
Apparently they haven't given out new client IDs for months (another user says so).
To answer your question though, no. As Soundcloud says when you attempt to register an app, "...we will no longer be processing API application requests at this time."
I'm trying to use the API too. It seems like we either need to use client IDs belonging to other people, wait an unspecified period of time, or there may be select uses of their API that don't require a client ID.
It depends on what kind of content you want to access.
If you need only public content than you can obtain the CLIENT ID from your AJAX requests made to soundcloud. Open network debugger in your browser and explore AJAX requests you should see some queries made to api.... and the query string should contain client id:
https://api-v2.soundcloud.com/tracks/687584815/playlists_without_albums?offset=85&limit=5&client_id=xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Hope that helps.
Let's say I need to implement a callback service on a website.
I'm curious if it's possible to develop it using Twilio.
For example, if a website visitor provides his mobile phone number from one side, from another side I have a manager using his web CRM application. Is it possible to:
Make a call (using WebRTC?) to a manager
When the manager replies the incoming call, call to the website visitor (on his mobile phone)
Connect both sides together
I know there are lots of ready-to-use callback services, I'm just curious how it works under the hood.
Twilio developer evangelist here.
This is a feature we call Click to Call. Here's how it would work with Twilio:
The visitor provides his number through a form on the site
Generate a call to the manager using the Twilio REST API
When the call connects to the manager, dial the visitor.
This is achieved using TwiML
Whent the call connects, Twilio makes an HTTP request to a URL you provide in step 2
That URL needs to respond with TwiML, which is a subset of XML to tell Twilio what to do with the call
In this case the TwiML would be to <Dial> the visitors number
When the visitor answers the two are connected
This is a high level view of it, we also have a tutorial walking you through Click to Call with Twilio (this is the Python version, but there are others available too) which I recommend you take a look at.
Let me know if this helps at all.
I want to achieve the same as Hootsuite, publish a post in a PAGE STREAM. But I don't know even where to look for it. It looks like Hootsuite is using the API, because they prompt an open Auth authentication where the user selects and authorize what this APP can do with his data.
With the PHP client I've been able of posting in the user APP stream (different from the user main stream) using moments class, and get data from the user using plus class client, both from the PHP library available here: https://code.google.com/p/google-api-php-client/source/checkout
But I don't know how to write in a user's page. Does anyone knows or can point me where to go to, at least, publish on main Google+ page stream as Hootsuite? Thanks.
The Google+ Pages API is currently available to a limited number of parters only, including HootSuite. You can request access to the API at https://developers.google.com/+/api/pages-signup but there is no guarantee when, or even if, Google will approve your access.
Although you can use the HootSuite console to post messages to Google+ pages (see http://hootsuite.com/google+), it isn't clear if you can use the HootSuite API to do so.
I am doing Eventbrite integration in my Application. I am trying to create Event and make it live. I found the Event creation API, but that doesn't include any information on how to make the even live.
How can I set my event's 'status' attribute to 'live' using Eventbrite's API?
If you are using one of the Eventbrite API clients, you should be able to do something like this:
eb_client.event_update({id: event_id, status: 'live'});
I'd recommend trying the interactive documentation page for the event_update API call to learn more.
The developer site uses our available OAuth2.0 authorization service to access your events, allowing you to inspect your API request urls and response data.
Before you go live, make sure that your event has tickets available, and that you have assigned a venue and organizer profile whenever possible.
