First, I'm sorry if it's not the good place to ask this question, but I think it's related with programming.
I'm going to create a website, and this website needs soccer data like scores, players ... etc, I search on the net and I found a lot of APIs that you need to buy for it.
but I'm really confused how this APIs works ? it there are a companies who have employs and watched games and add data manually, or this use other method ? that can I create my own API ? If yes, how can I get the data ?

i am a junior developer helping designing an app that uses bitrix24; i can see that the API has many methods to get all the available entities. I would like to know if someone knows an non official API that can bring them all with just one method?
if you're looking for an unofficial library, here's one

I am looking to wrap a bot service in order to enable business areas to create and manage them at will with minimal technical knowledge, but meeting our strict security controls. With this in mind I need to be able to create and manage them 100% programatically.
I have been working on a prototype with Microsoft's Bot Framework, Luis and QnA Maker. Sadly though joining these technologies requires a number of manual steps, specifically:
Creating a bot in Azure (Bot Framework)
Creating a Luis Account
Joining Luis bot with Azure(the subscription management part
of the API was recently deprecated)
Creating a QnA Account
Microsoft really don't feel very joined up at all...
With this in mind I am now looking for alternatives and thus looking to see what Google are up to. I am just a bit weary of heading off in a new direction to find similar issues.
Looking briefly at the API documentation it seems I should be able to import an agent in to a project and then manage it. I imagine I could use a template to create my bots from.
Thanks for your time

Thanks for your feedback.
The way I see it, Bot Framework is more modular than other options out there. First of all, creating a LUIS and QnA account are optional and not time consuming. The average use case can be solved with less than 50 lines of code with no need to throw LUIS or QnAMaker into the mix. Why should Microsoft force you to use LUIS if you might not need it? Google uses a different approach. In my opinion, they give you most of the tools from start, like the NLP agent, so you need to understand NLP concepts even if you don't really need to use them. Most developers tend to overthink their bots and make them more complex that hey need to be.
With that said. We don't provide a way to create agents programmatically. But the process of registering your bot is very straight forward and fast. Let me know if you have any problems on this regard.
Please, take a look at our samples here:
https://github.com/Microsoft/BotFramework-Samples
They can give you a very deep knowledge on what architecture to use for different scenarios. Many times there is a simpler way to achieve the same goal and Microsoft does not try to force you to use the most advanced techniques. Most of the time you can achieve your goal with very simple and easy to maintain code.

A Quick Update, in the end we went with a solution based on this idea:

I can simply create a new bot by executing cloudformation.
We've just decided to purchase Google Apps for Business for a couple of users and are now running pilot for migration.
We have a certain issue, which we would like to see if it can be solved with Google Apps Script.
Suppose that the following situation applies:
At this moment we're in a domain and we have certain user templates set-up in documents such as a document for faxing and a document for memo's. These templates have application-logic behind them so the template gets filled in values for the users name, and branch office, ...
What we would like to do is replicate this behaviour in Google Drive, but I'm not sure what the best way is to implement such a feature.
Do we create a spreadsheet and in the script editor we write the full template from scratch? Or is it possible to have a template on the google apps account which we then can transform on open?
I hope I'm a bit clear of what we would like to achieve, but in case I'm not; do feel free to ask me more questions.
I hope to hear from you all!
Kind Regards
Your question relates more to a global appreciation of Google Apps than a script question... I'm not sure I should be answering here...
As a personal opinion I guess documents would be the best tool to get what you want. You'll have to create a couple of templates with personalization fields that a script would fill in with the 'logged user' data.
The document and doclist api are quite powerful and could also classify the created docs in folders and manage how they are eventually shared among users.
Depending on your abilities in javascript coding it can be anything between quite easy and really hard to build up ... :-)
I am working on a webapplication where I need to deliver products to houses in my country.
All the street names and neighborhoods are present in Google maps. I want to know if there is any way to get all the street data(street name, region) from Google maps into one single file to load in my database.
This way people can easily find there street with the auto-suggest options Javascript has. And then I can calculate the cost, trough distance, the people have to pay.
Or is there another way to use the Google maps data in my web application.
PS. sorry for this not being a programming question. If someone knows another place on StackExchange where I can get this question better answered this post can be relocated.
Getting everything in a database is not something Google is going to give you. It's taken them a lot of effort to build it and they want some return.
You do have the option of working with GeoNames where you can either download the database or use a webservice.
Alternatively, you could access Google's database using the Google Geocoding API.
I would recommend working with the Google version as it is much more likely to be up to date.
If you are looking for a way to calculate driving distance from one address to another so you could calculate costs, then I recommend you check out this article. Actually, I'm going to do exactly that on my current project. The problem is that we do not have specific addressing system in my country, so I'll have to use approximate estimations (within an area of the address that is...).
wondering if anyone has heard of a way to filter Twitter search results to the users 'following' list? I'd like to do a search for pics that people I follow have posted. The pics part is fairly trivial (search for image URLs) but I'm guessing that a user-filtered search is beyond the API, even with oAuth.
I've seen a couple of services like snapbird.org that advertise this feature (even though they don't seem to work well), any guesses as to how they go about this?
Thanks!
You can implement this specific image search easily with the help of jetwick.com available as open source here: https://github.com/karussell/Jetwick
Currently searching in your friends is possible but adding yet another filter isn't that hard. Patches are welcome ;)
