How to register an application? - api

Using the Outlook REST API, I want to make a browser extension (To-Do). I need graph api and the REST Task API. I make this application only for myself (maybe I will add it on github). Tell me, should I register an account as a commercial developer? Do I need to confirm for this application? Is it free? Where can I register the application? thank

I suggest you go through the Quick Start documentation, which will help you pick the appropriate platform and walk you through registering your Graph application. Also join the Office 365 Developer Program which will give you a free Office 365 developer subscription that you can use.

Can I use Microsoft Graph API concept to integrate my Application with MS Teams. If yes, please elaborate

I have .net application with me. Inside the application I want to add a functionality like the users can communicate between themselves by connecting to MS Teams. So I need my user to connect to MS Teams via my application. Please provide a step by step execution on this.
I don't have any idea on how to integrate my application with MS Teams. Somewhere I heard that it can be done using MS Graph API.
Please take a look at this api first to check if the feature was what you want.
Per my understanding, what you want maybe a web application and you can send messages in the webpage and finally it will be send to Teams. If I was right, then the API may help you. Microsoft graph api has the ability to Send a new chatMessage in the specified channel or a chat.
If you want to use this api, you need to have an Azure AD application then add api permission for this app. Then register this app to your web application, so that you can sign in your app to authenticate and authorize the graph api. Then you need to compose your app to prepare the message content to be sent by the api.
Here's an official sample to create web application and register aad app into the web app and call graph api.

Is it possible to develop an add-in for Skype for Business (formerly MS Lync)?

Thanks for looking.
I need to develop an add-in for the Skype for Business UI similar to the way in which one can develop an add-in for Excel or Outlook. Is this possible?
I have found documentation and several tutorials for using the Skype APIs to integrate Skype for Business with other applications, but I can't find much with regards to building an add-in for Skype for Business itself.
I would like to be able to do things like add custom menu items to the Skype for Business UI, Integrate a custom conversation window extension, capture and use data from the chat window, contacts list, etc. To be clear, I am looking to do all of this above board with the user's approval.
Any answers, advice, links, etc. are appreciated.
There is not really an add-in system for Skype For Business. In the Lync days, the solution to offer additional content was via Conversation Window Extensions or CWEs and I believe they still function in some for for Skype for Business, but the technology itself is not updating at this point.
Your desire for greater customization of the client software lends itself to implementing a custom client/functionality using the Unified Communications Web API - a RESTful Web API, but you might find yourself limited in that Microsoft is providing a JavaScript SDK and tools for Android/iOS with an App SDK. If UCWA is the route you go there is quite a bit of documentation on MSDN for implementing the basic tasks.

Is Live SDK deprecated?

As I have understand - Live SDK has supporting 2 main features:
OneDrive and Microsoft account
Now with release OneDrive SDK all OneDrive features are coud be found in it.
But if you want to access Microsoft Account you still can use only Live SDK.
Seems that now we have 2 branches - Live SDK and OneDrive SDK.
One for account and another for files.
I am asking because sometimes it's not clearly written and looks like live SDk is depricated.
They are deprecated according to this:
The Live Connect APIs are deprecated. We recommend that you use the
Outlook REST APIs to build your solutions. This will extend your reach
to Outlook.com users and Office 365 enterprise customers. Although the
Live Connect APIs will be supported in Outlook.com for the short term,
existing Live Connect API solutions might stop working without
advanced notice. If your app is using IMAP with OAuth 2.0, it will
continue to work, but our REST APIs are the primary APIs for building
apps that connect to Outlook.com and Office 365. Read the article on
how you can take advantage of the Outlook REST APIs.

Connecting to QuickBooks using API

I need some guidelines here. I am creating an online booking system for my client that interfaces with QuickBooks on their internal network (desktop QuickBooks, not online).
Do I need to go the full "publish app" route? I do not wish to sell this app in the marketplace. This is merely a custom booking system designed and paid for by the client. It seems like I need to "publish" the app in the marketplace for them to be able to use it.
Are there ways around this?
Update 06/23/2015 - To connect to a desktop QuickBooks installation the SDK with the Web Connector is now the only recommended approach. Intuit is removing Intuit Partner Platform (IPP) integration to desktop QuickBooks.
For the SDK/Web Connector, you don't need to go through any publication process or anything like that. Just build the solution, and connector your client.
There's a pretty good overview of how the QuickBooks web connector works on our QuickBooks wiki.
The QuickBooks SDK download also includes a huge PDF with detailed documentation about how to implement SDK/Web Connector applications as well.

Integrating First Data (previously YourPay and LinkPoint) payment gateway with custom ASP booking system

I’m trying to integrate a simple booking system (developed in ASP) with this payment gateway: https://www.firstdata.com/
My site is hosted on a shared server and I was hoping to pass the transaction details to firstdata and have all the secure data entered and processed on their system (as in a Form Purchase token type model).
However, I'm having trouble ascertaining whether that's possible on Firstdata, the documentation is complicated and I'm not getting much response from their technical support. Ideally I'd like a test store integration example, but I can't find this on their site.
Does anyone have any experience of integrating this payment gateway using ASP, and if so any help they can offer?
Many thanks,
Lucy
FirstData is the worst for support and integration.
I have experience w/ integrating them w/ perl, so that probably doesn't help much, sorry. But just letting you know its basically trial and error, there tech support is of no help.
I have done the LinkPoint and YourPay gateways. Both required a COM object, so a DLL must be installed on the server. Is your host willing to install that DLL and incur a possible reboot for your site, or do they already have it installed?
If they have it installed, there will be sample .asp integration examples from FirstData, but you have to sign up for a developer account. Once you get their example and if you have any further questions on how to do it, please update your question here and we will work through it.
