IB (Instant Bloomberg) chat transcript via API - api

I have a Bloomberg terminal running on my PC.
Is there a way of reading chat transcript from my own application ?
For example I am using Bloomberg API from C#, but developer's guide does not mention anything about "Instant Bloomberg". I use BBG API for MD purposes, so I am quite familiar with this API, however can't find "chat API".
If BBG API is not an option, are there any other possibilities ?
I just want to READ from chat, not write (contribute).
Thanks a lot !

There is a new IB API introduced by Bloomberg in 2018. This service allows banks to integrate Bloomberg chat with their internal trading apps.
There is an extra cost associated with the use of of IB API.
BBG API does not support chat integration.

How to send messages with Whatsapp Business API with ASP.NET

I have searched for the Whatsapp Business API but not found the official Whatsapp business API samples. What are the limitations of media messages and billing. If any one have information please provide.
The WhatsApp Business API Client supports a subset of the features provided by the WhatsApp applications you already know from Android, iOS, Web and other platforms including end-to-end encryption. The difference is that this application can be deployed on a server, providing a local API that allows you to programmatically send and receive messages and integrate this workflow with your own systems (CRMs, customer care, etc.).
You can check the media functionalities here. Also, you can start with the official doc.

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.

Can I create a Hangout "client" program? (kind of Google TalkAbout)

As stated in the Google Talk for Developers site, you can use the provided APIs to build a client that connects to the Google Talk service.
I would like to know if it's possible (or it will be in the near future) to build a similar client to the google hangouts.
What we pretend is to build something similar to cloud print, that provides printing services to the cloud, but for audio/video streaming: a camera and microphone would replace the
printer.
Thanks a lot.
Talk and all the XMPP stuff is going to be put down soon.
The new Hangouts infrastructure is proprietary. It only has API to integrate Hangouts into web pages and applications, but no API or protocol to create an alternative Hangouts client software.
https://github.com/tdryer/hangups is a library that does exactly that, with a command-line client for Linux.
https://github.com/xmikos/qhangups is a PyQt-based cross-platform app that aims to provide an open-source alternative to the Chrome-based official desktop app. Unfortunately it's not working at the time of posting, but the author is investigating the issue.

In browser video chat using existing services

I'm trying to set up in browser video chat for a web application. Unfortunately I don't think my servers would be able to handle it. Is there any way I can 'outsource' this to existing services such as the Hangouts feature in Google+, the new video chat in Facebook or the Skype API. If yes, which would you recommend and why?
TokBox makes it easy to add video chat to your site using either the
OpenTok API or OpenTok Widgets.

Looks promising, haven't used it myself (need a self-hosted solution).
