Is there an Azure API that spits out details/attributes/characteristics of a specific meter provided through the RateCard API?
An example meter object from the API looks like this.
{
"EffectiveDate": "2016-09-01T00:00:00Z",
"IncludedQuantity": 0.0,
"MeterCategory": "Virtual Machines",
"MeterId": "40f2bbb5-1ca8-4ac5-afd6-b1e47f16314b",
"MeterName": "Compute Hours",
"MeterRates": {
"0": 0.010
},
"MeterRegion": "US East 2",
"MeterSubCategory": "Standard_D2_v2 VM (Windows)",
"MeterTags": [],
"Unit": "Hours"
}
I want to know more information about the MeterSubCategory in this case the VM meter of Standard_D2_v2 VM (Windows). How many cores, how much memory, max number of disks, and hopefully VM throttling limits for IOPS and MB/sec.

You could use Azure Virtual Machine Rest API. See this link.
GET https://management.azure.com/subscriptions/{subscriptionId}/providers/Microsoft.Compute/locations/{location}/vmSizes?api-version={apiVersion}
For example:
https://management.azure.com/subscriptions/************/providers/Microsoft.Compute/locations/eastus/vmSizes?api-version=2017-12-01
The APi will get VM name, numberOfCores,osDiskSizeInMB,resourceDiskSizeInMB,memoryInMB,maxDataDiskCount.
and hopefully VM throttling limits for IOPS and MB/sec.
Based on my knowledge, no API could list this, you could check Azure official document.

I'm trying to embed google distance matrix api and places api in one of my assessment projects. Can someone tell me if there is anyway i can get them for free since the usage will be very low?
Yes, as you mentioned that the usage would be low. You get $200 in free usage for Maps, Routes, and Places every month as per the Google maps platform pricing detail page. So you could get a total of 40000 x 1000 requests free out of $200.
You would need to set up a billing account in the Google Cloud Platform console.

I have developed apps for 3 years and am now looking to build an app that uses TFL (transport for london) api calls. I was reading their guidelines and read the following:
"Distribution
Developers consuming TfL data and providing public services built on it are expected
to provide the hosting capacity necessary to serve those public consumers. You
should take our data and proxy it, you shouldn’t allow all your clients to hit our service
driectly. This is intended to reduce TfL’s cost liability for hosting and content delivery."
While I have done a lot of app development, I have never hosted my own proxy receiving responses from an api. I have searched the internet for tutorials on this (ideally specific to TFL, but general ones would be awesome too), but can't find any that help.
Does anyone know of any?
Spoke to TFL about the Bus Times and it turns out you don't need to run this data via a database and can instead have users making direct calls to the API via your iPhone app. Great news :-)

We are gathering information about different systems. At the moment we are looking for a storage solution. We will have a high amount of outgoing traffic with large files.
I want to compare s3 with google cloud storage.
google cloud storage costs around $0.08/GB at 90TB. S3 is around $0.06. But google cloud storage has already a cdn, which makes it way cheaper than amazon s3 with cloudfront.
Now I read somewhere that google cloud stroage is much slower than s3 with very large files. Is this true ?
I can not find any information.
What alternatives do I have if I have a high amount of outgoing traffic and large files ?
Edit:
benchmarks:

2016 update - Look at this benchmark comparing AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud storage:
http://blog.zachbjornson.com/2015/12/29/cloud-storage-performance.html
As a reddit user commented:
“Not for network throughput on GCP. It consistently beats out all of
the competition by a such huge margin that if you’re writing an App
that’s latency/bandwidth sensitive on the network side just ignore the
competition.”
For current pricing schemes, compare:
https://developers.google.com/storage/pricing#pricing
https://aws.amazon.com/s3/pricing/
Performance is trickier to evaluate: You can get numbers, but those numbers will depend a lot on current conditions, network, proximity to datacenters, ratio of read/writes, etc.

I am creating a web-based RESTful service and want to cloud-enable it for scalability.
I don't want to get locked into one cloud provider though. I'd like to be able to switched between Go Grid or Amazon EC2, etc. as pricing and needs evolve.
Is there a common API to control the launch, monitoring and shutdown of cloud resources?
I've seen Right Scale, but their pricing is just from another planet.
Similarly, is there a common API for cloud storage?
Take a look at libcloud
If you are working with scala or java, you can also check jclouds(http://groups.google.com/group/jclouds)
For Java there is:
typica
jclouds
Dasein
AWS SDK for Java
What platform are you looking an API for? Our SecureBlackbox product offers CloudBlackbox package of components for uniform access to various cloud storages. Currently supported are S3 and Azure and Google (API for other services is possible on demand).
We don't have uniform API for computational functionality (at least at the moment).

Does anyone know of a public API for historical traffic data?
Some quick googling pulls up an API from Yahoo which offers real-time data, but I'd be curious if anyone hosts a service for historical data - i.e., what was the "severity" (one of the attributes the Yahoo API returns) for a given location at a given date and time.
(I'm going to guess that such a thing doesn't exist today, or at least no public options, as this would be an immense amount of data to store, but it never hurts to ask...)
While yahoo has shut down its traffic apis, there are a number of companies providing traffic information.
HERE from Nokia
Traffic API from Microsoft
Traffic API from MapQuest
Predictive Traffic API from INRIX
These guys certainly have the data, but I don't know how easy it is to get access to the API: http://inrix.com/developers
