We would like to have a service which allows the users to buy bitcoin from our own portal with APIs. Can anyone suggest what is the process to do that?
Yep, Bitcoins can be bought through APIs. There are many third part APIs though which you can facilitate this feature on your portal :
Bitstamp
Kraken
ANXBTC
BTC-e
Then, There a complete merchant solution provider :
BitPay

I am studying how to implement a scenario with PayPal APIs where the customer confirms a PayPal subscription once and authorise all future payments. The amount is charged only when the user demands the service (i.e. like a food delivery app: the user agrees to the subscription once, and from that moment on he's never asked for confirmation each time he orders and confirms, the amount is automatically charged).
I know it could sound trivial (there are a lot of applications doing this) but actually I can't find that scenario in PayPal documentation.
Looks like the Subscription scenario only allows a cycle, which is not my case. In my scenario there is no cycle: the customer is charged only when consuming products or services (with variable amount from time to time).
Thanks in advance!
This requires reference transactions, which is an account feature that must be approved an enabled by PayPal. Contact your PayPal account manager or business support ( https://www.paypal.com/smarthelp/contact-us ) to explain the business need and request the feature. (Technical support will not enable the feature.)
As for the implementation, the only publicly documented API is Classic NVP. PayPal may give you guidance on integrating with some newer API, such as "v2" vault (not v1 vault)
Can I create multiple organizations using API. IF yes, then which Xero API should I use?
Thank you very much.
Unfortunately, at this time, you cannot create organisations via the Xero API. You can vote for this functionality via this user voice page: https://xero.uservoice.com/forums/5528-xero-accounting-api/suggestions/9846840-myxero-api-read-create-update-organisations-as
This is my first attempt to use an API. I followed the instructions for registering for an Edmunds API (http://developer.edmunds.com/).
I registered for an account, got an email from them to confirm, clicked on that link, and got a request to register my application, which I filled out.
But when I log into my account and click on "keys", all I get is the message "You don't have any keys yet".
What am I missing? Thanks in advance.
Here is the email response I got from Edmunds:
Joe,
Thank you for your interest in the Edmunds Open API Program.
Unfortunately, we are in the process of retiring our Open API Program. Therefore, we are unable to issue you an API key at this time.
Regards,
Edmunds
UPDATE
The Edmunds API has been shutdown.
I would like to also recommend this website, it contains a list of the latest car information/database APIs.
I can't remember exactly how I created mine, I believe I created my dev account and then received an api key link via email. I clicked the link and it took me to a page where I could setup my app and receive an api key. You should have received said email by now.
If that doesn't work then try emailing: api#edmunds.com
An alternative to Edmunds API would be Marketcheck Cars API
The developer portal is given here with Comprehensive API documentation
The APIs supported are
Inventory Search API
VIN History API
Dealers API
VIN Decoder API
CRM Cleanse API
and lots more APIs coming up like - Market APIs with active and historical market averages, trends, dealer sales stats, dealer ranking, deal ranking, total cost to own, car market values (like Edmunds TMV) coming up
My team is building an app that will require users to connect their financial institution accounts and we've been investigating Yodlee's Developer Platform to help us do so. Seems like a great service, but I've read some dodgy articles in the press about how Yodlee also aggregates and sells that information for a variety of purposes.
Is it possible to opt out of allowing Yodlee to do this? Or does Yodlee require you to share that info in order to use their API services? Do other services like Plaid also do this?
Thanks!
Can't speak for Yodlee, but Plaid (where I work!) offers bank account connections and data services, and we don't sell our data to third parties.
Our company's system sends hundreds of small payments ($5 to $100 usually) per week to people via the API's offered by paypal and dwolla. Does google wallet's API offer an equivalent capability?
Looks like it's not supported in the API Reference :(
https://developers.google.com/wallet/objects/reference/v1/
Although there is no equivalent API, you may consider the Google Wallet Send Money feature:
