My app is integrated with the Sonos speakers and I'd like to provide the user the ability to select the container of the music service provider - i.e. playlist/stations/...leafs of the tree (e.g. Amazon Music, Spotify, ...).
I managed to understand the vast majority of the SOAP calls however, I could not figure out how to query the user's selected service (devicelink) and provide the same list that the Sonos controller show.
How do I do that?
Thanks!
The Sonos App does not provide a access other/third party music services via the Sonos API's unless you already have an integration with these services via their public APIs.

I am developing a web application on the Vue Framework. But I ran into a problem and I don't know how to implement a Zoom API and any video calling company since my web application is dedicated to allowing different people with similar tastes to come in and talk to each other.
I would appreciate if you can explain to me how it could be done or what would be the process to carry out in order to implement it
The Zoom API allows developers to access information from Zoom. You can use this API to build private services or public applications on the zoom app marketplace. To learn how to get your credentials and create private/public applications. All endpoints are available via HTTPS and are located at api.zoom.us/v2/.
For instance you can list all users on an account via https://api.zoom.us/v2/users/.
How can I know if an API service (e.g. Garmin health API) is down or not when calling from an application? I want to implement a way in my system so that when any API service is down for maintenance or any other reason, the application from where it's called can take some measures like showing a related message to the users who are calling it.
I am building a Xamarin iOS Native project for a iPhone app and i am using Google Maps for creating Routes to several delivery points.
I registered for the Google Maps API but i have troubles with the security of the API key.
In my project i have installed the Nugget package for Xamarin.Google.iOS.Maps and set the App restrictions to my iOS Bundle name. When initializing the MAP all works fine.
BUT we also use the Direction API for setting up routes to different points of the map. But this call function method is a HttpClient call to a JsonAsync call. The Google API denies the call because it did not work with the Bundle name because its a HtppClient Call.
The project is installed on Mobile devices so restricting with a IP address is not a option for us. No restriction AT ALL is also bad for the security.
So my question is : How do I secure this?
Please note that web services cannot work with API keys that are Android/iOS restricted. Web services are server-side and can only work with API keys that are either unrestricted or restricted by IP address.
To resolve your issue, please create a second API key to use for web service requests only.
The public docs on best practices when using API keys has also some suggestions for when IP address restrictions are impractical as with the case with mobile applications.
When using Maps Web Service APIs in these scenarios, secure your apps using one or more of the following techniques:
-proxy server
-obfuscation
-pinning

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.
I am reading about and then trying to use IBM Bluemix. I have seen some confusing statement about MBaaS support on Bluemix. Some sites mention that Bluemix is a PaaS, and some places say it supports MBaaS. I have basic doubts: does IBM support MBaaS? If yes, where can I find the full MBaaS features list for IBM Bluemix? I couldn't find it in IBM site.
You're correct: Bluemix is a PaaS. However as you probably know and as you can see here:
Mobile backend as a service (MBaaS) enables you to quickly integrate
your mobile apps with data and functions in security-rich, backend,
cloud storage. MBaaS is usually delivered through a set of custom
software development kits (SDKs) and application programming
interfaces (APIs). MBaaS can offer you full data synchronization, user
management, push notifications, integration with social networking
services, and file-handling.
A PaaS provides SDKs and APIs and for this reason it can support MBaaS. In Bluemix the MBaaS capabilities are provided by the MobileFirst platform. It is designed for building and enhancing multiplatform, enterprise-grade apps that can be native or hybrid – for Android, iOS, and Windows. You can get started here.
Yes, Bluemix Mobile supports a Mobile Backend as a Service.
Here are the current services that we have that support the MBaaS pattern and a bit of information about them (and here's a quick graphical view and some links for how to get started):
Mobile Client Access
This service enables you to secure your Mobile Application. You can add Facebook, Google, or custom authentication to your application.
Push Notifications
You can add the Push Notifications service to send push notifications to your app on Android and iOS.
Mobile Analytics (Beta)
The Mobile Analytics service enables you to gather crash and usage knowlege about customers using your mobile app.
Cloudant NoSQL DB
The Cloudant service is the IBM NoSQL database to store your data.
Object Storage
The Object Storage service is an unstructured cloud data store where you can store things like images or files.
Mobile Foundation
The catalog also includes the Mobile Foundation service which you can use to create a test environment before deploying or purchasing the on-premise software. This service is another way for enabling a developer to create a mobile channel.
