i am trying to use ucwa apis to get the users presence status. but I am getting issue as failed to get application resource
You might want to look at this discussion which discusses how to perform UCWA Autodiscovery for Skype for Business Online and get the application URL.
Presence has recently become available in preview for UCWA-powered SFB Online apps.
I've created a C#-based example that you can use as a basis in your UWP app, which includes changing presence for a user.

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.
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.
There seems to be a lot of different SDKs / APIs around Skype for Business. I'm having a tough time deciphering which one would be appropriate for a server side Bot like application that could communicate domain specific information to the users within the organization. For example we'd like to be able to deliver task(s) via messages and perform presence based task assignment. This seems to be fairly low hanging fruit but where's the REST endpoints and documentation to make this happen. Assuming for example I wanted to create a little console application that could facilitate this what API would you recommend?
Here are the main differences between UCMA and UCWA:
UCMA is a .NET SDK that provides rich control over a Skype for Business server deployment. It enables applications to automatically route calls and messages, provide automatic responses (IVR or chat bots), record conversations etc. It can be used in a number of scenarios such as a 'contact center' application that distributes incoming calls to an available agent with the right skillset. UCMA applications are managed by running them on application servers that are activated as part of the Skype for Business server deployment. As such, UCMA is not available for Skype for Business Online (Office 365).
UCWA is a RESTful Web API that acts on behalf of a single Skype for Business user. It enables applications to send and receive messages for that user, read presence for their contacts, etc. Typically it is used for interactive "line of business" applications that want to embed Skype for Business messaging/presence. It is also possible to create a 'technical account', that doesn't correspond to a real person, and use UCWA in 'headless' server applications but this approach currently has authentication and scalability limitations. UCWA applications have no deployment constraints since UCWA is a regular RESTful Web API. It is available for both Skype for Business Server (get started) and for Skype for Business Online (get started). The latter has slightly fewer capabilities right now: - for example, messages can be sent but not received - though this should change soon.
I think both UCMA and UCWA can be used. However, considering you want a server application, UCWA seems fit the case. Here is the detail of SDK, you can find code samples at there:

I have created UCMA trusted application using C# console application.
I want to monitor all Lync Users instant messaging calls (in one place) as well as store their conversations in the database via this console application.
Is it possible?.
If possible, please give an idea or any url.
UCMA trusted applications will only respond to traffic to the endpoints associated with that application so if you want to monitor all instant message traffic it would be the wrong API.
I would suggest using SIP Application API http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/office/hh364644(v=office.14).aspx to create a server application. This will also require the use of MSPL documented here
As Dai has asked - is the console application a requirement or will a windows service be ok?
Try our this sample application SipSnoop it basically shows all the metadata passing throught the lync server, you can tweak around it according to your requirement.
I have the following requirement for my rails application.
My users will subscribe for updates by choosing different categories and their preferences of receiving the updates (SMS or Email). They receive the updates according to their preferences when ever a update is posted on a particular category.
I am planning to implement a web service with the above functionality. The web service will
Expose an API to subscribe users for different categories.
Expose an API to post updates to a particular category.
Send out email or sms or both for all the subscribers to that particular category according to their preferences.
Is there any open source project or rails gem with the similar functionality or is it better to build my own web service. My application is in Rails3, but I can take the web service in any platform.
Thanks Guys.
Since no body is cared to answer my query, lemme answer it.
I realized building a web service for such functionality is an overkill and there are no opensource projects running on the similar line. So i have decided to include the logic in my rails app rather than building it as a separate service.
