I would like to ask you about Alchemy API on Bluemix. Using Achemy API, how many times can you tag an image?
Is it only twice times?
As you can read here, on March IBM announced the acquisition of AlchemyAPI and it integrated AlchemyAPI’s deep learning technology with the Watson platform exposing these capabilities to the developer community through IBM Bluemix.
For this reason AlchemyAPI on Bluemix has basically the same features that it had before. That means that you have a certain number of REST API calls included in your plan.
Bluemix provides the following plans:
IBM AlchemyAPI Free Plan: with 1.000 API Events per day per Bluemix Organization
IBM AlchemyAPI Standard: pay per use plan in which you will be charged per API Event.
Among the REST APIs you need the AlchemyVision ones to tag images, and you can use them all the times you need. All you need is an API key, that is obtained after choosing a plan.

Can Whatsapp Cloud API be used for business as a reseller?
like what is the difference between the new Whatsapp Cloud API and the API we get from Resellers?
Also, is there an API to automate the signup process?
Those Resellers you mention are often Business Solution Providers (BSPs), or BSP partners.
So that implies, in order to be WhatsApp Cloud API reseller, you will need to be either a BSP or BSP partner.
The Cloud API architecture significantly simplifies the BSP’s operational and infrastructure requirements to integrate with WhatsApp Business Platform.
See "What is the architecture of the Cloud API?", in Cloud API FAQs
As a BSP or its partner, a reselling program is available to you both for On-premises/Managed WhatsApp Business API and Cloud API. However, you need to take into account Cloud API is relatively new and all BSPs are currently adapting/expanding their current solutions to new service offered by Meta.
In other words, Cloud API is not yet available everywhere and current services offered by BSPs are more versatile and feature rich than Cloud API until this will eventually change.
The largest WhatsApp BSP is 360dialog, offering WhatsApp Business API integration Platform as a Service, and on-premises plans.
Since you asked about differences between Cloud API and BSPs, let me give a short comparison between Cloud API and 360dialog key differences, as an example:
Differences
360dialog
Meta Cloud API
Message Throughput (Per Second)
Flexible scalability setups for small to large businesses. Send up to 70 text messages per second for single-connect. Send up to 250 text messages per second for multi-connect.
Up to 80 messages per second of combined sending and receiving (inclusive of text and media messages). In the event of high system loads, a business may experience reduced message throughput. Starting in July 2022, support up to 250 messages per second of combined sending and receiving (inclusive of text and media messages), by request
SLA - Uptime
Standard and Premium support with different SLAs: >99%, >98%
Goals of 99.9% at GraphAPI.
SLA - Disaster Recovery
Average response time of 4h. Escalation Path to Meta team after 360dialog investigation.
No SLA

So, as you might've noticed, with BSP will work more closely with you as a solution provider and will offer you more flexibility depending on the business scale.
WhatsApp Business API requires some developer effort, but there are also different WhatsApp API based solutions that make this whole process a lot easier.
One of them is get.chat WhatsApp Business Team Inbox & WhatsApp Integration API which will help you to integrate with WhatsApp much faster. Plus, it will enable access to non-technical people in your team/company, too!
I am a co-founder and CTO so I am open to answer any questions if you want to know more about our solution. Here is also a link to the docs if you're interested in learning more by yourself.

Cloud API FAQs - offered by Meta directly
On-premises WhatsApp Business API FAQs - hosted by BSPs and resellers
now there are two types of Whatsapp Business API. The ones from the diferent Busniness Solution Providers (BSP) and the one from Meta (Whatsapp CloudAPI).
I think that untill now, each BSP has develped it´s own APIS starting off the one provided by Meta. So each BSP offeres his own APIs (endpoints, libraries..).
Meta has now published the API offered to the BSP and now every business has direct access to it. No more BSP are needed, unless you want and easy to use solution.
The main difference I see between BSP and Meta API is that BSP are easier to use. MetaAPI is a huge complex system.
Now you don't need to look at BSP, all you can do is set up, create a business account and developer effort to make things work according to your business desire, and create message templates.

I was just wondering if it was at all possible to execute/action a trade on the MetaTrader platform upon receiving a signal or response from an api.
If someone could just point me to some documentation or even assess the feasibility of this for me, I would be extremely grateful as I cant seem to find any relevant to the topic.
You can try MetaApi https://metaapi.cloud cloud service which provides REST API and WebSocket API access to both MetaTrader 4 and MetaTrader 5 accounts.
Official REST API documentation: https://metaapi.cloud/docs/client
SDKs: https://metaapi.cloud/sdks (javascript, python and Java SDKs are provided as per April 2021)
It supports reading account information, positions, orders, trade history, receiving quotes, and accessing market data.
The service also provides copy trading API https://metaapi.cloud/docs/copyfactory and API to calculate forex trading metrics on a MetaTrader account https://metaapi.cloud/docs/metastats.
In regards to your use case you can use two methods to achieve the desired behaviour. First is to use MetaApi trade API and second is to use CopyFactory signal API. Both of these are available as REST API and via official javascript and python SDKs.
according to
https://metaapi.cloud/docs/client/
under "Features" section,
"... read historical market data..."
under "Current level of MetaTrader feature support" section,
"... At this point we have good coverage of MetaTrader features except retrieving historical market data."
under "Feature limitations depending on offering type" section,
"... historical market data is available for G1 and MT4 G2 only..."
can help to understand better whether data retrievals are supported?
How can we get the list of the scheduled performances tests in ALM or Performance Center ? are these informations available from the REST API ?
I have to develop a java application which will get these different timeslot and and add some other timeslots scheduled by other tools to aggregate and display them in a dashboard.
I'm on ALM 12.53.
Access to timeslots through REST API is not currently supported (my version is 12.55); You will have to deal with http requests.
I would like to implement Microsoft's Face API, but the sign-up link leads to Microsoft Azure. Does that mean I have to be a paying Azure Cloud customer to use it? Would that also mean it's not possible to use on a site running on a Linux server?
The Face API is in the Azure Market Place. It's free and here are the details:
The free offer provides all Face API operations that include face
detection, face verification, similar face searching, face grouping,
and person identification. With this free plan, calling to the Face
APIs limits to 20 transactions per minute and 5000 transactions per
month.
After that, a primary and secondary key is created. Here is the help documents link:
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/rest/api/face/
You can sign-up for Azure's free trial, and utilize the market place.
This is a REST API, so you shouldn't have problems with your Linux server.
Does anyone know where I can find Google API Request Limits for their different services?
On simulating 500+ concurrent users it seems to fail silently fairly often (maybe 1 in 10 loads)
Any ideas?
The information is in their support resources. I am not aware of a central place, but it's all there. Searching the docs for "request limit" should usually do the trick.
The Geocoding API's limits for example can be found here.
Google Maps API Web Services and Google Static Maps API limits were cut effective a few days ago. Starting October 1st 2011 commercial web sites and apps using Google Maps API for free receive:
max of 2,500 calls/day, if modified using Styled Maps feature
max of 25,000 calls/day in total
Fusion tables are preferable to the Google Maps API alone, particularly with respect to rate limits:
Applications using the Google Fusion Tables API can send a maximum of
5 requests per second to the Google Fusion Tables server.
I think they removed the limit recently: can't even find a mention of it in documentation pages where I know for sure that it was mentioned and read about the limit removal somewhere this summer.
Even their new EULA states that their service is not limited but they remain free to limit it however they want at any moment.
500 concurrent users doesn't seem to be that much though, even if limitations where in place; are you sure it's Google what's failing?
