How to use Amazon MWS API - api

I have used APIs that are hosted somewhere like Google custom search APi
However I need to use Amazon MWS API for next project.
As I searched on Google there is no hosted version and neither details about how to host one such.
Please guide me about using this API.

I'm not sure I completely understand what you mean about a "hosted" version, but everything related to Amazon MWS is locatated here: https://developer.amazonservices.com/
The developer guide: http://docs.developer.amazonservices.com/en_US/dev_guide/index.html
The scratchpad: http://docs.developer.amazonservices.com/en_US/scratchpad/index.html
The seller forums: https://sellercentral.amazon.com/forums/forum.jspa?forumID=35&start=0

So, first off you are not alone. Trying to figure this out has drove me nuts.
I am pretty new to programming and web apps.
You need a Professional Selling Account ($39.99/month)
https://developer.amazonservices.com/ --->> Sign up or Manage MWS
You need to register as a developer as well.
You are looking for "Client Library".enter image description here
There is a different library for each of the APIs and their respective languages.
You must be logged in to view the libraries i believe

Can we develop plugins for shopify using MERN stack?

I checked on various blogging site or on google but I did not get the answer of this question. So can anyone tell me if we can create plugin or POS type application for shopify websites using MERN stack?
If yes, can you please share links which will help me to look more into the same topic? It would be great help.
Thank you
You can create any kind of app you want with your stack. There is nothing special about that stack that would prevent you from developing a web application with it. It is after all suitable since you get a database, web server, and the scripting to tie it all into an API-driven platform.
I have built hundreds of Shopify Apps, and some have used MongoDB, some have used Express, and some have used React, so clearly, to me at least, if I have done it in production, you can too!

postman collection sharing options for an enterprise?

I recently developed a new REST API for a company. I've created a Postman collection including some sample requests for real-world scenarios. I need to share this collection with other members of the organization.
I found a "Publish Docs" menu option for Postman collections which is pretty cool. It publishes web pages of the documentation and then displays the url for where the documentation can be accessed:
https://documenter.getpostman.com/view/1401123/RWML234Hd
One issue is that the documentation is publicly available to anyone who has the url. Meaning that anyone on the internet could potentially access the documentation. This is a corporate API and should only be accessible within the organization.
Another issue is that it appears that the published url changes every time I "Publish Docs." That's a problem b/c I need to provide a static url for Postman examples on the corporate intranet page listing API resources. My manager won't spend any money on this. I like the documentation feature but:
The documentation should have a static url
The documentation should not be accessible by anyone on the internet who gets a hold of the url
Would I need to pay license costs to satisfy the 2 requirements listed above? What would be my best free option? The default free option for me would be to save off the collection json to a shared drive on the network.
I've been asking this very question for a while now. Finally decided to implement a simple tool that generates an HTML document similar to what postman does.
hope this helps -

Dropbox - any API to cli_link?

I'm using the dropboxd service under Linux, which requires you to log into their website e.g. https://www.dropbox.com/cli_link?host_id=2173bf325f94beee3b1879d2c7b49e69 to link the machine to your account.
Is there any programatic way to do this (ideally using Java)? To access the website above it seems you need to login using forms (which seems tricky to do programatically), and their basic REST API (https://www.dropbox.com/developers/core/docs) doesnt seem to cover the cli_link command.
I could write an app to do the sync using their full API, but it seems like overkill since aside from the cli_link requirement the basic dropboxd does all that I need.
The official Dropbox desktop client is unrelated to the API, though both the API and the Linux CLI require user interaction on the Dropbox web site (once per link) to authorize the linking. Also, note that automating/scraping the site itself is not allowed by the terms:
https://www.dropbox.com/terms#acceptable_use
Not really a solution for DropBox users, but in the end we just moved over to use MediaFire instead. That has a full REST API and doesnt require any manual intervention.

do I have to register as a shopify partner?

(I am reposting this question here because I tried on the google news group and got no responses.)
I need to build a shop for my client, and the client already has a domain and a web site. I need to integrate e-commerce functionality in to the site. This is going to be done by sending AJAX requests to the API.
my question is whether I need to get a partner account for this? I am not yet going to write an app that people would install, I am just building a store for my client. how is it done?
You do not need a Shopify Partner account for this. You can instead create a "Private application" within the normal shopify admin, which will give you the api credentials you need to make stuff happen.
This article on the shopify wiki gives a good overview of the process for getting started (the first sections are most relevant in your case):

Simple VB.NET using Google Search API?

Can anyone point me to a good, simple, example of a Google API (AJAX Search API I suppose?) that can be implemented in VB.net (2008)? I have tried to sign up for a Google API key but it wants a URL from which the search will be executed from. I dont have a URL for this example. I tried http://localhost but then was told by a colleague that she got a "Invalid Key" error. A simple working example would be awesome. Thank you.
If you're running a Google API locally for development or test purposes, you can use an internal IP address - it doesn't have to be URL that's exposed to the Internet. For example, I have development machines running the Google Maps API using addresses in the 192.168.0.xxx range. This allows them to be accessed from any other machine on the internal network. Obviously you need a fixed IP for this.
I do not think the Google API TOS allows for .net development. I read that in a newsgroup article recently.
