I am .net developer.I need some clarification in the feeds notification.
I have some list of RSS feed url (e.g more than 100 URL).
My question is I want to develop a console application to get notification if the new item comes in any of the 100 URLS.
What is exact way to do this. Please guide me.
Can we make use of the pubsubhub protocol for this requirement or any other simple approach is available to do this.
Thanks,
Jayakumar
Yes, PubSubHubbub is a protocol that you could use for this. Now, it's not implemented by all feeds out there, so you'll have to resort to polling. Another option is to use services like Superfeedr which provide a webhook mechanism to notify your application when a feed has been updated.

I'm writting a new post, because all of topics that was related with getting Instagram Direct message via API are a little bit old.
Do anyone knows if there is a possibility of GET Direct Messages via API or in some programatically way?
Right now, it doesn't look like you can. The Instagram Graph API docs don't mention direct messages at all. The old Instagram API never had this.
Take a look to the Component InstagramApiSharp, it contains this functionnality. There are some actions that you can built for the direct message with it.
Can anyone tell me what is the best way to maintain and communicate change-log to api consumer using api-blueprint? Preferably I don't want to use another 3rd party service like apichangelog to communicate the changes.
We (Apiary) do not offer any tool which can help you doing that at the moment.
If you're using any kind of hosted source control system (GitHub, Bitbucket), you could throw a webhook whenever a change reaches the master branch, which usually means something like I introduced a change in my API.
Once that happens, in your webhook handler you could have a look to all your issued API Keys, reach the provided support email and send a notification there.
I found this post on getting Notified when a file changes on dropbox. The problem is that the "/delta" API endpoint requires polling. I want instead to subscribe to events about file changes.
Ideally, I could subscribe to both "new file" and "file updated" events for a specific folder. I could then give dropbox a URL pointing to my own app that would be called when those events occurred. This is similar to how Twilio works. You can provide a URL to be POSTed to whenever your phone number receives a text message, and then your app can respond to POSTs to that URL however it wants. This seems like a much more elegant solution than polling -- is there any way to do it with the dropbox API?

We actually have webhooks now: https://www.dropbox.com/developers/webhooks
(original reply below)
No, Dropbox doesn't support this.
BTW, the general term for the sort of notification you describe is a "webhook."

it seems like Box API has webhook. You may want to try it.

Happy Dropboxing!
Dropbox now offers webhooks, although not with a event_type filter

I need to have the Shopify Web Hook parsed in the way I want it to look myself, I want it to HTTP POST only a few lines of information that are taken from the order that the Web Hook will be sent for.
I work with third parties that need order information that I send to them, these third parties have to adapt in 1 way or another to the web hooks but as of right now Web Hooks looks fairly limiting. Is there any way I can edit the contents of a web hook through the Shopify API???
I want to make use of the Web Hooks but be able to use it as a regular HTTP POST mechanism where I can choose myself exactly what I will send to the link I set to have the information sent to.
It works like this.
Shopify sends you an Order via Webhook. It's not sophisticated computing. They just keep on sending the complete order to your URL endpoint until you return a 200 OK status that you got it or they just give up on you.
Now that you have the entire order, you parse it, take out only the note stuff you want, and now YOU can send just your precious note stuff to your favorite person via HTTP POST using your computing engine... be it some PHP, Python, Ruby, Java or .Net concoction.
Shopify ==(order)==> Your App (you process) ===> do what you want...
Would a script that sets display messages for instant messengers be simple or complex? After some searching, there doesn't seem to be any information about this at all.
For the sake of an example, if I had a text file of quotations, would it be possible to have the google talk display message change to a different quotation hourly?
Depends on which client you're using. As far as I know, Google's client doesn't offer any interface for plugins, but the open source instant messenger Pidgin does. I think there already is a plugin for what you want to do, but you can write your own using the documentation and examples they give you.
The complexity of writing something like this is based on how much C or Perl you know, since you can program in either of those for Pidgin. Reading code from other people's plugins, you should be able to figure out the Pidgin API.
You can use Kik API to programmatically send rich content and files between mobile applications. It is available for iPhone and Android platforms and takes only about 5 lines of code to integrate into your app. There is more info at the API website: http://www.kik.com/dev
