My manager asked me if we can send the API key to our customers(developers in our client companies) through Apigee with formal and secured way. I checked the online documentation and couldn't find the information regarding to sending API key via Apigee.
Any one please provide more information on that?
Every Apigee Edge Org has a developer portal associated with it. This developer portal can be used by the developers to register themselves and create application and get the Api Keys.
You can provide the Url of the developer portal to the developers in your client companies and ask them to register on the developer portal and create apps to get api keys.
Please find the links to the documentation related to developer portal and how to get a developer portal for your organization.

I am looking to implement a hangouts chat bot for my customers. I am fairly new to the Google ecosystem, so I apologize in advance if some of this is obvious.
Here is my basic confusion:
It looks like in order to access the REST api the chat api requires a service account.
Does this mean that I will have to ask every customer to create a service account using their Google cloud account?
Corollary to the above is: Does every GSuite account have a Google cloud platform account associated with it?
If the service account has to be created, would the customer somehow need to share the private key for that account with me in order for my application to make calls on behalf of the service account.
My end goal is to give my customers a seamless experience where they can choose to
Install my bot in the Google Chat app for their GSuite domain
At the time of install get some information about their domain
Whenever a message is sent to the bot (DM or Room), identify who the message is coming for and in which GSuite domain, and reply accordingly.
Is this possible? Am I missing some very obvious Google concepts?
Thanks in advance.
If your customers have a normal email they can't connect with you. For more information refer this link
Considerations
The service account is used from your bot to access the Google REST APIs. It has a service account for your Google Cloud Project. There is no need for every user to have an service account enabled nor for them to give your their private key (never share private keys).
Approach
You can build and deploy Google Chat Bots directly using Google Apps Script. For your application I suggest you to use the tutorial in this page: https://developers.google.com/hangouts/chat/quickstart/apps-script-bot

I have an application where I want to get organizational data from LinkedIn like the name of an organization, address etc. Searching on the web I find out there is Organization Lookup API and there is Organization Search API on LinkedIn, just want to know how can I implement these APIs?
As per the documentation provided by the LinkedIn, I have created my app on the LinkedIn platform and have got the client ID and the Secret Key and have generated the required auto 2.0 access token, now when i try to hit the organization lookup API it gives me 403 error
i do not think you can implement it because for the V2 API of linkedin you need a partnership. you can request a partnership for linkedin for free on their website.
the 403 error is a forbidden error because you do not have the permissions you need.
the V1 API is fully useable for people without a partnership.
partnering with LinkedIn provides you with additional API functionality & data access, increased call limits & dedicated support. Read more about our various Partner Programs and use cases and see if one is a match for your app. Applications are only accepted when we feel that they're providing value to members, developers and LinkedIn.

I have created an application to use the Office 365 Exchange Online (Microsoft.Exchange) API. I set successfully set up permissions as described here MS Integrating Applications on an existing development Azure Account. See APIs available on original account.
However, now I want to set up a similar app in a new Azure account so I can have a different visible domain for the permission sign up process. However, on this new account the Exchange Online API is not visible to select as a required permission.
This account only exists as a place to register the App so it doesn't itself have any users or need any licenses but do I have to have a license associated with that account just to be allowed to add a particular API to the required permissions? The documentation doesn't mention anything about this that I can see.
do I have to have a license associated with that account just to be
allowed to add a particular API to the required permissions?
Yes, you're right. You have to have a Office 365 Exchange Online license for your Tenant.
Why:
These APIs are exsiting in the AAD as service principal (Enterprise Applications). If you don't buy Exchange Online license, it won't occurs in the Enterprise Applications in your tenant. Once you buy the license, it will be automatically added to the Enterprise applications, meanwhile you can use its API via AAD.
This makes sense because if you don't have the license, you cannot use the product and you cannot use its API neither.
The documentation doesn't mention anything about this that I can see.
Yeah, the documentation maynot mention this and it should be noticed in the documentation. You can sign in the documenation webiste via a github account and give a feeback to the documenation Team:
Hope this helps!
I'm trying to find out how Google Cloud Messaging should be setup for businesses.
Currently I'm using my private Google account to manage the Google Developer Console and create a GCM project for my application. But what if I where e.g. a consultant agency developing an app for a customer, how would GCM be setup then?
I'm trying to answer the following questions:
Is there a way to create a Google account for Business that should be used instead?
Is it still free of charge?
Should the customer have and manage this account or do I as a developer/provider of the app manage this account?
Thanks in advance
From the documentation:
Google Cloud Messaging (GCM) is a free service that enables developers to send messages between servers and client apps.
Your Questions:
Is there a way to create a Google account for Business that should be
used instead?
Gcm does not require a special type of Google Account. Once you can create a Project in the Google Developer Console then you can use GCM with that project.
Is it still free of charge?
Yes it is free, even in business use cases.
Should the customer have and manage this account or do I as a developer/provider of the app manage this account?
This is up to you, it would depend on what the future relationship between the developer and the owner of the application is.
I have a site that I have tagged using Google Analytics. I can see that the stats are being created and I can analyse them using Google Analytics web tool.
I want to extract my tagging data using the Google Analytics API but all the instructions seem to point me towards the developers console to create my OAuth2 token. My site does not appear in the list of apps that is presented, so I can't do the next step of generating my OAuth2 token.
I feel like I must be missing something obvious, but I am hitting brick wall at the moment. How do I get the site to appear so I can see it in the developers console?
The Google Developer console is for registering your application, this way google knows who is using there APIs. Your Google analytics account wont show up here because well that's not how it works.
Create a new project you will get a client_id and client secrete that are used to identify your application. Then you use a programming language to access the API using the client id and client secret.
I am not a java programmer so i cant help you with that. You mentioned that you want to access your own data. I recommend you look in to using a service account. A service account can be used to grant authentication without having to prompt a user for access. This only works when it is your own account you are accessing and the data doesn't belong to another user. Take the service account email address and add it as a user in google analytics at the ACCOUNT level it must be the Account level. then when you use the service account in your code you will have access.
