How can Zapier support Dropbox when Dropbox doesn't support Webhooks? - dropbox

To the best of my knowledge Zapier basically uses Webhooks to link services to eachother. One of the supported services is Dropbox. However Dropbox (still) doesn't support webhooks. (i.e: Dropbox can't signal that a file has, say, updated or changed, to a arbitrary webhook endpoint of choice) .
So how then does Zapier support Dropbox? Does it do longpolling or something?

You'd have to ask them, but I would assume they poll the /delta API.

LinkedIn products to subscribe to get access to messaging api

We are tech start-up developing an application and would like to utilise the messaging and connections api.
It looks like this would require special approval from you since the API documentation is saying "Usage of this API is restricted to approved partners, subject to limitations via API agreement."
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/linkedin/shared/integrations/communications/messages
We have added all the available products in the application dashboard but that seem to be not adding all the scopes we need to make these calls.
Could someone help us with the process of the product we need to have to get the correct permission so that we can access those APIs?
Thanks

Is there a way to trigger rateItem API as a Sonos control device?

We currently use the Sonos Control REST API to communicate with the players. We would like to trigger the SMAPI rateItem for the currently playing item (like the Sonos APP does).
Is it possible by using only the Control API?
or is there a chance to get the SMAPI URL of the service by the serviceId used by the Control API, so that we can send the rateItem request directly to that service?
Is there also a JSON REST API available for the SMAPI or is it still only SOAP?
Thanx in advance
No
is the way to go, but you need to have figured out the auth secrets etc in order to get the url of the service, as well as the user credentials.
The devices only do SOAP APIs. JSON APIs are only used for the cloud API (and for the local, private version of that).
I have never taken my SMAPI support as far as the rating stuff. Older versions of my apps did support the Pandora Like button, but that was when Sonos used the old Pandora API, before they switched it over to SMAPI.

How do I retrieve the catalog of a music service?

I am building an app that integrates nicely with Sonos speakers.
I would like to provide the user the ability to select the container (playlist/stations/...leafs of the tree here) of the music service provider. Say Amazon or Spotify...
I managed to understand the vast majority of the SOAP calls however, I could not figure out how to query the user's selected service (devicelink) and provide the same list that the Sonos controller show.
How do I do that?
thanks!
This is not currently supported by the Sonos APIs and many music services take steps to ensure that only Sonos controllers can browse their catalog.
Sonos decided that access to music services should no longer be allowed by third-party-apps some time ago.
I figured out how it works and made a complete walkthrough here, https://Sonos.svrooij.io/music-services.html
It makes a second connection to the specific music service, just for browsing the catalog.
get some data from the Sonos device
Request an auth code for the service
Let the user login
If the user responded, request an access token and a refresh token.
Save these tokens in your Sonos system (optional)
Use the tokens to talk to the music service
Save and use the new access token if it is expired (optional)
You can also use my sonos-ts library, which has support for music services that require authentication.

Can i create a custom authentication system on top of SkylinkJS

i'm building a website that uses WebRTC to share audio and video. Now i'd like to access WebRTC features on Android devices so i can create an app that can receives audio and video streams from the website.
I've looked for a technology allowing me to do that and I've found SkylinkJS.
It looks great but i'm wondering something. Can i build a custom authentication system on top of SkylinkJS logic. What i mean is that i'd like to make sure the connection to SkylinkJS rooms are initiated by users actually authenticated on my platform.
At the moment, i do that using socket.io but i can do it since i'm using raw WebRTC. How can i do that using SkylinkJS? Using the REST API?
Thanks.
PS: i cannot tag this question with 'skylinkjs' since it's a new tag, but it mights be cool if someone could do it.
Yes you can integrate that with the REST API in this Applications REST API link here - . You can generate your own credentials.
You can generate the connecting credentials from your server and then when the User logs in, generate the credentials for Users to connect to the Room. See more in their support article.
SkylinkJS uses key based authentication mechanism to authenticate against the Temasys signaling servers. This ensures that any application using Skylink can only connect to calls in your application if the app can provide the same secure keys (from your Temasys developer account).
Your best bet in looping in Android would be to use the android counterpart. http://skylink.io/android/

How do I get a list of Google Cloud storage projects of a user via an API?

I'm working on integrating a PaaS product with the Google Cloud Storage API v2 and am very happy that OAuth2 is available. What makes me wonder though is having to specify the "x-goog-project-id" header on each request since that implies that my product's users provide that number additionally to the nice OAuth2 process. I understand that I could ask the user of my product to press the "Make this my default project for interoperable storage access" button to enable the v1 access, but that's rather user unfriendly and doesn't sounds very future-proof, too.
Instead I wondered whether there is a way to use the user's OAuth2 access token to retrieve a list of Cloud Storage projects the user has access to. I could then let the user decide which project to use. Does such an API exist? How likely is it that such an API will be provided in the future? Is there any other way to handle this particular problem?
There is no API to list a user's Cloud Storage projects. The user will have to give you their project ID.
