I want to retrieve real time stock market data from a server with an IP address and port.
What information is out there for acquiring this data?
It depends upon what kind of service is provided on the server which gives you the tick by tick data. It can have an API which you can consume like the one Yahoo has.
You do not need client server programming. From what I know is you can create a web application and use Yahoo! Finance API for getting stock ticker.

As you may know the BLPAPI core developer guide (https://data.bloomberglp.com/professional/sites/10/2017/03/BLPAPI-Core-Developer-Guide.pdf) is not very intuitive and I was not able find a way to connect and authenticate without using the Bloomberg Anywhere Application.
I'm currently looking to develop an application that will run automatically on its own everyday at a specific time and would like to have this application to authenticate itself with Bloomberg and connect to the API.
Many thanks.
Justin, authenticating against the BLP API requires one of a few options to be in place. If you're only considering something around the Bloomberg (Professional) Terminal then you need to have a valid 'token' in place. When you light up a Bloomberg Terminal it creates a token and makes a BLP API 'delivery point' available on localhost:8194. When you log out of the Terminal the token remain valid and then delivery point remains intact. The token gets invalidated in two circumstances, either timeout (not even sure it will last overnight), and, the Bloomberg user logging in somewhere else (including on the Bloomberg phone app).
I should also say, that your application use case is constrained by licensing, in that you can only write display applications (as defined by exchange rules).
What some Bloomberg customers resort to if they have challenges around 24/7 applications, and, only have Bloomberg Terminals, is that they buy something called a Server API (SAPI). It allows a client/server pattern to be developed whereby the server portion can login in with its own credentials (application name), and, the client portion authenticates with the Terminal token/user. So, you could write the server component collecting data 24/7 but only delivers the analytics/results, etc when the Bloomberg Terminal users logs in.
If you're looking for something a little more systematic/autonomous then as a customer you should look at the Bloomberg Enterprise products such as B-PIPE, where the above need not apply, and you have a much more liberal accommodation of patterns.
As with all things finance, the devil is in the detail.. and depending on whether you're looking at exchange traded data or OTC, various rules and fees will apply.
Good luck
I'm setting up a new time clock-type application for one of my clients. We need the worker's location whenever the worker calls in to confirm they are at the proper job site.
So I found some services like this one http://timesheetmobile.com/ which claim to be able to: "Unlike other location applications that run on the phone, Timesheet Mobile utilizes the carrier's secure network (cell towers) to identify the location of the employee's phone." They claim this works with any cellphone - no app required.
Is this kind of location data available from Twilio for either incoming calls or SMS?
In short, no, you can't use sms for geolocation. At best you could use any number of databases to find out the general area that the senders phone number is from, based on their areacode/exchange but not where they were when they sent it.
My client requires an sms to be sent to him, whenever an invoice is made on his system by any of the employees. I have no idea how to configure it. Do I need to buy any sms-server service?
How to integrate into my application?
Any help will be highly appreciated.
Thanks
I am not sure what country you are in. But in the UK i use this provider.
They have excellent examples
I can send SMS from my webserver, my Windows .NET Form application, a iPhone app if i wanted to. This is possible because it uses a simple HTTP Request API, so even using JavaScript AJAX from the client will work.
Just search for SMS Gateway and find your countries advisability. Look at a few and decide which one suits your needs and also the costs involved.
My Provider charger per sms.. no signup fees, no contracts, just top up.
Using a mobile phone is more involved, but obviosly it has the benefit that you control every aspect of sending, receiving and processing data.
for example 1, 2, 3
You can even buy a module from china just designed to interface via Serial to send/recieve SMS, and even use the GPRS to get/send HTTP request.
There is two option
1) have to buy service from provider or
2) you have to connect your mobile with pc and send msg using AT command
A lot of carriers will allow SMS via e-mail. This may be a better option for you.
Here is a list of the e-mail address formats for a number of carriers.
I need to create an application that can accept BitCoin donations. I will have clients sending the data and a server to collect the results. Now, I have my own BitCoin account (on http://ww.MyBitCoin.com) but how would I transfer coins automatically from the client to my server where it will then be added to my account?
I'm not certain what you're asking here.
You want your application to send coins from a remote machine to your server? Due to the nature of bitcoins, this isn't possible. What you can do, however, is ask for donations, and give out your receiving address, which is almost like an account number at a bank. There is a page at http://www.weusecoins.com/ that will tell you how to get a receiving address, I highly recommend reading that site.
I'd like to develop a tracking system using an API of course (like the famous Orange API).
the idea is simple:
I send a SMS (from my Web interface) to the person i want to track
The person's mobile terminal (GPS like this) send me back automatically
the coordinates by SMS.
The sent information are displayed on the user's web interface.
The questions are simple:
How the terminal can send automatically the response?
How to indicate in the message that the information is for "user4655"?
How to make connection between the information and the database?
Thanks,
Regards.
* How the terminal can send automatically the response?
Ans: You set the gateway and the time intervals you want the device to send the sms to on the device itself.
* How to indicate in the message that the information is for "user4655"?
Ans: The gateway you use will have the API to determine that the number it is sent from. The device will use a registered phone number from either a sim or enabled by one of those cell providers.
* How to make connection between the information and the database?
Ans: I dont understand this. But I'm guessing you will have a database to keep track of the user data. You'll just probably need another table that is a child of the user, which has a list of the data and the time they came in.
