I have developed apps for 3 years and am now looking to build an app that uses TFL (transport for london) api calls. I was reading their guidelines and read the following:
"Distribution
Developers consuming TfL data and providing public services built on it are expected
to provide the hosting capacity necessary to serve those public consumers. You
should take our data and proxy it, you shouldn’t allow all your clients to hit our service
driectly. This is intended to reduce TfL’s cost liability for hosting and content delivery."
While I have done a lot of app development, I have never hosted my own proxy receiving responses from an api. I have searched the internet for tutorials on this (ideally specific to TFL, but general ones would be awesome too), but can't find any that help.
Does anyone know of any?
Spoke to TFL about the Bus Times and it turns out you don't need to run this data via a database and can instead have users making direct calls to the API via your iPhone app. Great news :-)

I have used AT&T Watson for performing Voice-to-Text transcriptions for a couple of years now. It has been reliable and "ok" as a service but they are discontinuing the service in October.
I know MS Exchange can transcribe voicemails... I assume it is implemented via Microsoft.Speech? But I have read many posts that say Microsoft.Speech doesn't support dictation... on the other hand I've seen SAPI COM examples (foundation for Microsoft.Speech) that do support dictation.
System.Speech is a desktop solution that requires training, so that is not an option when transcribing voicemails.
I tried the Bing transcription service yesterday and it was absolute garbage compared to AT&T and Nuance wants an absolute fortune for their service, so that leaves me with...
Google Cloud Speech API, but for the life of me I can not find C# .Net sample code for THIS API after looking for 2 days.
Does anyone have c# sample code for Google Cloud Speech API.... By the way, this is a very new service, so examples from last year don't work for the current API.

Is there a documentation tool for a WCF endpoint out there?
We are trying to setup governance of our WCF Services and it would be really nice to auto document the list of service operations on a given endpoint.
For example: http://MyService:8080/Client.svc has the SaveClient, UpdateClient, GetClientById etc. If I was auto generating documents then when a DeleteClient service gets added it is really easy to flag that for my SOA Governance Board to look at.
I know I could write my own using the code generation tools provided by Microsoft, but I was hoping that someone else already got this idea and coded it up for me.
(Basically I am looking for a WSDL to MS Word tool.)
I just need to google a bit differently.
Generating HTML documentation from WSDL
That question pointed me to WSDL Viewer, which seems to do what I need.

we're working with a client who's parent company is using intershop enfinity 6 as a shopping platform with each sub-brand using their own shops, but they are connected to the "mothership" via some form of api.
now i am facing several problems:
i have no influence on what software is used whatsoever, so i know enfinity is probably a pain in the ass but i have to live with that
i will be old and grey until they manage to get me some contact or documentation from the parent company's it department
apparently there is no chance of acquiring documentation from intershop without being a registered customer. at least i found nothing on their site but the brief mention of "modularity"...
all i want to do is to look up what kind of api (or whatever they use to implement shopping functionality on other sites) this is and if it is in some way standardized, etc... any info helps.
is there anyone with experience on this? i'm sure to get some specs someday but it would be nice to come a bit prepared.
thanks in advance,
anton
You get detailed information only if you have a support / customer account with Intershop. Or you get your hands on an install DVD provided by your client - there you can find a whole set of documents and API documentation. The best information until then would be visiting http://www.intershop.com/enfinity-functionality.html - but it just talk about features, not technology.
(Disclaimer: I work for Intershop)

Is there any service that receives emails users send to me, parse the content and call my API?
I would do it myself but don't want to mess with mailservers, cronjobs, etc
Thanks
I approached this problem a week or so ago whilst trying to provide one of our developers to not write something. There is nothing out of the box or hosted that I've found.
The nearest thing I've seen is a DIY SMTP framework in Python which is quite powerful (Lamson). It allows you to receive email, process it and call external services or store the message content.
http://lamsonproject.org/
Hope this helps.
Google App Engine has a mail API built in, that seems very simple to use, just forward the email to string#appid.appspotmail.com
I will use that, calling the API of my app hosted in heroku.
Thanks Chris for your answer, it is very good to know that a simple email framework exists!
SendGrid.com also offers this service. http://sendgrid.com/docs/API_Reference/Webhooks/parse.html

Does anyone know of a public API for historical traffic data?
Some quick googling pulls up an API from Yahoo which offers real-time data, but I'd be curious if anyone hosts a service for historical data - i.e., what was the "severity" (one of the attributes the Yahoo API returns) for a given location at a given date and time.
(I'm going to guess that such a thing doesn't exist today, or at least no public options, as this would be an immense amount of data to store, but it never hurts to ask...)
While yahoo has shut down its traffic apis, there are a number of companies providing traffic information.
HERE from Nokia
Traffic API from Microsoft
Traffic API from MapQuest
Predictive Traffic API from INRIX
These guys certainly have the data, but I don't know how easy it is to get access to the API: http://inrix.com/developers
