possible to get textual ratings from the win phone 8 api? - windows-phone

is it possible to get the textual ratings from the windows phone 8 market via the api?
I know that I can get the apps in the market but don't know if the other thing is possible

I think you can call to the MarketplaceDetail Launcher like MSDN exposes.

Apple search ads popularity index: how to get one programmatically?

The question is very simple how to get Apple search ads popularity index for any given keyword?
It's possible since i see a lot of ASO tools provide such metric. But there are not any open API documentation how to get this data.
For getting search popularity index you can also google for chrome extension like „ Apple Search Ads Search Popularity for ASO“
If you want to check your app ranking or get keyword suggestions for different appstore countries you can use this app https://applab.cloud ( I am from Germany and getting insights from US AppStore with this app )
Looks like the only way is to parse searchads.apple.com to get one. Or to use Jailbroken iPhone to create requests and get responses directly from App Store.

Does anyone know how can I analyse the UP 3 data on Windows 10?

Copied from the old forum:
Hello,
The app on the phone is good for analyzing the data from max 2-3 days.
I would like to have an access to the more detailed data on my computer.
Is there any way I can do that? Is there a tool for Windows 10, I could reach UP3 heart rate data? or sleep time?
Thank You in advance,
Agnieszka
As of now, Jawbone only provides mobile applications for iOS, Android, and Windows phones.
For retrieving UP user data on a non-mobile device, you have two options:
Download a CSV from the jawbone.com Settings page.
Use the UP APIs to retrieve the data you want.

Can I use LIVE ID to insert a reminder into the Windows 8 Calendar?

I am developing a Windows 8 Store App using c# & XAML.
I would like to use the Live ID SDK to connect to the calendar in order to schedule reminders there.
Is this route possible, and is it the right way to do it from Windows 8 Store App? and if so which would be a good sample to follow here?
Thanks
EitanB
You can use Live SDK to create events in users calendar provided they sign in with their live ID and approve it. You can find more details and sample at http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/live/hh826523.aspx

Is there a Windows 8 App directory website (not the one accessible from within Windows 8)?

Is going through the Windows Shop within Windows 8 the only way to know about the apps that are currently available (and if an app idea is already taken)? I've seen Windows 8 app links like this one -
http://apps.microsoft.com/webpdp/en-in/app/bigflix/cd3aa73b-e60e-44b6-bbe9-6898050a3502
...but going to the root site throws a "403 - Forbidden: Access is denied" and a search for "Windows 8 Store" doesn't provide any useful results. I guess there will be something after the official Windows 8 launch but is there anything else I'm missing? As a developer, I would love to see a summary listing of apps that shows a brief description, its features and Capabilities used.
Unfortunately for us, Microsoft is not providing any such information regarding the Store apps. All we can do is glean a bit from here and there. Zdnet has mentioned the number of apps, for example.
Have a look here and here
This link in particular maybe of some use because it provides estimated app category breakdown.
I created site http://metrostorescanner.com/ to see what's new in apps for all countries (but you can also use country filter).
I found a file with a site map that you may be able to use for a listing of apps:
http://apps.microsoft.com/webpdp/sitemap/sitemap_1.xml
http://www.greatwindowsapps.com is a searchable directory on the web. It's not the entire Store, the content is filtered to remove poor quality apps. Disclosure: this is my site, so clearly I think that's an advantage :)
http://drunktester.azurewebsites.net/ is the full Store using the Australian content. He published the source code (https://github.com/VikingCode/DrunkStore) so you could set this up for any country if you wished.
Update - It is now possible to search for Windows Store & Windows Phone apps even from non-Windows 8 machines and also view apps by category from the official Microsoft websites.
As #mamata-dalal & #gyurisc have mentioned, there is currently no official Windows 8 app directory.
I came across the website Windows8Apps (though not perfect) that comes close to what I'm looking for.
Currently there is no other place than the Windows 8 Store is the only place, but I am sure soon there will be plenty of sites categorizing these apps.

Synchronizing phone data with online service

I am trying to build a windows phone application which can synchronize my events on the phone with online service. I can use an api for interacting with the online service.
I am having difficulty understanding how I can synchronize my phone events with the online service.
Can some one please guide me as to how I could go about working on it or some helpful link where I can understand how this actually works??
This is for a school project and for non-commercial purpose only.
Thank you
All help appreciated!!!

Windows Phone 7 does not currently provide 3rd party apps with access to information stored in the calendar or contacts. This may be included in Mango, which is set to be released fall/winter 2011, but as of right now you cannot access the events from a custom application.
