Tumblr API change and the downfall of certain apps - api

I've searched endlessly for answers, and I just cannot seem to find anything!
I use an app (Mac) called Hyperimage for my Tumblr blog.
Since the developer has completely abandoned this app (not returning any customer service emails, fixing this problem, ignoring a refund request via PayPal until I had to complain, etc.) I cannot figure out how I could possibly fix the API, myself?
I'd be very grateful if I could be pointed in the right direction!
Thank you!

Is there any app or addon to receive notifications from external website updates?

I have been searching for this for many days, or weeks, and I am totally frustrated. Hopefully someone can help.
It is something very simple. I have to translate articles from an author but the software I use to get the notifications doesn't work. Do you know of any website, app, service... that may send me an SMS or a GMAIL message everytime a writer publishes a new article?
I can't edit or manipulate in any way the website, that is why I wrote "external". I searched and I couldn't find the RSS option in the website. In theory IFTTT depends upon RSS, so same issue.
Thank you so much folks!

Is there a way to integrate my youtube community posts into my website?

I was already aware that using Twitter's API you could link any tweet you made on Twitter onto a feed on another website.
However, I want to possibly, in the future or right now, be able to use YouTube's API to link my posts on my community page to my website updates. Of course, I would rewrite the code and get rid of my Twitter updates and API and replace it with the YouTube community posts API, but first I need to know if it is even possible. I know, YouTube community posts are relatively new, so there might not be an easy answer for this. Maybe someone could point me in a direction to find answers, if there are any. I could make a post about this on the YouTube support forums, but I'm sure you're all aware that the most I'll get is an automated response, not a real person to help me out. Any help is appreciated. I look forward to your responses and advice.

Why does Best Buy API not return results for some items?

I've been struggling with this for a bit so I was hoping someone here might be able to help. I am using the Best Buy api for my website. I have a developer account, api key, and I believe my account has been approved (the banner at the top saying it's waiting for approval is no longer present). The api works great for many products and I'm able to use it as it is intended. The exception however is that for certain skus I get no results. Here is an example: https://www.bestbuy.com/site/pokemon-pokemon-tcg-celebrations-ultra-premium-collection/6473336.p?skuId=6473336. The PS5 is another example. I don't believe it's anything I'm doing since the requests I'm making for other products work fine. I've tried contacting Best Buy's support through the developer portal and haven't been able to reach anyone (it's been 3+ months). Does anyone have any suggestions on what could be going on? Has anyone had any luck with contacting Best Buy regarding issues with the API? Any other solutions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Request a Blockchain API V2 to receive Payments

I don't know if this is the right place to ask this question, but I have a problem with the Blockchain API V2, I tried too many times to request it, but never getting an answer nor my API!? I don't know why.
I searched the web looking for people whom having the same problem as I am, but find nothing. Also I didn't find a way to contact them asking about the delay in giving a simple API code!.
So if anyone has a better idea please let me know.
As an addition I am going to use it in a thirdparty software, where I am not able to add other Bitcoin payments instead of Blockchain one.
I don't know why exactly, but they have become extremely strict as to who they give API keys now. Previously it was very easy, and now they heavily investigate the intended usage. I wouldn't be surprised if the reason has to do with gambling sites and scams that were using their API.
As for recommendations you can run your own node on a VPS or use another 3rd party API. The only one that is as easy to use as blockchain.info, but actually gives out API keys is block.io. The catch is the free version is severely limited. There's also blocktrail, and blockcypher.

Yahoo YQL returning INKApi error

I am starting to get a little desperate: a few days (maybe a week or two ago) Yahoo API - YQL that was previously working correctly started returning INKApi error.
Specifically, I am talking about Yahoo Fantasy Sports (baseball) API.
I am definitely not the only one receiving the error. But Yahoo is not reacting to posts on their message boards, see:
https://developer.yahoo.com/forum/YQL/Fantasy-Sports-YQL-Console-returning-INKApi/1399927585884-7008ef4d-0696-4114-b789-1840b0f798ff
https://developer.yahoo.com/forum/YQL/Fantasy-Baseball-All-Star-Break/1405604995092-827c4ff0-8517-4814-825b-222345dc1a16
I tried to contact them through their contact form as well, but no reaction at all.
Does anyone have a solution for this? An idea about when (or if) Yahoo will address this issue? A direct contact to someone at Yahoo who could help?
Thanks.
I think contacting them is the only way so that they can modify their api and give you the developers what they wanted ..In my opinion we dont have anything to do witrh this..You must contact someone at yahoo..
See this link..https://developer.yahoo.com/forum/YQL/Fantasy-Sports-YQL-Console-returning-INKApi/1399927585884-7008ef4d-0696-4114-b789-1840b0f798ff
After more than a month, Yahoo mysteriously woke up and corrected the error. The API is working again (at least for me), so the problem seems to be fixed for now.
However, we should all be aware that their service comes with no guarantee and there is no way to contact them. So all developers should take this into account when trying to work with Yahoo API...
