is there a data api for the windows 7 phone marketplace? - windows-phone

Is there an api that exposes the apps in the windows 7 marketplace as odata, rest, soap or something else programmatically accessible?

Per the comment from #talbottcrowell, Crawling the Windows Phone Marketplace http://brandonwatson.sys-con.com/node/1767886
It's not an official api, but certainly seems to be a blessed way to do it.
there's also great docs as part of the codeplex project zunedata

One Drive / Office365 similar scripting language as the Google Apps Script

I searched for the One Drive scripting language, but found only this (Live SDK API): https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/apps/hh826521.aspx?f=255&MSPPError=-2147217396
This shares similarities more like a Google Drive API. Does Microsoft OneDrive have web based scripting possibility similar to Google Apps Script?
About how to call the Live SDK APIs: the JavaScript API (Windows Store apps and web), the Managed API (Windows Runtime apps), the iOS API, and the Android API . You may want the JavaScript API , please click here for how to use the Live SDK JavaScript API in your web app.

Is Live SDK deprecated?

As I have understand - Live SDK has supporting 2 main features:
OneDrive and Microsoft account
Now with release OneDrive SDK all OneDrive features are coud be found in it.
But if you want to access Microsoft Account you still can use only Live SDK.
Seems that now we have 2 branches - Live SDK and OneDrive SDK.
One for account and another for files.
I am asking because sometimes it's not clearly written and looks like live SDk is depricated.
They are deprecated according to this:
The Live Connect APIs are deprecated. We recommend that you use the
Outlook REST APIs to build your solutions. This will extend your reach
to Outlook.com users and Office 365 enterprise customers. Although the
Live Connect APIs will be supported in Outlook.com for the short term,
existing Live Connect API solutions might stop working without
advanced notice. If your app is using IMAP with OAuth 2.0, it will
continue to work, but our REST APIs are the primary APIs for building
apps that connect to Outlook.com and Office 365. Read the article on
how you can take advantage of the Outlook REST APIs.

Windows Phone 8.1 and OData Service

How can I call a Odata Service from my Windows Phone 8.1 App. There is no "Add Service Reference". Microsoft don't support this feature anymore for xaml Windows Phone 8.1 Apps.
How can I bind this Odata Service now?
Any ideas...
thanks

You can use the WebAuthenticationBroker
MSDN Reference
Windows Universal Apps Sample
Vittorio Bertocci wrote a great article to demonstrate how to use WebAuthenticationBroker with Office365 api (EWS/OData)

"Add Service Reference" is not supported any more, but a new one is in the landscape: T4. Please take a look at this blog post: http://blogs.msdn.com/b/odatateam/archive/2014/03/11/how-to-use-odata-client-code-generator-to-generate-client-side-proxy-class.aspx.

Spotify Web API for windows phone

I am developing Windows Phone 8 application, in which I want to get recommended tracks of the user of Spotify. I would like to add these tracks of the user into favourites of my application.
I need to login and get the track list and details which I can show in my application.
There is Spotify library available for Windows(Win32). Can this library be used for Windows Phone as well??
Please let me know if anyone know how to integrate spotify into Windows Phone.
Thanks,
Manmath
The Win32 libspotify library cannot be used on Windows phone, and the REST-based Web API isn't powerful to do what you're asking. Unfortunately, there isn't a full-featured API available for Windows Phone.
