I am trying to build a app using the hangout API, starter app.
Does the Hangouts API have support for data fields to be added on runtime?
For example,
a. If we need to add team members to our app
b. Or when we do 'Create Application' (https://appengine.google.com/)
c. When we enter AppEngine app ID to Gadget URL (https://code.google.com/apis/console/?api=plusHangouts)
Can we do the above using Python code and using the API (if there are any)?
As documented in Google APIs Console Help we don't let people programmatically register data into the APIs console.
Don't forget that that the current restrictions are because we are in a developer preview.

I m trying to develop an android application which takes recipe name from user and internally search recipe of entered name from Google custom search and give it user.
But i do not understand how to access Google custom search from my android application. Please help me to get out of this.
Thank u in advance.
Google provides a JSON/ATOM Custom Search API. That would be the way to go about integrating the Search into your Android application.
To make the integration processes easier into any client application and avoid doing all the REST stuff in your code, there are a number of client libraries made available. Take a look.
Be aware of the pricing i.e. free quota v/s billing.
I am using the Titanium mobile library (with the Alloy framework), and I have started tracking custom events by using the Ti.Analytics.FeatureEvent() function. I'd like to be able to retrieve the data that I have sent to Appcelerator via an API. is this possible? I wasn't able to find anything in the documentation about it.
As a Appcelerator Studio user you can use https://dashboard.appcelerator.com and there you can see all your analytics events in real time the only thing here is that you have to pay for this service you have to had a enterprise account, I wasn't able to retrieve any analytics data with my free account, also if you have some custom properties in the featureEvent() function like this:
analytics.featureEvent('Reservation.careType', {
type : careType
});
I'am still not able to see my "type" value in the ticket that i raised they've told me that they can send that data with an http://aws.amazon.com/s3/ account.
Hope this helps
I am trying to create a windows 8 app for a particular band who have stored their songs on
Reverbation and soundcloud. My problem is that i dont know how to get those contents from these sites...I tried creating an rss feed using feedburner but that failed. Is there any way where i can get the feed or the data for my app.
SoundCloud has a well documented API. You can check yourself if the functionality you require is available.
ReverbNation on the other hand doesn't seem to have a public API available at the moment. There's only an API link in the page footer which opens a dialog for subscribing to any news regarding that via email.
I am thinking about app that will use google form and I need to create forms from that app. Is there a way how can I create form in google docs without using website but through some api or some other way?
I can offer an idea for a solution using Google App Script.
Since the beginning of 2013 you can create new forms using the App Script Forms Service API quite easily.
var form = FormApp.create(title)
.setDescription(description)
.setConfirmationMessage('Thanks for responding!')
;
The problem now is how to get that App Script running from your non App Script code.
You can use App Script to create a Web App that reacts to HTTP GET requests.
So putting it together, you may be able to create an App Script Web App that reacts to a GET request and when it gets the right URL parameters, it creates the form.
(Nov 2020) Yes, it is possible to programmatically create Google Forms. You can do it with Google Apps Script using its Forms service. You can also extend the code to read in the contents from Google Docs (with Apps Script's Document service) and use it for the creation of Google Forms.
I created a Google Workspace (formerly G Suite) Add-on, which you can think of as a Google Docs extension, called GFormIt. Its original purpose was intended for teachers to write exams/quizzes, possibly with answers, in Google Docs, then automatically convert them to Google Forms to distribute to students who submit their answers into Google Sheets (the destination for Google Forms submissions).
Furthermore, if you (the teacher) provided answers to your test questions, GFormIt would also auto-submit your answers to the Sheet as if you were a student. If you do that, and use a tool like Flubaroo to grade the exam, you could designate your row in the Sheet as “the answer key.” You can learn more about how it works, including viewing a short video, at the GFormIt page linked above.
This Google Docs add-on, along with others for Google Docs, Sheets, Slides, Forms, etc., are all certified/validated by Google and available for free to anyone from the Google Workspace Marketplace. (However, your admins may have to grant permissions for you to try to install them to your corporate Workspace account.) If interested in building your own add-on, please see the developer documentation and perhaps some of my introductory videos to get started, the most relevant being the one linked to at the top of this answer.
Apps Script is a serverless Google technology, meaning you write your code (using JavaScript) in the browser, and it is hosted by & executed on Google servers. If you wanted to create your own web app (and hosted anywhere), you would have to wait for a Google Forms REST API which does not exist at the time of this writing. (If we ever launch one, you'll find its documentation at https://developers.google.com/forms along with the others like Sheets https://developers.google.com/sheets, Gmail https://developers.google.com/gmail, Drive https://developers.google.com/drive, etc.)
Earlier this year (Mar 2022) the new Google Forms Api graduated from Beta. It is more powerful that the previous versions and caters for two main use cases:
Automated form creation and editing: Enables automated form creation
and editing. Enables rapid form generation from large volume question
banks or other data backends.
Reaction to Form responses: The API also enables developers to build
automations for acting on incoming responses. Examples include
developing real-time dashboards or visualizations and triggering
business workflows based on response data.
We have used it to build an integration that Creates documents and slides each time a form is completed: www.portant.co/google-forms-to-docs and it works really well.
I think the other key use case looks like it would be a good fit for you and others looking for a solution like this.
Cheers, James
Sorry, the API doesn't support programmatically creating forms.
My clients have decided to open a store on Shopify, and they want a list of the items for sale there to be displayed in our website; which is built in jsp (liferay). I'm completely new to Shopify, so I've been checking around, but I'm getting confused.
There appears to be a "Shopify4J" library which should make calls to the API real simple, which is basically what I need (retrieve a list of all items from the store). However, I see all these examples with urls, and I've read that Shopify API can only be used from Shopify apps.
My question is, can I actually call the API from my website to retrieve the item list? Or do I have to create a Shopify app that would connect to my site via something like webservice?
You could use the api and pull in the products, but I think a better solution would be to install the widget app and just embed the widget into your site. Much simple and does exactly what you want as far as I can tell.
Shopify Widget App: http://apps.shopify.com/shopify-widgets
In order to make an Shopify API call, You'll have to first create a token. This can be done by going to Apps > Manage private apps and then click Generate API Credentials. You'll be provided with API Key and password to use in your call.
Here is the documentation of private apps.
And here is Shopify's api documentation.
