I've been working on a uniform payments system similar to Active Merchant for the past few months. So far I've integrated Authorize.net, PayPal Payments Pro, and and Psigate. Basically you use one set of method calls, one set of parameters for making requests, and you get one set of responses.
I've spent the past 5 hours looking for the next gateway to integrate. Braintree has a great API, but unfortunately they lock you into using the SDK and don't just give you the basic API documentation so you can write your own code.
I looked at Barclays, Ogone, Realex, and a few others, but unfortunately many of them don't have public api access (Barclays), have it but don't give you a key immediately (Realex), or have it but the signup process is broken (Ogone).
I'm hoping to cherry pick a few gateways to integrate with who offer something at least half as developer friendly as CampaignMonitor offers with their v3 REST api:
http://www.campaignmonitor.com/api/getting-started/
Can anyone recommend payment gateways that respect the fact that I'm a developer and just want to integrate open source software with them, and shouldn't have to go through a ton of bull shit to do it?
I don't care what country / currency - I'm just looking for developer friendly solutions that will allow me to start writing code today.
You could have a look at http://www.beanstream.com - based in Canada. They support CAD, USD, etc.
I've played a little with their API, but havent done any significant development with it.
I do remember seeing an API wrapper package (maybe in .net or classic asp, I cant remember).
good luck.

I'm working on a webshop. And would like to add the feature to be able to post product images to the shops Instagram account when a new product is added.
The thing is that the Instagram API does not seems to allow to post images. Either does the official Instagram Website. And a Google Search gives me multiple SO QA which says the same.
But at the same time, there seems to be a ton of websites, applications, and services and other non-emulators who let you post to Instagram (to mention a few: http://techwiser.com/effectivly-use-instagram-on-pc-upload-pics-bluestacks/ and http://dskgrm.com/ is another one, there also seems to be some WordPress plugins who does it ex. https://github.com/roladn/wordpress-to-instagram but I'm not too good with eirhet PHP or WordPress to be able to tell how they have done it.).
And before anyone reports it as a duplicate. I do not consider this a duplicate since all other QA simply states that it is not possible via the API, but obviously, it is possible somehow, and I'm wondering how.
So I simply wondering how people are successfully implementing this feature when either the API or the official website allows it?
No official way to post media to Instagram doesn't mean that there is no way to do this.
If you are a developer you could simply reverse engineering the Instagram API and build some software to use that, otherwise you could just use some tools already developed.
PHP
mgp25/Instagram-API
Python
b3nab/instapy-cli
And if this don't fit your needs you can go to github and search some other softwares already developed.

I want to be able to contribute to Google Translate on my native language (Sinhala).
Although there is an online portal (http://translate.google.com/community/) where we can contribute to the translator by translating new phrases or validating existing translations, I would like to create my own, lightweight portal (maybe an Android app) for the contribution service. However, I was unable to find any public API for the translate contribution platform, despite a thorough Google search and a full search through the Google Translator Toolkit API forum (https://productforums.google.com/forum/m/#!categories/translator-toolkit-api) (which seems to have been closed down since the end of 2012).
Currently my best hope is to mimic the request-response sequence followed by the online portal itself. For example, the following request is used by the online portal to fetch a question list for manual translation:
GET http://translate.google.com/community/question_list?sl=en&tl=si&client=t
However, it requires that all the related cookies are properly initialized and passed with the request, which would probably not be easy to mimic in a non-browser environment (such as an Android app). Hence I believe there's a better approach (maybe a yet undocumented API?) somewhere out there.
Does anyone know of any API for accessing this translation contribution feature?
Thanks in advance.
Please note: I am NOT looking for a way to improve Google Translate itself, but for contributing to the actual translation content as described under "How can I help?" in the Google Translate Community FAQ (https://docs.google.com/document/d/1dwS4CZzgZwmvoB9pAx4A6Yytmv7itk_XE968RMiqpMY/pub#h.e1ahmpftpdum).
P.S. I was initially planning to post this question on the Web Apps Stack Exchange, but after reading this post I decided to first try it here.
I'm one of the engineers behind Translate Community and I'm really excited that you want to see it on more platforms. We're currently under active development of the site and making it more accessible on mobile platforms without having to create dedicated native apps.
For the time being, we don't anticipate releasing a public API as the platform is under active development. Until we do release a public API, please don't use any http commands you find to create a separate app. Instead, just let us know how we can make the app a better experience for you and we'll work on making it better.
Thanks!

I am looking to add an ecommerce module to sell software components to my website. The website uses Dotnetnuke 6 / SQL Server and I have an HSBC business account that I would like to receive payment into.
I'm wondering if anyone has any recommendations for a good DotNetNuke ecommerce module first of all. One that is suited to selling software components. For instance, a user should be able to access their components (once payment processed) and download directly from the site. They should be able to access the download link for a specific period of time (e.g. 1 year) and receive updates during this timeframe. When the subscription time expires they should be emailed with a notification to renew.
Payment processing seems to be a bit of a dark art - I read that HSBC provides an API direct to business accounts, however are there any DotNetNuke modules that cater for this? The last thing I want is a professional website, product and a shabby ecommerce module that redirects customers to paypal!!
Many thanks,
Try DNNspot e-commerce the free download is full featured for up to 4 products.
Supports electronic delivery of software, and has the ability to call an external web service should you want to write your own licensing generator or connect it with something else. It works with PayPal, PayPal Pro and Authorize .Net.
OR you can use something like Digital River (not a DNN module)
I think Smith Cart also has support for electronic deliverables.
Take a look at NBStore, http://nbstore.codeplex.com/. It's an open source E-Commerce module that's very well done.
Take a look at AspDotNetStorefront - it powers over 10,000 stores and provides for digital downloads.
This can be used with DotNetNuke using an extension we developed called InnestoNuke. You can see videos at http://www.InnestoNuke.com/videos/

I'm using Yahoo search facility in my app (not YQL or API's) but i'm wondering if i submit the app for review is it going to come up against any copyright violations??
Exactly how, if you don't use the API, are you using Yahoo's search? Are you posting the raw http to Yahoo?
You have to read the terms of service of Yahoo to see if this is an issue:
12 . NO COMMERCIAL REUSE OF YAHOO! SERVICES
You agree not to reproduce, duplicate,
copy, sell, trade, resell or exploit
for any commercial purposes, any
portion or use of, or access to, the
Yahoo! Services (including Content,
advertisements, Software and your
Yahoo! ID).
And why not use the API? Using Yahoo's API is no more a violation of the iOS development license than Twitteriffic using the Twitter API.
My feeling is even if everything is up and up with Yahoo, you'll probably get pinged on this when your app gets reviewed because it looks like you're doing something sneaky. Better off using the API.

I've just taken on a client who needs a subscription based ecommerce site created using ProductCart software. I'm pretty handy with PHP so I should be able to figure out the software. My question is - what are some things i should be aware of when creating a subscription based ecommerce site? What types of questions should I be asking the client? I need to get more specifics from them regarding the different subscription levels and periods, but what other specifics should I get nailed down? I appreciate any help anyone can give.
thanks...
I would highly, highly, HIGHLY (can I make it any more clear) recommend reading and understanding almost everything on this question: What should a developer know before building a public web site?
It outlines all the big things you need to know about Security and Performance for Public Websites, a lot of which apply to e commerce sites. (When people's money is involved, it needs to work right).
Furthermore, you should make sure any certificates you should have are there, encryption, etc.
For Client's Specific Needs:
Signing Up:
Do they want to have promo codes to discount stuff?
Is there a trial period?
Billing:
When does billing occur? (Probably should be doled out throughout the month)
Should there be an interface to change the billing date?
Leaving:
How long does Customer Information stick around?
How much access does a person have to the site when they unsubscribe
Is there a day of grace period (Useful for file-storage sites)
Some of this stuff might be dictated by the package you are using, but still good to have figured out.
smashing magazine has a nice article on things to look for when designing an e-commerce site.
Be sure to ask what types of payment they want to accept. Credit cards? Which ones? E-checks? Paypal? Google checkout? Are card numbers being stored on the payment gateway? If not are you PCI compliant? Do you already have SSL? If not, who's getting the SSL cert? How do you want to handle refunds? Are cancellations pro-rated? Do you want to support affiliates? Do you want to have discount codes? Do subscriptions have setup fees?
