Intellij IDEA plugin for YouTrack - intellij-idea

I got interested in YouTrack and thought I should give it a go since apparently it has good integration with IDEA. I've setup the tasks server in IDEA, but what now? How can I view the list of all tasks, start/stop work on them, etc.? (I was previously using JIRA with it's connector plugin in IDEA so I'm trying to do the same with YouTrack)
Thanks.

Make sure to read the related documentation sections. If you have more specific questions, please edit your original question.

YouTrack can only be integrated as a provider of tasks. It is not like Atlassians IDE-Connector which allows you to eork completely in the IDE with issues.
Also note that when you connect YouTrack as a task provider, by default you will only see open tasks assigned to you. So you need to first go to the YouTrack web and assign an issue to you, then it will show up in IDEA.
Unlike using JIRA as task provider it will not provide you with a list of tasks, you have to search by complete task id for it to show up.

CRUD with single drag/drop or other action via API?

This is my first post/question. If I missed an existing thread that answers my question, I missed that thread in my search and definitely appreciate you linking me! Please let me know if I should be posting/asking this elsewhere....
My question relates to Salesforce.
I have a use case where a client has a monthly batch of files that need to be made available on various cloud-based storage/distribution platforms like Box and Dropbox but also other less ubiquitous tools specific to the sector. Currently, the client is logging into each distribution platform, one-at-a-time, and uploading the files; then, if at any point any files need to be updated or removed/restricted, the client logs into each platform one-by-one and takes the necessary action. Obviously the process being described is tedious/laborious and leaves multiple gaps for error. The client and I are discussing a solution that would allow for create/read/update/delete actions in all of the distribution platforms without having to leave their Salesforce org. I am aware of existing AppExchange integrations for Box, Dropbox, etc. but they don’t quite do everything we need (to my knowledge)—they tie-in nicely and there are use cases where they are powerful tools...but—my understanding of those existing integration is that they would still each require dedicated tabs within the Object and repeated ‘drags’ and ‘drops’ of the same files to each tab. Again, the end goal here is that, for example, the client wants to drag and drop one time and have it pushed to the various platforms, etc. Or another example is they would like to choose "delete" one time from within Salesforce and have the file removed/restricted on all distribution platforms.
I am a certified SF Admin 1, so...perhaps this should be in my wheelhouse but...I feel unsure how to approach. My feeling is this is asking for a combination of integrations via API and Process/Flow work, but I am hoping for some ideas/input/guidance. Any insight or help any of you have to offer would be so greatly appreciated!!
Thanks so much!

Does Google Data Studio have API functionality, and if not, will it in the near future?

I'm trying to automate a workflow using Google Data Studio. Requirements are simple - I need to be able to programatically copy a templated report (from a Python/Java application) and import/set a data source (Google Sheets doc) for that report. Nothing more fancy (no visualisation creation, formatting, or anything graphical, etc.).
Sources here, here and here (last two require Google Cloud Console account) suggest an API does exist (and detail a setup process to access it). However, after going through this setup process, I can find no details or documentation of any functionality, and consequently have been unable to progress.
Can anyone authoritatively state whether:
1. There does exist any API functionality for GDS? and
2. If not, are there plans to develop such? (since the Google links above suggest there is, I'm wondering if this means it's in the pipeline for near future).
The only directly related SO posts I can find are here and here. The first suggests there isn't, but doesn't account for the Google links I've provided above which suggest there is; the second doesn't really cover the same use case, so doesn't provide answers applicable here.
FYI - I've posted a Google Community forum post here asking essentially the same question.
If anyone is able to help out, that would be greatly appreciated :) Many thanks in advance for your time and help! :)

There does exist any API functionality for GDS?
Not in the way you are expecting. The three links you posted all refer to the current Data Studio API. The only things you can do with that API is view your Data Studio assets and update permissions. That's it. This API won't let you create/copy/modify reports or data sources.
If not, are there plans to develop such?
Not in the near future. You can make/vote for this feature request in the official tracker. More popular feature requests are usually prioritized in roadmaps.
That being said, a lot of the API use cases can be resolved using combinations of Community Connectors, config parameters, direct linking, viewer's credentials, Linking/Integration API etc.

Is there a "Meta-API" for Zapier?

While Zapier is very powerful at putting glue between various APIs, I stumbled upon the use case of creating Zaps programmatically, which would offer even more flexibility.
I did some investigation and it appears that Zapier, to this date, does not provide a public API for doing so. Is there any workaround for that ?
Not currently. Creating a zap involves a lot of UI steps (6 or 7) - many of which depend on choices made in each previous step, so trying to do all that through a remote script might be difficult and messy. Maybe share some ideas on your specific use-case: why do you need to create a zap programmatically?
Keep in mind you can also create private apps on Zapier so if there is specific functionality you need to use with Zapier you can do that without exposing it to the world.
The year 2017 Zapier introduced their Command Line Interface, which makes possible building your app programatically via JavaScript.
You can take a look at the Example Apps as well as the CLI-docs.

Asana: Does API provide user activity logs?

Does the Asana API provide some method of getting user activity logs? I am interested in activity logs and login history logs.Logs could look e.g like "user created a task xyz", "user created a project".
I went through the documentation and could not find any such API/REST Endpoint. Does Asana keep such logs
in their system? If yes then is there a way to get them? If not then is it planned in a future release of the API?
(Asana dev here.)
This isn't something we currently provide. We're working on a system for getting semi-realtime updates to "subscriptions", but we were primarily thinking about subscribing to tasks, projects, workspaces, and so on. Subscribing to a user's activity would be an interesting use case, but one we haven't considered up until now, and one that might be a bit trickier.
Thanks for the feedback!

Test Manager for Trac questions

I'm looking for a way to better manage a list of test cases within Trac. The Test Manager plugin for Trac seems to be the obvious choice.
Anyone have experience, comments and/or concerns with the Test Manager plugin for Trac?
We've also looked at Testuff, which has an awesome "Test Runner" app that integrates with Trac for creating tickets. However, it stores all of the test cases, labs, etc on their servers. I'd really like to have a single destination for documentation, tickets and tests (i.e. Trac).
We're using SnagIt for screen capture and annotations today. We're looking at the Problem Steps Recorder in Windows. We'd like to find something that can send captures to Trac, similar to the Testuff-Trac integration.
Any suggestions for an app that can capture video/images with each mouse click and key press logged? BONUS: Attach capture(s) into a new Trac ticket.
For capturing movies and uploading into Trac, try http://www.bbtestassistant.com/
For single screen captures, annotation and uploading into Trac, try http://fat-bug.com
I have also written a plugin for Cropper, http://cropper.codeplex.com/, that will let you upload images but it does not support annotations before hand like fat bug. Let me know if you want a copy of that.
We used Test Manager Plugin For Trac in one of my previous projects and I can say that it worked fine for us. It provides bidirectional traceability between Test Cases and user stories, support test plans (which in my point of view are execution plans but incorporated with wiki page become test plan) and it also as most of the Trac plugins allow to be customized in order to satisfy the process needs.
