Service that delivers fax to HTTP request - httpwebrequest

is there any service which allows to rent a fax number and any fax which gets there gets posted to specific http address developer would provide? (hope i am clear enough) i know there are services posting fax to email, so i imagine sending it to the web server should be as well possible.

Yes, this is possible with the Interfax inbound fax service. You can try this on their evaluation account.
To set this up, login to their control panel and select Preferences -> Incoming -> Advanced Options. Set "Web Feedback Method", to "HTTP POST" and set "Web Feedback URL" to hold the specific address of your script. Obviously, your web server needs to be publicly accessible for this to work.
Full documentation of the fields that are returned to your script in the callback is available in their article "Receive incoming faxes via callback to a web application"

Maybe not quite the answer you are looking for, but you could hook into an email address from a fax to email service, and then process the email.
Maybe running as a service on a web server?
We currently do this, using Sharepoint lists to process emails, and then put the attachments in a Sharepoint library.

Calling Web APIs from VB.NET Desktop application

Following Nordigen's Quickstart details here https://nordigen.com/en/account_information_documenation/integration/quickstart_guide/
where my VB.NET desktop calls the Nordigen API, to let my customers choose their account then login so I can retrieve transaction details. My chosen component for the various web requests is Chilkat using Chilkat.Rest objects.
Going well until Step 4.2. I open a browser window with the url provided to me from the API, go through the end-user authentication process but once that is complete I am struggling to return 'control' to my VB.NET application. My redirect uri is http://localhost but I simply get "localhost refused to connect". There's obviously something missing but I'm unsure what. Managed this before with the HMRC MTD API for oAuth where you provide a port on ListenPort and all magically works. No oAuth needed this time however.
Any help/pointers gratefully received

How to change the mailserver information displayed in cPanel

When I setup a new cPanel account for a client (through WHM), I also setup a Mandrill account for clients to use as their mailserver.
Is it possible to change the mailserver information that is displayed in the "Configure Email Client" section of cPanel, and add their Mandrill details, instead?
Yeah, it's a mess. The comments in this cPanel Feature Request thread may help you:

WHMCS not sending the cpanel details to clients

I am a newbie for whmcs. I have configure all the necessary configuration in whmcs and my whm/cpanel are also connected with whmcs. I have tested, it shows successful message to me. But my clients getting the welcome mail, order confirmation mail and invoice mail except cpanel details.
Please suggest me what to do?
Thanks in advance.
Make sure that you have severs configured in 'Setup' > 'Products/Services' > Severs and check that your client is assigned to the server in their hosting product
It could be due to error(s) in the service welcome email template.
At the admin area, go to that specific user services and at the footer, click on "Resend Product Welcome Email" .
You will be redirected to the sent emails log for that client.
If it did not send, check Utilities > Logs > Activity Log .
If you wish to send the email manually, go to Orders->List All Orders and then click on the ID of the order for which you want to send the email. Make sure you are on the Products/Services tab. Scroll to the very bottom of the page where you see Send Message. Select Hosting Account Welcome Email from the drop-down and click on send message.
If the email template contains an error, you will be told after the page refreshes. If not, you will see a success notification. This at least tells you that your automatic email error isn't coming from the email template. It also helps you send the email automatically while researching for a solution to automate the process.

how to start using photobucket api for a beginner

I want to know how to use photobucket api. I successfully created a login in photobucket.
I am following the guidelines given http://api-portal.anypoint.mulesoft.com/photobucket/api/photobucket-api/docs/getting-started
The first step i am failing is that http://developer.photobucket.com is redirecting to different page.
As it is written
Go to the Photobucket developer web site at developer.photobucket.com, agree to the terms of service, sign up, and get the API key.
I am not able to open developer.photobucket.com.
I also see a redirect from developer.photobucket.com to photobucket.com. It seems that they incorrectly configured the redirect. The information about using Photobucket API required link was found in the support section:
Our engineers are working on a new API, with lots of changes, however,
this won't be available to users for a couple more months. Here is the
documentation on the current API.
If you'd rather not wait for this updated API, and would like the
current iteration now, please send an email to our API request email
address with the following information:
Your Photobucket username (This is the username for the account that
you have already created on Photobucket): Your application name
(whatever you would like): Do you require the key for commercial or
non-commercial purposes:
All three of these answers are required!
Send the API request to: pbdl-api#photobucket.com
The subject for the email should be: API Request

How to receive webhook signal from 3rd party service

I'm using a SaaS for my AWS instance monitoring and Mandrill for email sending/campaigns.
I had created a simple chart with Zapier but I'd rather like to host it myself. So my question is:
How can I receive a webhook signal from Mandrill and then send it to Datadog from my server? Then again I guess hosting this script right on the same server I'm monitoring would be a terrible idea...
Basically I don't know how to "receive the webhook" so I can report it back to my Datadog service agent so it gets updated on their website.
I get how to actually report the data to Datadog as explained here http://docs.datadoghq.com/api/ but I just don't have a clue how to host a listener for web hooks?
Programming language isn't important, I don't have a preference for that case.
Here you can find how to add a new webhook to your mandrill account: https://mandrillapp.com/api/docs/webhooks.php.html#method=add
tha main thing here is this:
$url = 'http://example/webhook-url';
this is your webhook URL what will process the data sent by mandrill and forward the information to Datadog.
and this is a description about what mandrill will send to your webhook URL: http://help.mandrill.com/entries/21738186-Introduction-to-Webhooks
a listener for webhooks is nothing else then a website/app which triggers an action if a request comes in. Usually you keep it secret or secure it with (http basic) authentication. E.g. create a website called http://yourdomain.com/hooklistener.php. You can then call it with HTTP POST or GET and pass some data like hooklistener.php?event=triggerDataDog or with POST and send data along with the body. You then run a script or anything you want to process that event.
A "listener" is just any URL that you host where you can receive data that is posted to it. Keep in mind, since you mentioned Zapier, you can set up a trigger that receives the webhook data - in this case the listener URL is provided by Zapier, and you can then send that data into any application (or even post to another webhook). Using Zapier is nice because it doesn't require you to write the listener code that receives the hook data and does something with it.
