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 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'm looking for a RESTful Speech to Text service for iOS that will allow me to attach an audio file to a POST request (with an API like AFNetworking), then receive a text response of the translated text. The AT&T API for Speech to Text seems interesting, but there doesn't seem to be any documentation about working with Objective-C.
Are there any such services, free/paid, that would offer the ability to "translate" an audio file into text through a POST request?
How about using the Nexiwave API? I've heard some pretty great stuff about it. http://nexiwave.com/index.php/site-map/119-integrate-voicemail-to-text-in-5-minutes
One option is using Google Chrome API.
Refer to http://mikepultz.com/2011/03/accessing-google-speech-api-chrome-11/
You can recognize using flac(or speex)-encoded audio recording.
I don't know whether it's free or not for commercial product. But you can use it for testing and development purpose.
Try Nexiwave.com. API is here: http://nexiwave.com/index.php/site-map/119-integrate-voicemail-to-text-in-5-minutes
at&t is free/Paid Api and you can make 3 apps for free in at&t you need to post audio and you will get json,Xml in response
https://developer.att.com/apis/speech/docs contain documentation for it.
Also there is another APi http://www.nuance.com/for-individuals/mobile-applications/dragon-dictation/index.htm it's a paid API but as you register you will get API-Key and other key required to make sample application(only for development not for production).
but no one API is accurate as google and siri.
I have made sample application using at&t API,Dragon mobile API and Google.If you have any doubt feel free to ask

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.

Is it possible to create gmail, facebook and twitter account through API?
Short answer: No.
Well for Google Apps you can sync a user directory (via LDAP) using Google Apps Directory Sync. This will provision, modify and de-provision any number of accounts without CAPTCHA verification. You will be billed for each one you create and they will all be in a domain you must own so there are practical limits for abuse, but this scales out to tens of thousands of accounts. There is no method to do this for Twitter and Facebook but things like this are a large part of the draw (for companies) of services like Yammer and App.net.
Yes, for a fixed premier or education domain you can create accounts programmatically using the google provision api.

I researched this, read the TOS and only got more confused. I want to develop a desktop application (Java or Objective-C) using maps. What I'll actually need from the maps is to visually set a starting point, and an end point and get the distance in km. How can I do this (API or interface), and am I allowed to use Google Maps API in this manner?
The Google maps API needs an Iframe. So you'd have to embed a browser in your app. At which point it 'should' not violate the license. The API and the related is http://code.google.com/apis/maps/. There is a discussion forum there as well to ask License specific questions.
There are specific API calls to do exactly what you're looking to do.
Indeed, from that website's FAQ, I got:
Can I use Google Maps in my non-Web application?
Yes, the Google Maps APIs can now be used in Desktop applications, provided that they adhere to the other restrictions of the Terms of Service. Note that in order for a desktop application to be deemed "publicly accessible", there must be a publicly accessible webpage from which it can be downloaded. See Section 7.1c of the Terms of Service for more information.
Now I only need to find out how to implement it in a desktop!
