Is anybody aware of any AOL API (e.g. based on OAuth) that would expose the user address book (no screen-scraping)?
I've seen a few threads about it but no answers:

Aol Contact API
AOL has been promising this feature for a while: http://dev.aol.com/api/addressbook/comingsoon
There doesn't seen to have been any activity on this front for a long time. I'd also really like to know if AOL is intending to add this feature anytime soon.
Edit: AOL has changed their developer site and there is no longer a mention of the Contacts API.

My team and I are looking to add to our app several features of the Linkedin API that are currently restricted. In order of importance to us:
Find Profile by VanityName
Webhooks
Video UGC Post
We already quite understand that Webhooks and Video UGC Post are REALLY restricted. What about the first one?
In general, how can we get in contact with the right people to get such approvals? Nowhere it is mentioned that we cannot apply, just that it is restricted.
We are very happy to work with Linkedin requirements, whatever they are.
Thanks.

To be able to find profile by VanityName with LinkedIn API you need to become a LinkedIn Partner.
First you need to create an application https://www.linkedin.com/developer/apps
Once you've created an "application" you can then apply to become a LinkedIn partner. To apply go to https://developer.linkedin.com/partner-programs/apply
LinkedIn's Business Development team will review all applications and will endeavour to respond to you within 15 days.
I have a app using Google API to access my user's mailbox. I am trying to do the same using the Outlook REST API to extend my audience to Hotmail & Live users.
The thing is I've been looking everywhere without finding a clear explanation on how to register an app. Do I need to pay for something? What kind of account do I need? What are the available scopes?
If someone can provide me with a short explanation on the steps to follow it would help me a lot.
No, it's free. You can use a free Microsoft Account to register at https://apps.dev.microsoft.com. Look at the Registering an app section of https://dev.outlook.com/RestGettingStarted.
I am working on iphone application.I wanted to get the social networking (facebook,twitter, etc) profile details by giving email id as query. Is there any method to get the profile ?
For Facebook you can try this answer: https://stackoverflow.com/a/5247066/580173
For twitter this this not possible. You can use oAuth to authenticate the user and get the profile.
For LinkedIn I believe it's also not possible. LinkedIn doesn't communicate the emailaddress anywhere in their API.
See this forum post: https://developer.linkedin.com/thread/1131
I'm assuming that you're wanting to just add the social profile links to a user's profile inside your app...correct? (If you want to actually allow your users to post to their various social media accounts, your best bet is to go ahead and let users sign into each individual account via OAuth.)
If you're looking to get public social info via email address, your free options for a simple solution are pretty limited. Each different social network has its own method, so you'd need to build out a different process to query each social network you want to support. Without more info on which networks you want to support, there are any number of different answers to this question - so I'll just say your best bet is to check out the developer docs of whichever social networks you want to use.
If you're looking for a paid solution, you might try FullContact (full disclosure - I work for them). The Person API pretty much does exactly what you're looking for - pulling all public social media profiles associated with a particular email ID. API docs are here.
However, it is a paid solution, which may not be what you're after.
Is there a way to create a filter in gmail programatically for gmail users as well as for free google app accounts?
It seems that the e-mail settings API is only applicable for Google Apps for Business or Education accounts (http://support.google.com/a/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=60228).
Aayush.
I would like to know whether anybody knows the answer, because a good gmail filtering app is sorely needed for android users!
I looked everywhere and finally found this:
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.digitalchemy.springclean.gmail&rdid=com.digitalchemy.springclean.gmail&rdot=1#?enroll=yAb5pZ2MYWwmoft_rED3OYt6t0U%3D&purchaseButton=Dw2xBTSDPLCsKHcCnowBY0VcYUU%3D&addInstrument=NyJt6qfLAWzk-RVX01VtYp73FRg%3D
I don't like that it costs 3 dollars and uses 7megs of space. The source is closed, and I'm trying to guess how it does what it does.
This is the most recent link I've found as I try to make my own filtering app and service:
http://googlecode.blogspot.com/2010/03/oauth-access-to-imapsmtp-in-gmail.html
So, it appears that the API is (as you stated) for Business / Education accounts only, and Google doesn't support Sieve in their IMAP account - http://support.google.com/mail/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=78761
As I see it - your only option would be to create a custom IMAP client that creates & stores rules on your own server, and then manipulates the email locations "manually" - a rather taxing process if you ask me but doable :)
EDIT:
Here is a little tutorial using Zend_Mail for moving gmail emails via imap

I wrote a web-site and I want to connect the users at some point to there Paypal and Payoneer accounts.
I saw some very old posts (even in Stack overflow) that said it wasn't possible.
Does someone know if something has changes? Is it possible to do so?
I haven't used the API myself, but here is the link for the Paypal Account Authentication API. I couldn't find much about Payoneer, except that they are thinking about making a SDK.
