is there an API to make phone calls an have a phone conversation in the web (maybe flash based?), like skype but without having to install software?
thanks
These will allow conversations:
http://www.callfire.com/dialer/cm/info/phone_call_api.html
http://www.callfire.com/dev/index.php/Click_to_call_API
http://public.ifbyphone.com/partners/developers
http://cloudvox.com/
See section Connect Cell Phones and Land Lines:
http://www.twilio.com/how-twilio-works
any US or Canadian phone number and connect the caller to that person.Enter one phone number, or many! If you specify multiple numbers, Twilio will ring them all until somebody answers.
http://api.hoiio.com/voice_call.html
The voice API by Hoiio connects 2 phone numbers. Support is international, to over 200 countries.
Victor: Yes, at least with Cloudvox and probably the others. Can place calls, receive them, connect two parties, connect two parties plus your script, or let people conference (also controlled by your code).
Home page & tour has the basics, and lots of code samples at http://help.cloudvox.com/ -Troy, Cloudvox
I would also hit the latest version of the CallFire API. It is a lot more developer-friendly. You should be able to launch phone calls and send text messages both in bulk or one-offs. https://developers.callfire.com/

Is there any public database containing current mobile carriers for phone numbers?
I find out that there are many paid services (like numverify.com) and static (not real time updated) database from Google (libphonenumber).
I am looking for free API or database like libphonenumber, but with actual data about mobile phone carrier (in countries where numbers can be moved from one carrier to another).
Thank you
Well there are a plenty of services available. All of them paid. They do offer a trial version with limited api requests.
You should note that the way to figure out which carrier a number belongs to will be country-specific.
The information is, at least there, not available to the public - I've known service providers, network operators and information providers (as in yellow pages) that have access.
But, wouldn't a proper sms gateway service do this for you?
The cheap ones out there you could try out are
1) Data24-7 offers an API for looking up the carrier for wireless phone numbers. It also returns the email addresses to send SMS and MMS messages to the phone. It's not free, it's $12 per month and $0.006 per lookup. Check it out on
http://www.data24-7.com/carrier24-7.php
2) Twilio is one of the most reliable service provider out there.
You can find some more providers here https://git.daplie.com/coolaj86/node-tel-carrier

I have been searching for this for a while and I can't find. I am searching for a video on demand APi but I can't find any. Please help.
UPDATE:
Let me clarify one thing, I want to rent the movie THE MATRIX via API so I can show it to the user. That is what I pretend?
need to look into UltraViolet or Locker Access Streaming Provider Role (LASP).
check out UltraViolet for Business,
https://www.uvvu.com/en/au/uv-for-business
to connect your service to UltraViolet or to Develop Services or components you need a licence.
Download the licence package here: https://uvvu.com/sites/default/files/DECE%20License%20Agrmnts20140820%20PDFs.zip
hope this helps.
You need to look at solutions called "paywall" or "pay-per-view" for the media server which you decide to pick up.
There was a site called Popcorn Time which is similar to Netflix in number of ways. They made their source code available for every one by making the project open source after attracting huge media attention.

I'm developing a server system for a GPS asset tracking device and I'm looking to use GSM positioning to act as a back up in the event of a loss of GPS lock.
The devices I'm developing for return a 2 byte cell ID but the cell ID database APIs I've seen so far seem to provide 4-byte IDs.
Can anyone recommend an API that includes 2 byte IDs?
Thanks in advance.
Have you already checked the list available in wikipedia.org, would consider one of those using the 2byte version. The page also explain nicely the difference between the 2 & 4 byte codes
You might want to consider the OpenCellID project. They provide download from the following URL.

Thank you to the guys who offered advice.
I've managed to persuade finance to stump up for an API key for the Google Maps Geolocation API in the end.

My current project requires us to receive text messages online. It's hard to wade through the search results as many of the are just websites with about 10 numbers for everyone to use.
I am looking for services along the lines of what is being offered at http://www.tropo.com
You can send and receive text messages online on your own private generated phone number within the US or Canada.
Preferably free, just need a few more before I make any decisions
Thanks!
Disclaimer, I do developer evangelism part time at Nexmo.
Here are a few paid SMS APIs:
Nexmo
Twilio
Tropo
You may be able to hack something together that works for free, but you risk that solution being disabled by whatever provider you use (for example, some people send SMS via Google Voice, but I wouldn't recommend relying on that).
Since you're receiving SMS, Nexmo would be a good solution when it comes to price. You only pay for the virtual number (roughly $1 a month), and all incoming messages are free.
Try www.twilio.com they have a good API and it is free while testing.

Is there any service that receives emails users send to me, parse the content and call my API?
I would do it myself but don't want to mess with mailservers, cronjobs, etc
Thanks
I approached this problem a week or so ago whilst trying to provide one of our developers to not write something. There is nothing out of the box or hosted that I've found.
The nearest thing I've seen is a DIY SMTP framework in Python which is quite powerful (Lamson). It allows you to receive email, process it and call external services or store the message content.
http://lamsonproject.org/
Hope this helps.
Google App Engine has a mail API built in, that seems very simple to use, just forward the email to string#appid.appspotmail.com
I will use that, calling the API of my app hosted in heroku.
Thanks Chris for your answer, it is very good to know that a simple email framework exists!
SendGrid.com also offers this service. http://sendgrid.com/docs/API_Reference/Webhooks/parse.html
