does a Yahoogroups api exist? - scripting

Do we have a yahoogroups api?
I have a yahoo group and I want that whenever my RSS feeds are updated, a message should be automatically posted to the group with the link to the post.
Is that possible?

No, there is no public API for Yahoo! Groups. If such an API is ever opened up, the Yahoo Developer Network (developer.yahoo.com) will have all the details.
Disclaimer: I work at Yahoo in the YDN group.

I had a conversation with someone from Yahoo a few months ago - he said they were working on an API for their groups, but it was not yet ready for release. I have not heard anything since, and I don't know what their timeline is for this.

There is a JSON API for getting data out of a Yahoo! Group. See Yahoo! Groups - Archiveteam for more information.

API for sending closed captions to a Microsoft Teams meeting

Since August 25, 2021, Microsoft Teams has support for CART captioners to send text (captions) to the meeting. This is great!
See https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/officeupdates/teams-admin
On this page
https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/office/use-live-captions-in-a-teams-meeting-4be2d304-f675-4b57-8347-cbd000a21260 is described how to obtain the CART caption link, to which my software need to connect.
But this is where the information ends. I cannot find the (Graph?) (REST?) API how to make this work.
I have searched the API reference https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/javascript/api/overview/msteams-client?view=msteams-client-js-latest as well as SDK sources on GitHub. Nothing about CART or captions!
I hope someone can point to me to the documentation on how to feed Closed Captions to a MS Teams meeting... some Sample code is even better ;-)
Thanks
We have discussed with engineering team and get to know that GET API development is in-progress. There will never be a POST API for it.
We do not have exact ETA to share for now.
There is a CART API endpoint that you can use to push captions to Teams. This is the same URL that you get when you enable CART in the meeting options for your meeting . The details are available on the Teams Meeting Apps API reference page.

I'm trying to use Instagram API

I'm using default Instagram API, but when I try to fetch comments on posts, I'm getting a response with data empty, even when I know that there are comments on the post.
https://www.instagram.com/developer/endpoints/comments/
So when I tried to report it, it told me to migrate to Instagram Graph API. I searched, its look it's for personal use for business, I was building a raffle website helper, randomly pick a winner from a comment, and this broke my project.
Edit 1
So I'm confused because when I access Instagram Developer website says to gonna to new Instagram Graph API, but here, I got a message that it's just for business accounts, but I already have registered my app with "facebook login" like the links you have sent to me
See demo what I'm building: https://youtu.be/DmVN5t0dRaY
The problem: https://imgur.com/a/YHC5lZE
This is deprecated by Instagram. It's not really telling you to use the Graph API, it's saying that this is the way they are going and the Graph API is intended for business that want to maintain their own page and interact more successfully with Instagram users.
Instagram still offers an endpoint
GET /users/self/media/recent
That should suit your needs.

Leave Reviews via Google Places API

Does the Google Places API allow writing of reviews via third party websites/apps? I'm tired of asking customers to leave reviews on Google, Yelp, Thumbtack, and Facebook for local businesses.
I've scoured all the documentation, but can't find an answer.
https://developers.google.com/places/
If it's not possible, has anyone ever had success asking Google to change a policy?
No, it's not possible. You can add places, but these are only available in your own application (unless they get added enough to be added 'globally').
When it's just about reviews, there are other apis present.
Asking google to change a policy? I've tried to have my country added to google and despite they actually have a data center present, it look them over 4 years to add it to their view of the world...
Here on Google places issue tracker is the actual issue on their bug tracker. As of april 2016 it says PendingFurtherReview. Star it for updates.

Google Plus comments as a feed

I run a blog and use Google Plus as a promotion tool, posting on G+ every updates. As I have hundreds of followers, quite often my G+ posts have several comments: I would like to show them on my blog!
I know there are a few tools that give you back the latest xxx post given the G+ User ID, but what about the feed about a single G+ post?
Thank you.
Francesco
You can fetch that data using the documentation here: http://developers.google.com/+/api/latest/activities/get

Is there a way to access to a twitter user's following stream programmatically?

Months ago, Twitter added a new feature to enable us to see the following stream of a specific user. (see TechCrunch news - Now You Can See Twitter The Way I See Twitter).
I cannot find the official api for such data and wandering if such data can be obtained programmatically.
It is the first one here:
