I didn't see any documentation on it so I thought it would be a appropriate to ask here.
Are developers able to utilize videos taken by glass? Can a user share a video with a service? If so are the API responses the same?
According to https://developers.google.com/glass/v1/reference/timeline/attachments/insert accepted Media MIME types are image/*, audio/* and video/* so I would assume it is possible and the attachments can be accessed the same way like photos.

I want Alexa to point to a url like www.website.com/stockprice.php and I want to ask alexa, what is the stock price and alexa should read a string that will be available at that location. What is the easiest way to get this done. I do have IFTTT
I think there are two ways this can be done (based on how generic you want the solution to be). In both approach you will need to create a Alexa skill. To make the triggering of skill smooth you can look at NFI
Approach 1 : Load and parse website to find the content
This approach will work if you have only 1 web page and you are aware of the page structure. Once control comes to your Skill lambda, you can add logic to fetch the web page and search for the specific tag.
Approach 2: Plug skill with a Question Answering system
This approach can be used if you have large number of websites in the corpus and you want to be able to answer any questions on the content. In this case, you can ingest the websites using AWS Kendra. You can then plug your skill to Kendra to answer questions.
I'm creating my first application that requires me to update the app based on user input. I've been searching for the best way to send input to me. For example, I have a button that when the user presses I would like to send me the information they've added to a text field. Being new to this, I thought this could be done by simply sending the information to a specified email, but from what I've researched I will need some sort of database. Looking through the Apple Developer Documentation I don't even know which topic I should be looking at to figure this out, any help or direction would be very helpful!
You need to setup a server (using an API) to receive the information.
Usually you will use a webservice to receive the info from the app, although there are other ways to do that.
Sending an email through iOs would require the user to accept the email that is being sent, so doesn't look like a good idea.
Take a look at some options available to create webservices (django rest framework or flask), Google's Firebase also can be handy in this situation, since is only integrating it with your app and storing the data you want to store, with easy integration for Authentication and user tracking.
We've a custom CRM application for which we have extensions in IBM Notes & MS Outlook, basically our CRM application can be accessed from Notes & Outlook.
In the same way, we would like to extend the application to support through GMail.
Basically, our customers would like to see their custom objects/data inside various labels/folders under GMail inbox.
As per our understanding, this requires some kind of dynamic pulg-in into the GMail inbox. What is the standard/official way of doing this, please suggest.
Thank you,
Shibu.
You can add gadgets inside emails within Gmail. Basically the user opens an email and can see a pane below the email body. Full details here
https://developers.google.com/gmail/contextual_gadgets
Your concept though of 'non-email' data being available within Gmail under labels is not something I would have thought possible. Basically labels are applied to emails to allow for organisation of emails only. I would expect you would need to generate emails to achieve this.
The only way I can think of you achieving such a thing would be to use a Chrome Extension and modify the DOM of Gmail to provide 'custom' labels and objects in the Gmail DOM.
I would suggest you look at using the contextual gadget and allow for search etc from the gadget to allow the user to access the CRM data you speak of.
We have used this technique with our product here - there are some videos which will give you the general idea

I am somewhat new to programming, have some experience with VBA, but thats it. I am learning Filemaker at the moment and I am getting along quite nicely. I want to let FM automaticly enter certain appointments and reminders into my google calendar.
Now, I know that the calendar has an API, and I know that that API is the interface with which I can communicate with it. But I am lacking a step in my knowledge ladder, because the documentation is thoroughly confusing. I need to know what to use, in order to tell the calendar what to enter where. Is it like some compound url I construct? How do I login?
These are all questions that pop up. I don't expect you to answer those, but rather if you can point me to the right tutorials I can read to get this knowledge.
I hope I didn't burden you guys too much.
thx in advance
I'm one of the authors of Zulu, a product we built specifically to sync FileMaker to Google Calendar, using a bi-directional sync. You can also turn Zulu into your own CalDAV server if you want to go that route.
Good luck!
Don't take this wrong but you may be biting off too much. I have been programming for 30 years and it took me a couple of days to gather the information needed to interact with the Google APIs (the OAuth2 authentication can be really confusing at first).
My sugestion would be to look at importing calendars into Google Calendars using either CSV (https://support.google.com/calendar/answer/45656) or ICS (https://support.google.com/calendar/answer/45656) format. You should be able to generate those formats with a little bit of Filemaker scripting.
But since you asked:
You need the OAUTH2 offline access, with a refresh token you would
store somewhere.
You will use the refresh token to get an auth token
You will make requests using HTTPS GETS or POSTS (see the Calendar
API explorer), with the auth token in the Authorization header.
Since there is no Google Calendar API for FileMaker :-), you would
have to know some details of the HTTP protocol to send a properly
formatted request, you will be working at a lower level than you
would be if using a Python, Java or .NET library.
You will get back
JSON responses which you will have to parse.
There are a couple of ways you can try to do this quickly:
Use Zapier (http://zpr.io/VhK - affiliate link) to create a webhook, then use a hidden webviewer in FileMaker to create the event. Try this as an example: http://zpr.io/fqg7
Use a plug-in, like this one https://www.feedzon.com/products/fmgcal/. I've never used that particular one before, but it looks fairly straightforward.
If you want to go whole-hog, it is also possible to use scripts in FileMaker to write to the Google Calendar API, but it's a lot more work. The plugin is probably the easiest route to go.
If you don't want to use a plugin, I would recommend starting with a Zapier webhook, as it greatly simplifies the work needed to hook into the Google Calendar API.
I have a music promotion website, I require people to sign a 'copyright' permission form in order for me to display them on my homepage. I know it would be a load quicker if I integrated a Facebook signup with that.
What is the best way to do this?
What will i need to know?
The likely data I would need is the names, general contact information, bio, music likes and some other general information. I would need this data to be stored somewhere secure and somewhere were I could access it as 'evidence' they have confirmed permission to my website.
use the registration plugin that Facebook provides
