I've been using Zencoder's api to convert videos from one format to another but I now need to convert a video to an animated gif which is not included in the output formats on Zencoder.
Anyone know of a service which is able to do this, or alternatively any relatively simple backend library ideally php based which could do this?
I think due to the difficulty of making such a web service (API) work efficiently at scale there are very few providers offering the functionality of automating Video to GIF conversion via a REST API.
However, I found myself in a similar situation recently, did some research and came across two API products that might do the job for you:
giflayer API
This one's a REST API dedicated to converting videos to GIF animations. It works for both video URLs to portals like YouTube, and direct video links like http://website.com/video.mp4.
Here's how you make an API request:
https://apilayer.net/api/capture
? access_key = YOUR_ACCESS_KEY
& url = https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3W6hZR29l5o
& start = 170
& duration = 1.5
Then, after a few seconds the API directly returns your GIF animation according to the parameters supplied in the request:
That's that, now there's also a second service that might fit the requirements stated above:
gfycat While they don't create actual GIFs, they supplement them by converting to HTML5 video, which is more lightweight in size. Just including this link if you're not yet sure whether it's actual GIF conversion you need.
Hope I could help.

I'm looking for headless cms with good support for several languages. It is my first project with headless cms so i tried to find something on my own but i couldn't find solution which i want. I decided to use strapi but it has poor (or maybe i miss something) internalization API. As i saw i can provide multiple language but just for some word's/sentences.
https://strapi.io/documentation/3.0.0-beta.x/guides/i18n.html#usage
But my question is about some solution that can distinguish content built with content builder (some articles etc), or maybe if we cannot achieve that in strapi, is there some other free headless cms with that feature ? I couldn't find that and i've not seen any article about achieving that behaviour.
Best regards and thank You in advance.
contentful has good multi-lingual content support but it's SaaS so you can't host it yourself.
Pricing is based on the number of spaces and users you need, plus a platform fee.
Directus is free (on-prem PHP) or pay (Saas) and supports content in many languages via "translation" fields which are returned as specified by the lang parameter in the API.

I am working on ReactJS for developing a client side of an application, there are very few options available for client side logging as compared to server side on of them which I came across is log4js it has appenders. But are there any other options available? I've used Winston on server side few months ago, can we use such libraries on client side as well? The issue here is I'll have to remove these logs completely before taking this code to production, so I guess I'll use webpack's module for it. But log4js seems to be an overhead so what all alternatives can be used?
I am facing a similar problem at our end. So far I have came across the following options which may be of help:
log Level:
Logs at different levels, easy to setup, somewhat similar to bunyanJs and WinstonJS which are used in the backend Nodejs servers.
loglevel-plugin-remote - extension of log level but pushes logs to server after specified interval. There are in fact quite a few more options there
It has been almost 4 years since I've asked this question, and now looking at the choices available in market we've decided to go ahead with application monitoring/tracking systems such as sentry for logging the event. We can build a wrapper around the SDK of such services and log the events to track the issue.
Another option was to build our own service, but considering the product in mind the maintenance cost of our own service would have been much more, so we sticked with sentry. There are many other similar options available as well for logging on frontend as well as backend.

I am building a user interface in angularjs and I want to test my api signature on some remote server that responds according to the signature.
For example GET request api/DocumentType/GetAll returns a json that I know the format and use .
I have created apis with POSTMAN chrome tool but it test the api not the client.
But me i dont care about the api.I want to test my client for the specific api with specified signature.
So is there any tool that I can create the api format, response and the data to fech so that I can test my UI.
I have also tested json placeholder but it does not support api creation and data hosting. most of all i need the free one
You can use Angular ApiMock to fake an API and focus on the UI code. It works by having a static JSON file in a URL that matches your API somewhat, and then setting a ?apimock=true query on your browser or on individual $http calls so you can easily flip between the real API and mock on any environment.
Check the demo page first without the flag and then with the flag.
(Full disclosure: I'm one of the creators of this library)
Edit: This works well with the other answer because you can reuse the static JSON file for Karma or other test runners.
Try karma + jasmine for front end testing using $httpbackend.
Atmo could be an ideal solution for your requirement.

I need to look up artist/album/track information for song titles.
Is there a free database I could download or a open source web service/api I could use?
Try the last.fm api at http://www.last.fm/api.
If that doesn't work for you, you can look at the various APIs listed in this search result:
http://www.programmableweb.com/category/music/api
This is a Silverlight tutorial, but since this is an HTTP REST API, it could seem agnostic to you to get started: http://www.devx.com/VisualStudio/Article/40158.
I'd go with musicbrainz.
http://musicbrainz.org/doc/XML_Web_Service
http://musicbrainz.org/doc/libmusicbrainz
I would personnally recommend Discogs, which is free and doesn't limit the per day usage. However, it limits the amount of requests to one per second per IP address.
The API is quite clear and documented. It uses JSON over HTTP, and has wrappers for various programming environnements (Python, Ruby, Perl, .NET, PHP).
Plus, it has data about a massive amount of artists, releases and labels.
Yes! The Echo Nest. Pretty hot startup outside Boston that just got more funding. Their API lets you search by artist, album, track, and more.
FreeDB is free, but may or may not have an API. It is user-generated content.
http://www.freedb.org/
And apparently Gracenote is the new CDDB (but probably not free). I guess they finally figured out that they didn't want to limit their database to CDs.

What video analytics tools shall I use?
I need to track:
. Start / Stop / Pause, etc
. Bandwidth
. Bytes downloaded
among others.
Right now, due to current technology, there aren't any tracking tools out there that reliably track the various video players out there. Most embedded video players are encapsulated and offer little to nothing that javascript can listen for.
Currently the best way to the sort of metrics you are asking for is to put your video inside a flash object and hook actionscript to whatever events you want to track (like clicks on the start, stop, etc...). When the event happens, actionscript would then make a call to a javascript function on the page that triggers whatever variables you want to track, passing whatever value for the event.
The actual coding would vary depending on what version of actionscript you are using and what tracking tool you are using, but it's the same principle regardless.
Omniture SiteCatalyst currently offers an actionscript module built for this sort of thing, so you don't have to build it from the ground up if you go with them (and it's actually done completely within actionscript so you don't even need to throw javascript into the mix).
But building it from the ground up with other tools like Google Analytics or Yahoo Web Analytics is still fairly easy, assuming you have the access and resources to build your movie within a flash object.
Longtail Video offers a Google Analytics Pro plugin for their JW Player. Version 2 supports analytics tracking on HTML5 and Flash videos.
