Is Stream Chat API HIPAA and GDPR Compliant? - getstream-io

We are looking for a Chat SDK and need it to be both HIPAA and GDPR compliant. However I can't seem to find information on whether or not Stream is HIPAA/GDPR compliant on their website. Could someone answer this for me and/or point me to some documentation? Thanks in advance.

Stream Chat is GDPR compliant and HIPPA ready. We have a GDPR DPA and a BAA that can be attached to enterprise contracts. If you'd like more information or want to explore options please reach out via our talk to an expert form on getstream.io. Thanks!

Instagram live video streaming API

I'm looking for the solution to upload live video streaming via Instagram SDK.
I have read the doc here, but It seems very basic APIs they are providing.
Is it possible to start live video streaming on Instagram via SDK/APIs?
Thank you.
TL;DR: no IG API, origin policy is the IG app itself.
I know for the moment I they don't plan on offering that functionality, though I expect chat API to come through by the end of the year or in 2019, unless there's a major overhaul of the Live section of the app.
IG Live is an experience made for the typical Instagram use case (mobile phone with the app installed, a camera and internet connection).
Considering the recent release of IG TV, there's definitely a chance they're looking at extending APIs as tech companies generally support programmatic content gymnastics.
You can integrate your software/service with 3d party service called Instafeed.me
Here is the API documentation. You can create/start/stop broadcast, get stats/heartbeat, comments etc.

Is it allowed to use the Spotify Web API for commercial projects?

I have a simple question concerning the Spotify Web API.
Is it legal to retrieve data from this service as a base for my app which then should be commercial?
Without going too much into detail: I use the information to present the user an extra service based on this information.
Any help is highly appreciated!
Bye
According to https://developer.spotify.com/developer-terms-of-use/#section-iv-restrictions
commercial uses are not permitted for Streaming SDAs
Reading further,
following are the only commercial uses of Non-Streaming SDAs
sale of advertising, sponsorships, or promotions on the Non-Streaming SDA or Website;
sale of, or sale of access to, a Non-Streaming SDA (including any e-commerce initiated via the Non-Streaming SDA);
You should better carefully read whole terms of use and consider your use case.

Will Instagram's API allow a web app to send, respond, and archive DMs?

I am interested in building a tool that allows business to manage DMs from a web app.
I'm wondering if anyone has any experience working with Instagram's API in this capacity, and if so, whether there is any red tape to be aware of.
I very much appreciate the insights!
Currently, there is no API for Instagram DMs. There has been no mention of opening up in the future, either.

Is possible to acces the waveform of a song from a spotify app?

I am thinking on how to build an spotify app that does beat detection (extract bpm of a song).
For that I need to access the raw audio, the waveform, and analyze it.
I am new to building spotify apps.
I know that with "libspotify" you can access raw audio. Can you do the same through the spotify apps API? And how?
For the record, currently exist two spotify apps apis:
Current
Preview
Unless you're really keen on writing that beat detection code yourself, you should look at the APIs provided by the EchoNest, which include that (and many other awesome things).
see Getting the tempo, key signature, and other audio attributes of a song
In a word: no. That isn't currently available in the Apps API.
There’s a new endpoint I guess. See an example https://medium.com/swlh/creating-waveforms-out-of-spotify-tracks-b22030dd442b?source=linkShare-962ec94337a0-1616364513
That uses the endpoint https://developer.spotify.com/documentation/web-api/reference/tracks/get-audio-analysis/
Edit: I agree with commenter #wizbcn that this does not answer this question. Is it sort of incorrect to leave it here because I found this SO post while searching for info about visualizing the tack's waveform as in the linked article? Maybe I should make this a comment instead?

Is there a free PlayReady server available?

I am trying to do an experiment with encrypted Microsoft smooth streaming streams.
And i have a IIS server with transform manager installed. However, i wonder is there a free PlayReady server available online for testing?
It can be a trial or functionality limited version.
I just want to do a quick POC before invest more into this.
I found a service provider list on Microsoft PlayReady site: http://www.microsoft.com/playready/licensing/asp/
But none of them seems to provide any form of free trial.
Does anybody know any service i can use? or is there an alternative way of applying DRM to smooth streaming?
UPDATE:
Thanks all for the answers, and thanks to Sander, i have actually found one usable:
http://playready.directtaps.net/pr/doc/slee/
FYI
A time-limited free trial of SilverHD DRM is available for commercial users - the contact details to get a trial account are on the website. The free trial includes access to a PlayReady and Windows Media DRM license server and all the licensing related functionality that goes along with that. Disclaimer: I work for Axinom who provides the SilverHD DRM service.
Alternatively, Microsoft has a public PlayReady test server that you can use for free. Basically, it will always provide a persistent license in response to any license request made to it. Not very flexible and the URL query string customization options tend to not actually work, but maybe it suits your needs?
If you describe your needs in more detail, I might be able to offer more specific advice on how to proceed with evaluating PlayReady.
2019-01-09 update:
New Microsoft Test Playready Server can be used for testing. Please note this does not secure keys as it's given in laurl request(base64). See example below.
kid=43215678123412341234123412341234
key=12341234123412341234123412341234
playready=https://test.playready.microsoft.com/service/rightsmanager.asmx?cfg=(kid:header,sl:2000,persist:false,firstexp:60,contentkey:EjQSNBI0EjQSNBI0EjQSNA==)
(edit 2019-06-06) License url for older devices without a time-policy feature drop firstexp attribute.
playready=https://test.playready.microsoft.com/service/rightsmanager.asmx?cfg=(kid:header,sl:2000,persist:false,contentkey:EjQSNBI0EjQSNBI0EjQSNA==)
I must admit I've not looked closely at this but have you checked out Azure Media Services?
They have a free trial and it looks like they support PlayReady and a bunch of other things.
Doesn't look like they have a "portal" at the moment (coming in future release), so you have to do the uploading etc. with code.
Here are some test streams you could use to test your PlayReady implementation:
