How to code 1 week free trial in chrome extension? - google-chrome-extension

I am new to chrome extension development. I am trying to add the feature of giving a 1-week free trial to my users and then ask them to pay a monthly subscription.
I want to know what should I code so that my users are able to use my extension for a week and are asked to pay for it. I read the google tutorials regarding the Licensing API but was not able to comprehend it. Please help me out.
Thanks in advance.

Is it still possible to create a paid extension

In the Web Store Developer Dashboard, I see no way to set the price for an extension I am uploading. Am I missing something? Or is it no longer possible to create a paid extension? I saw an article saying they were removing paid extensions in January but there are still paid extensions on the store.
I got an email yesterday from chromewebstore-dev-support#google.com that included this info:
Chrome Web Store payments - We are disabling the ability to create new paid items or add payments to existing items. This includes extensions, themes, apps, and in-app purchases.
Here is the full text of the email:
Dear Developer,
We want to tell you about impending changes to the Chrome Web Store as
a result of the COVID-19 situation.
Given adjusted work schedules due to these unprecedented times, there
may be some temporary limitations and delays in support in some cases:
Delay in publishing - New versions submitted to the Store will take longer to be reviewed and published.
Delay in responses to appeals - If you appeal an item rejection or removal, or appeal an account suspension, expect the response to be
delayed. However, we will respond to every appeal request and we will
get back to you as soon as we can.
Delay in developer account transfers - If you are transferring your extension to a different account, expect a significant increase
in the time taken to complete the transfer.
Delay in general support - If you are trying to reach out to our support team for issues related to your account(s) or extension(s),
expect a delayed response from our team. We will get back to you as
soon as we can.
Chrome Web Store payments - We are disabling the ability to create new paid items or add payments to existing items. This includes
extensions, themes, apps, and in-app purchases.
You can help by making sure that your extensions comply with the
Developer program policies before you submit them. Refer to these
resources for more information:
Help center articles

We understand that these changes may cause inconvenience, and we
apologize for any interruption of service. Thank you for your support
during this challenging time and for your participation in the Chrome
extension ecosystem.

Get back deleted data from switching from business to personal account and back again to business account

During a bug investigation on Instagram app, we tried to associate a Facebook page to an existing Instagram Business creator account. For some reason we had only a "Something went wrong error, please try again later" for days.
We also tried to do it from a new account when we just switched to business account and it worked! So later we tried on our existing account because it's this one that we need to test (but it's a real account from one of our coworker) to switch back to a personal account in order to start the process over.
Unfortunately we did it without being really careful about the grey message that says it will lose content from promotions (we were not even aware about what this is).
Then we switched again to business account and tried to link our Facebook page and it worked. So it clearly fixed the bug that we had to connect our Facebook page.
Nevertheless, a couple hours later, our coworker came to us very scared and told us that she lost all the insights from her previous posts and she really needs it for her other work..
Is there any chance that we can get back this data, and if so how?
This website is for all developers - but I doubt the developers you need to see this are not going to see this. We really don't know how to help you in this case because we (as a community - not as individuals) do not manage any of the instagram or facebook code. These problems will have to be solved using the help provided on their platforms.

Integration : Chrome web store and slack

I was searching for a way to get some information from chrome webstore (I have couple of extensions there) specifically feedbacks from users and user count. And I would like to do something with that data.
I searched about chrome web store API
but couldn't find anything.
found launchkit which does same thing, but for appStore
I am thinking there is no straight way to do it, but if anyone has done it or got some idea about it please share it along,
Thanks in advance
A simple google tells me there are already some possible helpful answers:
Get user feedbacks
How to get user feedback/bug reports on a Chrome Extension through itself?
Get user count
API call for user count in Chrome Web Store?
The closest I can find out is chromebeat and my extensions I would have to figure out how this works without an existing API and write my own after that I guess.

How to count all comments to a Instagram profile?

Trying to working with some API's. Didnt find out how to count all comments were was posted to a custom Instagram profile. How to do it?
And also, there is no some extended analytics/statistics? Like YouTube API have, gross/loss followers, likes periods etc.
There are a few easy ways to do this -- if you're more comfortable working in Excel, you can easily export your Instagram analytics to Excel and isolate for comments there.
I think this tool comes with a free trial: http://www.crowdbabble.com/blog/export-your-instagram-analytics-to-excelcsv-reports/
