So I've been looking around for answers but haven't been able to find any up to date solutions to my problem. So my use case is pretty simple, I want to be able to check the online status of a list of users at my organisation using Skype for Business. Opening chats with them is simple enough, but actually getting the online status has shown to be a challenge.
I've been looking into the SDK but it seems a bit over the top for my use case, and I haven't been able to get web ticket authentication working (I'm implementing this in an Electron app). Even if I got that far, would I have to make an account with specifically only the contacts I need added and use that as authentication?
Sorry if this is a stupid question, but it seems like the SDK/API is a bit over my level and I'm missing something. Do I need to add in my own server middleware between the node/electron-app and their API or something similar maybe?
Any help is greatly appreciated.

I have created an OData Service using .Net 6 / OData 8 and am trying to authenticate using Organisational Account in Excel. I can test the authentication sucesfully in Postman and also in my web App that uses the authenticated service.
However, if I try and create an OData Feed in Excel and authenticate using [Organisational Account], I get an error "We were unable to connect because this credential type isn't supported for this resource.".
Microsoft seems to indicate that it is not supported to connect to "arbitrary" services per the following link.
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/power-query/connectors/odatafeed#authenticating-to-arbitrary-services
However, this is a pretty big limitation and I'm interested to know if anyone has been able to solve this problem yet.
I won't go into the configuration of my web api, suffice it to say that I have tried every possible combination of builder.Services.AddAuthentication()..... that I can find and they all seem to have a similar issue - ie. I can use the WebApi for everything that I need it for - except Excel.
A quick Google search gets many, many hits (and I think that I have read them all - ..... twice), but try as I might I haven't yet found one that has an answer that works.
The following link showed some promise, which indicated it might be possible to change the audiencce, but I could not make it work.

I did find another promising link that I can't seem to find again that indicated we could add the Office 365 Client Id to the list of Authorised Client Applications under Expose an Api of the app registration in Azure AD B2C. I did that, with not success.
I'm really at my wits end on this and have been trying to get a solution on and off the last couple of weeks. Would really appreciate any help from others who might have tried and succeeded at this.
Confirming that I have now worked out how to do this and have posted the solution to the following SO thread. connecting-excel-to-oauth-api-on-azure
There are a number of steps to the solutions, so won't attempt to summarise them here.
I'd like to automatize some processes that are not yet available through API(Google Classroom), like posting comments on announcements, seeing private comments on my work and so on. I have trouble accessing my account. I'd like the app to be able to run on a server. I'm currently working with node.js, but if there is an easier approach I'll gladly accept it (free if it's possible). Can you give me an example of how it's done because currently, I am struggling to find every button that needs to be clicked on?
Unfortunately, there are no methods right now to accomplish that. You can leave a feature request on Google Issue Tracker describing what methods you would like to use. Google engineers will study your case and, if applicable, they will develop the requested methods.
You could use something like Selenium with your language of choice (Javascript in this case) to automate the browser clicks.
This is however, not the best of ideas... To make Selenium log into your account you will need to hardcode your password somewhere.
Google services use Oauth for authentication, take a look at the Classroom API Getting-started for instructions on how to work with Google Classroom API.
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.
I am very confused as to how the API of DocuSign works, I tried looking it up here:
https://www.docusign.com/p/RESTAPIGuide/RESTAPIGuide.htm
But that didn't help me much, especially not because I need to implement DocuSign into the open source version of Vtiger.
Does anybody here know a site where I can learn more about DocuSign and how I can combine it with Vtiger open source?
As for what I already tried that is nothing, I first need to make a functional design which is kind of hard to do when you don't even understand the basic API.
I would really appreciate it.
I have never worked with an API before, so this is all new for me.
Have you tried the API overview instead of the reference guide? Check this out:
https://www.docusign.com/developer-center/api-overview
You can also look at the API Recipes to see some starting examples of what you can do in any language. I believe VTiger is written in PHP so you can find the PHP code to copy and paste to get you started.
Hope You all are fine and also in one of your best of moods.
I have an issue with twitter status updating.
As I am using oAuth API for Twitter Integration in my iPhone, I found a sample code , and run it. code is quite useful, but i found the functionality for updating status is not working, and functionality of getting status works.
I found sample code from the link :
http://github.com/jaanus/PlainOAuth
I have tried lot, before posting this issue here. kindly have a look and help me out to solve the issue.
Looking Forwards.
Arun Thakkar.
Not sure what the specific problem is, but I remember having to do a fair amount of head-banging to get Twitter OAuth to work.
Nevertheless, I have a working implementation in one of my public GitHub projects. Feel free to use it—apps based on it have already been approved into the App Store.
