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.

I want to know the real difference between Agora and Webrtc? What did I know Agora provides you SDK for different platforms for video, audio calls, and chats and it charges you accordingly, it provides 10,000 minutes free monthly and charges you if you exceed, Webrtc is a Web Real-Time communication that provides you different API to implememt in your app or web to have video, audio or chats in free & unlimited? Am I Right? If yes then why people would use agora and pay money when they have free WebRTC with unlimited audio videos calls and chats for a long time? pls guide your help will be appreciated
I do not know much about WebRTC pls help me out thanks in advance
This is similar to saying that you can use HTML5 to build websites but still people pay AWS to host machines, databases, storage, application logic, etc.
WebRTC is a web technology that is part of HTML5 and is implemented by all modern browser. To make it work, you will need to create websites, install servers, pay for media traffic, optimize your code - you can do it on your own (and pay the cloud hosting vendors for their service) or you can use a third party that offers that as a managed service for you - like Agora and others that do it, where you end up paying to them for their efforts.
To decide which approach is for you, I can suggest two things:
Build a simple demo app with WebRTC. One where you understand what the code does. If you are happy with it and truly understand what goes on - make the decision if you want to continue in that route or use a 3rd party
Just go use Agora or other 3rd parties and pay them. WebRTC isn't rocket science but it isn't simple either
Agora and similar APIs provide a layer on top of WebRTC. They aim to make it easier for developers to leverage WebRTC capabilities without having to build everything themselves from scratch.
Devs who are fine getting into the nitty gritty of WebRTC can indeed do everything themselves, like you say. I recommend trying it! But often, a team or single dev might just want a straightforward way to integrate video/audio into their product without necessarily knowing what an SFU is, how a TURN server works, how to ensure certain data privacy standards, etc. So these kinds of APIs help make WebRTC easier to leverage by doing most of the heavy lifting and letting people focus on all the other important parts of their app. Pricing-wise, there are a few different very good API options that might be more or less affordable depending on the use case.
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.
I apologize for the question but I don't have the resources to figure it out myself.
I'm looking for features my next iOS / android app should have and as you can imagine, I'm interested on a "pinch of social" that's why getsream seems to be my saver.
After reading the getting started section and the documentation, I found this warning http://getstream.io/docs/#mobile that confuses me.
I supposed getstream is a managed service that takes care of everything letting me use the REST API to build my mobile community within their phones.
Could you please tell me where I'm wrong?
Many thanks
There are two main reasons we do not recommend integrating Getstream client side (i.e. in the browser or on mobile). First, it is hard to guarantee security when you integrate from the client-side, you have to somehow provision tokens for each user's feed (and feeds they want to target with activities http://getstream.io/docs/#targetting), you could also generate an application wide (read/write) token and ship this to all clients but this is also a bad idea for obvious reasons. Second, we do not recommend using Getstream to store all your activity data, you store references to objects in your local database and enrich the activities from getstream at read time (have a look at our integration libraries for Django/Rails).
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?
I'm working on a project for teachers and students to be able to have a medium to interact with one another using Azure as a medium for content delivery. However, since this is basically a free service (and a non-profit site), not every teacher can buy a copy of Encoder Pro to encode their streams.
This is where I'm at a crossroads and not sure what path to go down. I want teachers to be able to stream their desktops and interact with students, probably using the MSN chat services or facebook chat services since it's infrastructure that I don't need to pay for. However, additionally the question is how do they capture their desktop? And would Azure be able to convert that into a "smooth streaming" file, so that people with lower bandwith connections can see the stream reliabily? I know Azure can function as a CDN, but I'm not sure if it can do the conversion to live smooth streaming so that students can actually make use of the service.
Any ideas would be helpful.. I'm kind of brainstorming right now and working on the client end of things, but I've slowed down until I can figure out this problem.
Thanks!
To answer part of your question, Azure recently added a Media Services component. It's still in preview mode (free for now). Think of it as a hosted Expression Encoder Pro exposed with a bunch of APIs. For more info https://www.windowsazure.com/en-us/develop/net/how-to-guides/media-services/
