API and Documentation - nest-api

I just enrolled as a nest developer and have been reading through the API and Documentation. I have seen the endpoint's and process required to sign in, however I've been unable to find what end points are required to access data on the various devices? Most of the API and Documentation seems to focus on Firebase.
Searching for the answer shows a lot of older (2 years) projects that are probably out of date

The endpoint begins at https://developer-api.nest.com/
Data is accessed at a path after that url. So, if you just want devices, your endpoint is https://developer-api.nest.com/devices
Just thermostats? https://developer-api.nest.com/devices/thermostats
And so on. If you look at the reference api, you can see the paths

Is it allowed to use this link (https://www.instagram.com/[username]/?__a=1)

at the moment I am working on a Instagram implementation for the homepage of my school.
My problem was, that I didn’t got access to the account, so I couldn’t generate an access token (which all free joomla plugins need).
So I have decided to write my own plugin (I am not the best programmer, but it works), because of that I found this link (https://www.instagram.com/[username]/?__a=1) where I could get the JSON of the public page without the need of any token or ID.
My question is if I am allowed to use it or not (because I can’t find this link in the official api)?
We've built a small API that scrapes exactly that data and presents it to you via JSON:
https://apinsta.herokuapp.com/u/<username>
(In case you are still interested in this)
This URL closed by instagram on 14 April. You can get user's information json with this link:
https://i.instagram.com/api/v1/users/USER_ID/info/
Also you can find user ID like this:
Go to the https://www.instagram.com/USERNAME/
Look source code and find this code:
"id":"
You'll see the user ID between quotes.
Good luck.

How do I fetch my own Instagram media feed

I have a use case that Instagram does not seem to acknowledge. I am hoping that someone else has an idea for what I can do.
The website that I am maintaining has been using the API endpoint:
https://www.instagram.com/anyUser/media/
And I am aware that Instagram has recently stopped supporting this endpoint. So I am looking for a replacement.
My use case is that I do not want to allow the users of my website to authenticate and browse their own photos. Instead I want to show only the latest 20 images that "I" (aka my employer) have posted, one at a time in a loop.
Instagram's API documentation seems to be entirely focused on the use case of allowing users to authenticate and share their photos.
Is there an API call that will return the last 20 images that I have posted?
From its specs, the Sandbox will work fine for me, I cannot find a way to register with Instagram that does not require me to build a user authentication work flow that will NEVER be used.
You would want to use self feed endpoint.

YouTube Data API LiveChatId assistance

I've looked online for quite some time now, and I have come up empty. I am working in C#, and I am trying to locate the code I can use to get the liveChatId so I can post to livestream chat. Even the "Try it now" section of Google's example resource https://developers.google.com/youtube/v3/live/docs/liveChatMessages/list#try-it asks for the liveChatId as well. I know I need to make a HTTP GET request, but I really need the actual code that will allow me to do this.
Assistance is GREATLY appreciated.
Here, from the very documentation you provided:
The liveChatId parameter specifies the ID of the chat whose messages will be returned. The live chat ID associated with a broadcast is returned in the liveBroadcast resource's snippet.liveChatId property.
That means you first need to get your liveBroadcast resource. You can obtain those at the liveBroadcasts.list endpoint. If you want to retrieve broadcasts that you (or a user of your application) is the owner of, you might consider authenticating with OAuth 2.0 and using the mine parameter.

Instagram API posting likes rate limit

I created an iOS app that using Instagram API and have a critical issue posting likes to Instagram.
Using endpoint – POST /media/media-id/likes, with user-specific access token. I request scope – likes from users.
Instagram API works fine for all requests except saving likes. We can only save/post a couple hundred likes to Instagram, and then response is "We've taken extra measures to protect the Instagram API from abnormal activity. Since you have recently created your API application, please contact apidevelopers#instagram.com to receive whitelisting for a higher rate limit."
There is other developers with same issue with no support or any feedback waiting for months.
Please, let me know if there is limits and how it works, or how to become whitelisted
I don’t want to create many Instagram API clients and assign users among them. It seems like bad acting for me, if there is official API with strict limits I want to work with it.
Instagram has new API limits: 100 likes/hr 60 follows/unfollows/hr per access token. That is only if you authenticate serverside and sign your headers. Check out the new authentication: http://instagram.com/developer/authentication/
I'm using it for my new site that automates likes/follows/unfollows, haven't had any problems works great. Check it out: http://instapromobiz.com
Instagram takes increased measures to limit your API requests based on IP address. This is not common knowledge, it's just something I've come to know from working with the API extensively.
They've built an API that is FAR from perfect, but have been upgrading it to be "smart". Smart enough to know that a newer client, pinging the API many times just for one user, may very well be a script kiddie trying to bot the system. For this reason, they do not give you a rate limit error, they politely say "we have taken extra measures to protect our API from being spammed by bots".
The good news is, other users should still be able to access your liking mechanism. Just not you, from that IP.

Endpoint for getting friends who have been to a venue

The website has had for some time now a section that shows friends who have been to a certain venue, yet I do not see an endpoint for getting this information.
Is such an endpoint in the works or is this considered a privacy issue like friends history even though they're both on the website???
There is no API endpoint with this functionality yet. There's a variety of reasons for why this is the case, but the primary one is that it hasn't hit the top of our priority stack just yet (this element of the website was not built off of the API)
