Etsy on order feed - etsy

Is there a good way to receive information when customer makes an order?
Judging from the documentation, there isn't. I know there are some apps related to managing payments on Etsy, and I believe they would depend on order feed.
If Etsy does not provide such feed, how would you solve this?
My first idea is to periodically poll the API and request the orders. From there, understand if new order/s happened.
Your help is appreciated.

FYI see https://github.com/etsy/open-api/issues/28 - [FEATURE] New real time feeds/suscriptions #28
Doesn't seem to be implemented yet, but that's probably the place to track it.

Not the best answer, but I'm trying to do the same thing right now. What I'm doing is collecting the transaction ID from the email associated with the Etsy account.
With the transaction ID you can request for the details from Etsy. I'm still trying to figure how to do that myself though.

Currently, there is no straight forward, documented way to subscribe to the "new order created" event. I was hoping this would be one of the must have features on the new API v3, but unfortunately it isn't implemented so far.

Parse detecting db changes

I am using Parse in my iOS App and was wondering if it had a way for my app to get notified when a db change is made. I saw some outdated documentation that indicated there was a Parse.Cloud function but it does not seem to exist.
More recently I saw something about Parse.observeValue but cannot find any example of how to use it and I cannot seem to get it to work.
Does anyone in the Parse community know anything about this and maybe have a code snippet that shows how to perform such a function?
I have a table that keeps comments for users and I wanted to get notified when a comment is made. For example, if user 1 adds a comment on their device I was hoping that user 2 could get a notification so the the app for user 2 could reload any new comments.
Hope this makes sense... as usual any help is greatly appreciated!!
Parse provides afterSave triggers in cloud code. Those, in conjunction with push notifications would provide -- with a little latency -- a way to detect db change at the client.
If you really need this to work comprehensively and fast, I think the best alternative is google firebase.

Add Last Login to Users api call

Our customer wants to see a report of all their current users' last login dates, but I couldn't find a way to get that information from the current API:
http://docs.valence.desire2learn.com/res/user.html
It's a little frustrating, because it's so easy to get this data in the UI itself:
Is there any way we can get that data through the API? Thanks!
Currently, there is no way to get this information via an API call; however, you are not the first person to inquire about this, and I suspect it's on D2L's list of improvement items for their developer platform.

Method of integrating a certain persons Twitter account into iOS App

In my app so far, I have to implement all the Twitter posts from a certain individual into a table view, and it automatically updates when the person tweets a certain post. Is it possible to mention a certain individual e.g. #John.. If it is possible, how can I do it? If not just let me know and I will delete this question as it could be too ambitious. Thanks!
I don't quite understand what you mean. I do a little!
There is a quick and easy way of doing this! One easy way is to use Twitters own SDK called Fabric. See Here
See this link for the timeline stuff and integration to your app Documentation
This should help you out!
P.S. Let me know how you get on!

Facebook Graph API changed results from /posts today?

I have an iOS app that has been fetching the user's Facebook status updates and location checkins using "/me/posts" for several months. After today's "breaking changes" update, "/me/posts" only returns recent "Like"s. It looks like "/me/statuses" and "/me/checkins" are the new proper places to check for these things. I guess that makes sense, but I saw no documentation anywhere describing these changes or saying that they would happen today. The original documentation about what is specifically returned from the graph API also seems pretty slim.
So my questions are: is this an official change to the API? Where was it specified? Where should I look so I can stay on top of these things and not have my app break for hundreds of users?
Perhaps more importantly: are "/me/statuses" and "/me/checkins" the new proper ways to get this information? Or is there something else?
Always good to keep a (sharp) eye on the Developer Roadmap. These types of changes happen often, but FB usually does a good job of calling them out ahead of time. You've answered your own question as far as whether or not it's an "official" change - you're seeing it in the wild - insofar as how Facebook works, it's official.
Try using the Graph API Explorer. It could be an access token issue.
FYI: I see a similar issue with my application, and I am able retrieve the posts only when I use the Graph API Explorer and the token I get from there.
Update: I found where some of the problems lived. In the app profile in Facebook, pick "Edit Settings" and then go to "Advanced" where you'll see a section called "Migrations". This is mostly switches to show compatibility for various "breaking changes" updates, but it also includes an option for "Include Checkins with Statuses".
Now I know where to look, things are making a bit more sense.

Possible to add attendee via api?

Prior to making an elance job ad, I'm hoping to confirm it's possible to add an attendee to an event via the eventbrite api. As a non-programmer it's not at all clear in reading the dev eventbrite site that this is in fact possible. Here is what I want to do:
Create an event in Eventbrite
(and get the event id or whatever is needed)
Create a product in Infusionsoft
(using event id from eventbrite)
Upon product sale in Infusionsoft, make an http post with information similar to:
http://eventbrite-api-sample.com/ (add attendee command)?(event id command)?(customer name, email, etc)
Happily let eventbrite do it's thing in regards to reminders, checking, followup!
I apologize if my question is obvious! Thanks for any help! If this seems doable my hope is to make an elance job ad and provide the developer resource page for eventbrite!

Based on my research and attempts to work with the API, it seems unlikely Eventbrite will ever open up that option. Importing attendees and using API to add attendees is crippled, likely so that no one uses their own site/payment processing to circumvent Eventbrite fees.
It looks like this is not possible to create a new attendee through the API. Their workflow page also suggests this:
http://developer.eventbrite.com/doc/workflows/#orders
This is not currently a feature available through the API, but there is an option to add attendees manually through the UI. Instructions are here: http://help.eventbrite.com/customer/en_us/portal/articles/428370-add-attendees-manually
