We are attempting to build free/busy calendars on our website for our Adobe Connect seminar rooms using data provided by the Adobe Connect API.
Our first attempt used sco-session-seminar-list. This returned data in the expected format and seemed to work perfectly. However, upon review we found that many existing sessions were not being returned. Some of the rooms do not have the API user setup as a host or presenter, so I suspect that may be causing a problem, though the user can see these sessions in the admin which indicates to me that they should have access.
We then tried report-bulk-objects. This did return all seminars as desired. However, it hits the reporting database which means that seminars created in the last 24 hours may not appear. Worse, it does not appear that there is any way to filter by room (or parent sco-id) using this method.
I cannot find any other relevant methods in the API documentation that would work better than the above two for our needs. However, it seems like a free/busy calendar should be a relatively common use of the API.
We finally found a non-intuitively named function that worked for this sort of information:
url="http://#AdobeConnectUrl#/api/xml
name="action" value="sco-expanded-contents">
name="sco-id" value="#roomID#">
name="filter-gte-date-begin" value="2015-01-01">
name="filter-lte-date-begin" value="2015-01-08">
This function will also work for a more informational calendar as it returns details other than just the start and end times (such as the seminar name). It pulls all sessions that occur under the sco-id requested, including those in subfolders. It also runs in real-time.

We're looking for a way to get a list of all currently active PSTN calls being made into MS Teams. We've tried this:
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/graph/api/callrecords-callrecord-getpstncalls?view=graph-rest-beta
That's almost exactly what we need except records do not seem to appear here until the call has ended. What we need for the app we're trying to build is live call records.
We've also tried it by creating subscriptions and getting the ID of specific calls then looking up call records, but this data also appears to be delayed.
Is there a method we're missing here, or equally, is this something that may be added to the API some point soon?
Currently there is no graph API to get a list of active PSTN calls in Teams.
Microsoft will always focus on customer’s feedback and experience, some new features would be added to the services based on customers' feedback in the future, we also recommend you give your new idea in Teams UserVoice here.
They clearly mentioned in the document, we can not fetch the details directly. But you can fetch the records from your application. Using app side bearer token.
I am trying to put together analytics on Microsoft teams calls. I would like to get hold times, number of transfers, call time, etc. I came across this call https://graph.microsoft.com/beta/communications/callRecords and it gives me a list of calls with call times, but I can't find a way to get hold times, what line it came in on, etc. Greatly appreciate any pointers.
First of all, this end point https://graph.microsoft.com/beta/communications/callRecords only allows you to query a single call record using its ID, it does not support querying a list of call records for the whole tenant or for a specific user.
The only way currently to find this ID to query the call record is by setting up a web hook to receive change notifications. Refer to the following documentation for more info on change notifications.
To directly address your question, i am not one hundred percent sure but i believe the information you're looking for could be found inside the list of sessions and segments inside a call record.
I am using the Twitter public stream API to search for some keywords. I am writing my script in Java and therefore I use twitter4j. Now I stumbled over the information about status deletion notices:
Status deletion notices (delete)
These messages indicate that a given Tweet has been deleted. Client
code must honor these messages by clearing the referenced Tweet from
memory and any storage or archive, even in the rare case where a
deletion message arrives earlier in the stream that the Tweet it
references.
https://dev.twitter.com/docs/streaming-apis/messages#Status_deletion_notices_delete
So I created methods to remove records from my database when such a notice occurs. Unfortunately such a notice never occurs. I searched to find out what I am doing wrong and found some posts in the twitter developer section concerning the same problem:
https://dev.twitter.com/discussions/17393
https://dev.twitter.com/discussions/19943
https://dev.twitter.com/issues/1355
https://dev.twitter.com/discussions/12836
but unfortunately all these discussions got no answer. So for me it seems like I did no mistake with my code but twitter4j never sends me an deletion notice.
I want to respect the privacy of the twitter users - at least for legal reasons. So my question is:
What can I do to respect the privacy of the users ?
What do I have to do to satisfy my legal duties ?
One alternative seems to be to periodically iterate through all saved Tweets in my Database and request them from twitter to see whether I get a result back or not (so they were deleted). But this doesn't seem to be a practicable way because the data will get more and more and therefore at some point of time I will have limitations (in time, allowed twitter requests, ...). So what should I do?
Thanks in advance! Your help is greatly appreciated.

twitter4j v.3.0.6
Given the nature of the volume of tweets, it's unreasonable to assume that you would check to see if all the tweets are still there. You should make sure that you properly act on a delete notice from twitter. The onus is on them to actually send the delete notification.
That being said, I receive delete notifications from twitter. However, we aren't using the public stream, we are using sitestreams, which relies on authorizing specific social accounts and streaming all updates for those accounts (e.g. favorites, follows, blocks, tweets, retweets, etc) to us in realtime.
If you are doing a stream with filters, for example, it's probably not feasible (or at least very taxing) to run all deleted items through the same pipeline as new items. Or perhaps, to guess at which you were sent based on the times that you were running your filter.
As noted in the issue you linked to, the public streaming API will not necessarily send them out. I'd endeavor to handle them, and possibly provide a tool to manually remove any if a request comes in through another channel, but not worry too much about it, given that twitter doesn't provide the proper facility to be notified of such instances.
I need to develop an application which should help me in getting all the status,messages from different servers like Twitter,facebook etc in my application and also when i post a message it should gets updated in all the services. I am using authlogic for authentication. Can anyone suggest me what gems/plug-ins i can use..
I need API help to get all the tweets/messages to be displayed in my application and also ways to post the messages to the corresponding services by posting it from my application. Can anyone help me from design point.
Walk through what you'd want to do in your head. Imagine the working site, imagine your webapp working before you start. So your user logs in (handled by authlogic) and sees a textbox called "What are you doing right now?". The user fills in a status message and clicks "post". The status message appears at the top of their previously posted messages.
Start with the easy part. Create a class that posts to two services. Use the twitter gem and rfacebook to post to two already defined services. In the future, you'll want to let the user associate services to their account and you would iterate through the associated services and post the message to each. Once you have this working, you can refactor or polish the UI a bit to round out this feature. I personally would do the "add a social media account to my profile" feature towards the end.
Harder is the reading of the data (strangely enough) because you're going to have to figure out how to store it. You could store nothing but I suspect you'd run into API limits just searching all the time (could design around this). I would keep a little cache of posts associated to the user's social media account. In this way, the data model would look like this:
A user has many social media accounts.
A social media account has many posts. (cache)
Of course, now you need to schedule the caching of the posts. This could be done manually, based on an event (like when they login) or time based. So when the update happens, you load up the posts for that social media account and the user will see the posts the next time they hit the page. For real-time push to the client's browser while they stare at the screen, use faye (non-trivial) and ajax to pull the new posts to the top of the social media stream view.
The time based one is tricky because you'd either have to have a cron job run or have rails handle it all with a gem like clockwork. But then you have to leave rails running. I've also solved this by having a class in /lib do all the work and a simple web call kicks off the update. But it wasn't in a multi-user use case. So that might not work. In any case, you'll want to have some nice reusable code for these problems since update requests can come from many different sources.
You'll also have to deal with the API limits. When pulling down content from twitter, you won't get everything. That will just have to be known by the user or you'll have to indicate a "break in time" somehow.
The UI should be pretty easy (functionally anyway), because you know which source the post/content is coming from. It'd be easy to throw a little icon next to the post to display which social media site it's coming from.
Anyway, good luck, sounds like a fun project.
I'm going to attempt to create an open project which compares the most common MP3 download providers.
This will require a user to enter a track/album/artist name i.e. Deadmau5 this will then pull the relevant prices from the API's.
I have a few questions that some of you may have encountered before:
Should I have one server side page that requests all the data and it is all loaded simultaneously. If so, how would you deal with timeouts or any other problems that may arise. Or should the page load, then each price get pulled in one by one (ajax). What are your experiences when running a comparison check?
The main feature will to compare prices, but how can I be sure that the products are the same. I was thinking running time, track numbers but I would still have to set one source as my primary.
I'm making this a wiki, please add and edit any issues that you can think of.
Thanks for your help. Look out for a future blog!
I would check amazon first. they will give you a SKU (the barcode on the back of the album, I think amazon calls it an EAN) If the other providers use this, you can make sure they are looking at the right item.
I would cache all results into a database, and expire them after a reasonable time. This way when you get 100 requests for Britney Spears, you don't have to hammer the other sites and slow down your application.
You should also make sure you are multithreading whatever requests you are doing server side. Curl for instance allows you to pull multiple urls, and assigns a user defined callback. I'd have the callback send a some data so you can update your page with as the results come back. GETTUNES => curl callback returns some data for each url while connection is open that you parse it on the client side.
