I want to create an iOS app that can show the bike stations and their availability(how many bikes are available in each station) from a website and I want to know how can I do it (which request?...)
There are plenty of ways you can do that.
First you should investigate if the BIKE Data Website offers a Web Service that you can utilize ? I suspect not. Then you create your Own Web service (I think it will be ideal to create REST - http/JSON) type service since that is lighter in comparison to the SOAP.
In your Service You will need to do a HTTP Request on the URL where the data is, html will be returned from the page, then look through the html and parse and get the data you need and return values to your app.
I hope this provides a pointer.
Thanks

I am working on an App where i Get Date. I don't want to use System date. I searched stack overlflow and found this link
Get time from remote server for ios app
But the solution given in the link states "This is a work in progress"
Is there any simple Framework for iOS to get a Date from other frameworks
As you are saying you have remote server, means you must be having the webservice in your app.
If you have webservice, get the time using webservice.
You can use this api. You can get time by providing latitude and longitude.

This may be off topic but if anyone can help or point me in the right direction.....or the correct place to put this question?
Can anyone suggest a good Automated Web Scraping program for use on a windows machine?
I would like to be able to automate the process and set it to be able to "scrape" the site every 5 mins or so and have the resulting xml exported to another website or database?
If the actual process is taking too long, those 10 seconds or more likely to being the network latency rather than actual parsing and scraping its self. If that is the case, you probably want to have them executing in parallel rather than sequentially if you have not already done so.
It would help if you had a more specific issue as there is several ways about going about this. You could have it still parsing on the phone. If that is too problematic for whatever reason, in my opinion, I would instead build a separate HTTP REST server for the phone client to have it interact with to get the data it requires.
There is many ways about going about this, and these are simply recommendations. If you want a more specific answer, you'll need a more specific question. Consider then asking a more speific programming issue if you run into one.

I currently use parse.com to manage users. They have a great API, decent backend for me to manage stuff. But I'd prefer to host my own data.
The server backend, I could whip that up in php very easily. But I'm struggling to find a decent library/framework on the iOS side of things to replicate what Parse's framework does.
To do things like easy login/logout, having a user 'cached' with a saved file, easy to use methods for using blocks to send data in the background. Any clues as to where to look or what to search for to find a similar open source library that I can integrate with my own systems?

I need to use Python to download tweets (probably in the order of the tens of thousands) from past periods. Should I use the streaming API? Do you have any reference to suggest? Thanks
Streaming API do not deal with past periods, you should use search/tweets. Be aware of fact that it returns up to 3200 tweets. Also, from the docs
Search API is not meant to be an exhaustive source of Tweets. Not all
Tweets will be indexed or made available via the search interface.
For the reference, list libraries to deal with API can be found there.
Like they said, you cannot retrieve past tweets from their streaming API. You can try to look for free datasets like these ones (but it is quite difficult that the dataset that you find fits your needs):

I currently have an application that works on my iPad,So when i save a particular project then it has to save and sync across all my iDevices,how do i acheive that? what api's are available?
Thanks
it depends on your requirement.
you can use iCloud for syncing the data/files all the iOS devices user has authenticated with the same account.
but if you want to sync within the app data according the user profile, like user has two devices and login with two different accounts then in that case you can use your own server to sync data manually by your APIs.
