I would like to use the Google Fit API for a medical app in France. The Google Fit data would only be used for the fitness part of the app and would be displayed in graphs for reading purposes.
I saw this in the Terms and Conditions of Google Fit API :
Google does not intend Google Fit to be a medical device. You may not use Google Fit in connection with any product or service that may qualify as a medical device pursuant to Section 201(h) of the Federal Food Drug & Cosmetic (FD&C) Act.
As the app will only be available in the European Union, do the same conditions apply to it ?
I'm sorry if this is the wrong place to ask this kind of questions but I couldn't find any email address for Google API support.
Thank you

I want to allow my users to pay food to my business users using Stripe Connect. I never used Stripe, but by reading the Stripe documentation, this seems feasible and relatively easy to implement.
According to this Google documentation page, the purchase or rental of physical goods via a given app is not subject to their fees.
Does this imply that I will not pay any fee to Google, even if I distribute my app via Google Play?
Given your use case, you should be able to use Stripe instead of Google Play's billing system and not be subject to Google extra fees. That being said, it would depend on how you implement your app. For example, if you were to sell tokens (that were only available in-app) that could be redeemed for food, that would probably still need to use Google's billing system. You should probably write in to Stripe Support (https://support.stripe.com/contact) to talk through what you want and be completely sure.
I'am working on community project for chess players and I use standard in app purchases provided by Google to get credit for functions to be used. I prefer however one big payment for one country (culture) made by some company or major local chess entity, personally dealing conditions, creating data source to fit my app, giving users everything within the culture for free and in return giving the sponsor place in various screens of my application.
I know 3rd party payment processors are not allowed for standard app use.
Breaking Google Play developer policy in this case or not?
Making in app purchase for this is just weird.
How to get money for such a product not breaking Google play rules?
There's a whole website by Google explaining the policies.
I don't work for Google's policy team, and I'm not a lawyer, but here would be my reading:
If you want a user to pay within your app, then use Google's methods. So if you want the person sponsoring the whole country to pay within the App, use Google's payment methods.
What you do as a company to strike sponsorship deals and take payment is up to you, if that payment happens outside the app.
But you should read that website above carefully for yourself, and of course Google Play has the final say.
I am trying to build an iOS app that involves scanning barcodes and I came across this weird scenario where this api and this api gave me different items for the same UPC-A barcodes.
Is it possible for two item issued in the same country to have the same UPC-A barcode or is this the APIs fault?
Here's the barcode image? It'll be great if someone can give me some general barcode guidelines. It's my first time dealing with barcodes.
I don't know anything about API's, but I was a 3rd party seller on Amazon, and it looks like that shower gel was sold on Amazon, and the website http://www.upcitemdb.com that was used to pull those results pulls data from Amazon, somehow. When you enter an item for sale on Amazon, some catergories require you to use a barcode in order to place an item for sale on Amazon. If an item does not have a barcode it is conceivable that the seller invented one simply to get their listing on Amazon. In this case, it looks like they entered the same barcode that RedBull has registered to them.
I also find it fishy that the website http://www.upcitemdb.com not only pulls data from Amazon, but uses Amazon ads, and is likely owned by an Amazon affiliate who has a vested interest in directing traffic to Amazon, not in displaying correct barcode information.
I am looking for example to build a spam detection service in a social network. For example: identify a user posted comment as spam on a social network site (such as facebook). I don't have any training data. Does the google API have its own training data set, that can help me identify spam in user posted comments. How does that work? I need something to seed the algorithm with
I want to know how an advertising network like adwords is built. What kind of systems display the ads and what kind of systems search keywords in the content of the publisher's website.
Google has a spider which indexes the content of pages on its adsense network. The ads are pulled in with JavaScript. The actual algorithms which decide what ads to display on a page are closely guarded secrets. Google uses Python a lot, so odds are most of the backend uses that.
To make this question approachable you need to specify what level/type of detail you want/need. Are you looking for a broad understanding of the information architecture and flow? do you need search/parse algorithms pseudo code/code? what exactly do you need?
