I am trying to automate a Google Sheet import as soon as someone has committed their changes to Google Sheet's version control (and not just edited any cell like the onEdit event seems to trigger, I need it committed).
While polling is an option, I'd rather really have Google Sheets send out a message to PubSub. Now PubSub requires the authentication JSON and such and I haven't seen any integration with Google Sheets that integrates this concept, which surprised me.
I searched on the internet for triggers in Google Sheet and some way to automate code to connect to external resources. Apparently, the Google Drive Push Notification API seems to be the way to go. I'd really like to keep everything in my Google Cloud space so I went for a Google Cloud Function with an HTTP(S) endpoint. I already started working out the Function and PubSub channel when I went back to the documentation to read up on how to send a call to the HTTP endpoint.
Bad luck. Seems you need to register the domain to prove you own it and wishing I could, I can not prove that I own cloudfunctions.net. So there went my plan.
It seems very not-Google like to not integrate its Cloud SDK on Google Sheets triggers since they do offer a Sheets API using Cloud Service Accounts.
So my conclusion is I have two options:
1) I am able to send an HTTP callback on a onEdit() function but only if it's my own domain and I seem to require to set up an environment just for that.
2) I would have to poll the last version of the Google Sheets commit compared to the latest version to trigger it myself.
Am I overlooking something very simple or are these my only options?
Cloud functions count as an AppEngine Standard Endpoint as described here and here, and so do not require domain verification. You can use a cloud function using a Cloud Pub/Sub trigger freely- you don't even need to explicitly set up a subscription.
Edit: I didn't understand the OPs question correctly, they want to prove their ownership of a cloud function to the Google Drive Push Notification API, not Cloud Pub/Sub push. This should be possible through HTML tag verification as described here. In whatever framework you are using for your web server, you should be able to set the appropriate HTML meta tag on the response.

I would like to use Google Analytics in my Xamarin project, but I always find articles showing how to use it with Firebase. Is that the only possibility? Can I use just Goggle Analytics without Firebase, as I use for example in my Angular project?
While the link to the repo google-analytics-dotnet-sdk created by me supplied by another another answer to this question.
Will work if you are using Universal analytics. It will not send hits to GA4. I have been working on a version for Ga4 but set aside while i wait for the Measurement protocol for Ga4 to be completed.
Currently the measurement protocol for GA4 does not allow for recreating hits similar to what is sent by the standard google analytics sdks for web and mobile.
Which means that you cant exactly recreate the same events.
Measurement Protocol (Google Analytics 4) I guess what I am saying is that if your goal is to recreate similar hits as firebase sends then your not going to be able to. We need to wait for them to open up for more of the Measurement protocol.
This is the current status of it.

When I did research online, most of the solutions are about triggering Slack notification from TravisCI. Now I want to do the reverse direction - type some message in slack, and trigger a build task in TravisCI.
I'm looking at Slack's Outgoing WebHooks - under their "Custom Integrations" in Slack app directory. However, their webhook POST data spec is fixed, not seem to be programmable through just their webpage UI. They have a column in the UI that lets you fill in URL(s) to POST to. But I don't see any ways that I can customize the data field of the POST request.
Same as TravisCI's Triggering Builds API v3, the data fields they expect in the POST are fixed and unchangeable.
I know I can sign up a cloud service, write some code and spin up a server to re-package the parameters to do the work, like a middleware between these 2 APIs. But just want to see if anyone manages to achieve triggering TravisCI by Slack in such way that doesn't involve spinning up a server myself?
I ended up hosting a server and writing the porting logic myself. I guess there's no simple way to do this, after all they are different APIs. Here is the code where I request against travisCI API, and here is the code where I unpack the slack webhook POST request.
I read an article about Microsoft Flow. I was wondering if it is possible to trigger events using this in an external website.
For instance, supposing a post is made on Yammer for some approval flow based application. If an authorized user comments saying "Approved", this must trigger an action in my external website.
Is this feasible using Flow?
You can also make your own custom connectors if your website has a RESTful API. https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/flow/register-custom-api
There is an event for Yammer in Microsoft flow. I have something set up similar for my company and Twitter. When our company is mentioned it sends a message off to our social director.
I have several such flows for things like Yelp, Twitter, Facebook.
You need your Yammer account.
The events that you can trigger from and then include a trigger word or phrase are:
Get All messages
Get Messages in a group
Get Messages from my Following Feed
Post Message
Once you have that trigger its simple enough to look for the key word within a condition step.
Chances are good there is already a template for this in Microsoft Flow. Just look at the ones for Yelp, Facebook, etc. and modify for your needs
Just as AJAX mentioned, you can apply your own Custom Connector for a case like this. A Connector is the "plugin" used with a Flow, such as Yammer.
It's a bit late since November 28th (practically a 30-day late response here), but PowerApps allows you to create your own Custom Connector applying Microsoft's API. You'd be able to plug into your website (GET, POST, etc) directly with this when you create a trigger (the condition met true) that would launch an action. If you created your own API, Microsoft would have to validate if it's met standards pertaining to security.
By applying PowerApps, you'd be able to create your own actions and triggers. From this, you can integrate your own web based process' based on documentation that was observed: https://powerapps.microsoft.com/en-us/blog/brand-new-custom-api-experience-in-powerapps/. From here, you'd be able to customize it was needed.
JSON is required for some circumstances, however Postman would be a great IDE to consider as it also applies a pre-approved API by Micrsoft.
I have a complete source code of a project using you tube data API v3, when i try to publish my app its continuously rejected due to copyright issue. (i m using someone else channel link),
here is what it says :-
I reviewed your app, and had to reject it because it violates our device and network abuse policy. If you submitted an update, the previous version of your app is still live on Google Play.
Here’s how you can submit your app for another review:
Your app shouldn’t access or use a service or API in a manner that violates its terms of service. For example, make sure your app doesn’t download, monetize, or access YouTube videos in a way that violates the YouTube Terms of Service.
Read through the Device and Network Abuse policy for more details and examples.
now i want to change my code from You tube data API to daily motion API, and i need your help.
Or if someone has any solution how can i get my app approved using someone Else's channel. ?
I want to gather google analytics data for daily/monthly report. All visitors, visitors for specific path and conversion rate. Setting for google analytics is already done (I think).
I searched ruby libraries, but many informations are out-of-dated and google api is sometimes update.
Now(2012-09-28) what library is popular? And How to get data? I searched ruby-toolbox, but both two libraries are still active?

thanks,
Google-Api-Client works fine, is an official client and is constantly updated, just check the commit logs and you will see. Note that this API is not for Google Analytics only but for any Google API that uses the Google Discovery API. You should try that.
Regardless of the client that you use make sure it's compatible with the latest version of the API. If it's built using the Google API Discovery service it's a plus because that means the client library will have support for new methods as soon as they are available. It's like an API for building API clients.
GARB on the other hand seems to be abandoned for a while and is probably missing out on several features that came recently.
Note that the Google Analytics API are currently read only. So no client library will support that since there's no API for writing annotations. There's a feature request for that though.
