How to implement Amazon MWS api in MVC Web API? - asp.net-web-api

I am new to Amazon marketplace web service (MWS). I have read documentation of web service but I am unable to understand which api suit for update quantity and price of single or multiple product at one time.
Here is link that I am reading so far and don't know where to start.(http://docs.developer.amazonservices.com/en_US/feeds/Feeds_SubmitFeed.html)
Can you guys suggest me where to start?

Check out the feed types. You're going to want to submit a pricing or inventory feed to update your inventory. Once you have a feed created, you submit that using the SubmitFeed operation.
For an overview on how feeds works, check out this What you should know about the Amazon MWS Feeds API section.
Specifically for ASP.NET, there is an SDK built that will help you greatly. If you want to know how to implement that as a web api, that's another topic, but you can wrap code from the SDK inside a web api endpoint. But start with understanding MWS.

How can I implement Google's "Indexing API for job posting URLs" if my job board only has a dashboard and no place to put the key?

We have a job board for the German market. The template/software we use is from a company called JBoard, whos programming language is PHP and Laravel. We are having difficulties being listed in Google for Jobs, so now we want to use one of Google's features (=instant indexing: https://developers.google.com/search/blog/2018/06/introducing-indexing-api-for-job?hl=en) for the jobs on our website. We have already generated a key but cannot connect it to the website. According to JBoard, they do not have any place in the backend where you can store the key. However, JBoard says that they have clients who have successfully implemented Google’s API outside of their platform. Apparently it is done with google sheets, google search console and an API token (which I am able to generate via our dashboard). We did find a developer, but he couldn't finish the implementation due to personal reasons. Does anyone know how to implement the instant indexing for jobs when your website is not based on wordpress, Squarespace etc., and with no access to the backend code? Thanks in advance.

Slack: how does one go about providing the 'box/dropbox/google' like integration?

Slack offers Box/DropBox/Google integrations, specifically the ability to add (pick via a dialog) a file to Slack from one of these offerings.
I have tried my best look up the different sort of integration possibilities but cannot find any documentation that I can leverage to build my own (to another product).
How does one go about providing a similar integration for his product?
The reason you do not find anything on how to create integrate products similar to Google Drive and Dropbox in the official API documentation is that those are custom solutions created in collaboration between Slack and vendors like Google. If you want something similar for your product I would advise you to contact the Slack business team for details.
However, there is one feature in the API that allows you to create some of the functionality:
Slack app unfurling: Automatically add custom attachments whenever a user posts a message which contains a URL to your product. Those can include preview images and text of your product.

Microsoft Flow integration

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.

Uploading a personal google cloud server into app inventor

I was reading about creating a custom tinywebdb and wondered will it offer me more entries than the the normal tinywebdb.
I am creating an app using app inventor where users can comment and review about a specific product.
So I was wondering if I create my google cloud, will I be able to upload it into app inventor? If you guys have better advises please tell me!
The limit of 1000 entries is only valid for the default TinyWebDB component on the test service provided by App Inventor. For a custom TinyWebDB there is no such limit, see also Creating a Custom TinyWebDB Service.
You can read here more about quotas and pricing.
See also this guide for the setup and don't sign up for the free trial.
Generally, as already suggested in the forum, I would use a fusiontable instead, which offers better filter and query possibilities. Remember, in TinyWebDB you can only store tag/value pairs.

Mail API - MailChimp VS Amazon SES VS mailgun

We are looking at integrating with some kind of mail service API but the key thing is we need extensive reporting. I cant get much details on this from the different providers short of contact them so I thought id just ask and find out if anyone knows which service has detailed reporting?
I assume Amazon SES would be the best choice (+ price is good) but confirmation that their service offers really good API reporting would help finalise my decision.
We will be hooking into their API for reporting and displaying the reports on our clients CMS. No, we dont want to redirect the client to any of the provider's login as we want all the clients website data centralised.
With Amazon SES you have all the reporting that you want, but you will have to generate it yourself. Clicks/Bounces/Opens - Amazon SES does not provide you with any of these out of the box, not by an API and not by their console.
Mandrill (which is mailchimp's api service) does provide much more extensive repoting built in, but last I checked, you can't access it by API, only in their dashboard.
I have no idea about mailgun
Well since asking this question I have landed up using MailChimp's API. At the time of asking I couldnt find info on a MailChimp API with reporting.
Great API and features but quite complex replicating their back-end within your own CMS (especially campaigns).
