Instagram threaded comments - comments

as some of you may know, Instagram announced the new threaded comments feature last month: https://instagram-press.com/blog/2017/08/15/keep-the-conversation-going-with-comment-threads/
My question regarding this is: how to address this via API? Is it already possible to date or will it be made possible in the future [# all Instagram Developers reading this :) ]?
Thank you very much,

Can I submit student work with classroom API?

I'm trying to make a program to submit my google classroom work quicker (as a student). I've read the google classroom API but it's very oriented to teachers and I don't know if my idea is posible.
I would be very thankful if someone can help me!
No it is not possible.
The reason, unless you used the same program that created the assignment, you will not have the proper developer authentication permissions.
You can read more here: https://developers.google.com/classroom/reference/rest/v1/courses.courseWork.studentSubmissions/turnIn
If you want to experiment and learn how the process goes, possibly even test different approaches, I recommend this post:

Google Play API

I have an artist who sells his music via google play.
I want to build software that is able to fetch data that consist of number of plays, by gender, age etc.
Is this possible? Currently I have to manually log into the website in order to retrieve the information and automation would work much better for me.
I would be open to paying a fee as well.
Thanks
Such an API isn't offered right now, and to be honest it seems unlikely one will be given this page says "If you would like to make your music available for purchase/download, we recommend one of these YouTube Preferred Partners ...".
It sounds like you'd have to write some website scraping code. There are lots of questions on stackoverflow about libraries for scraping Beautiful Soup is one that is commonly recommended.

Google my business - API to update opening hours of places?

I would like to update "Opening hours" for all stores of a company in Google my business, through an automated API (a REST service for example).
My customer has hundreds of stores, and currently this is done manually.
I've read there is NO automated way to do this, a user needs to fill manually every opening hour in the google my business portal.
I can't believe that, and I'm wondering how big companies with a lot of stores take care of that problem, especially for "exceptional closings", etc.
I have already search for a long, and didn't found anything.
The only ability supplied by google is to upload a list of stores, through a file, and this file doesn't contain any information regarding opening hours (am I wrong ?).
I would like to be able to update store list AND opening hours regularly, through an API (My Business, or Places).
Does google propose a such API, or do you have any suggestion to handle this concern from a programmatical point of view ?
Thank you
There was no Google API for My Business at the time when I posted my question, but meanwhile Google has released it and also provides samples for many languages : https://developers.google.com/my-business/
Thanks to eton_ceb for the notification.

ESPN Now API and Sports API use different version of League

Any reason why ESPN Now API and Sports API work a little differently?
Now API:
mma = League
ufc = Team
Sports API:
mma = Sport
ufc = League
For example, as you can see "mma" saves as "Sport" in one and "League" in the other.
Just wondering because I'm trying to make the two work in concert if Favorites are saved?
Let me know if you have any questions, thanks!
EDIT:
Just so everyone knows, as of December 7, the ESPN API is closed to the public.
I'm going to take a guess and then probably open up a ticket for this. The NOW API was built before we had MMA support in our core API offerings. After working with our MMA data, we standardized on the format in our core sports API.
I'll add a ticket for this issue so we can get it resolved. I'll try to reply here when that has been completed. Also, we're looking into other methods of messaging out our routine changes to the API.

Roger

Best practice for setting up facebook comments for clients website, My facebook account vs theirs

I'm setting up a website (wordpress) for a client.
For comments to posts on their site, they've indicated they want to use facebook Social comments app.
Do I create the app using my facebook ID , or do I ask them to make me an admin for their page?
Can I transfer an app some day to them?
(I did a little searching on here, i'm sure the question has been asked, perhaps I'm using the wrong terminology, as i'm not finding the answer i need)
Thank you for reading!
I think the answer depends on whether or not who will be moderating the comments and really "managing" the app. If your client would like to see/view/moderate comments, add them as a developer or a comment moderator. If you will be responsible, then obviously use your account.
