Currently does the Square App API include SquareUp's scheduling service that they provide?
I have looked everywhere and have not manage to find anything about scheduling for the API
There are no APIs for Square Appointments at this time.

I wonder if I can get working places for all users from organization using calendar API. Coworkers from my organization uses google calendar to mark if they work from home or office. I attach screen to show what I am talking about.
I've searched many endpoints from calendar API but did not find suitable one. Is it possible to get those information from API?
It is not yet possible to retrieve those information from the API.
But Google already documented it (tutorial, API reference) and it should come at some point in the (hopefully) near future.

I am in the in the process of developing point of sale applications for restaurants for both iPhone and Android. I wanted to use Square to process all the credit card sales seamlessly with my apps, but Square Register API is not available for Android.
Would Square Connect allow my app to integrate in a way where the customer's food order can be taken inside my app, and then Square automatically be launched to allow the customer to pay (pre-populating the dollar amount), and then switch back to my app after the payment is completed? Based on everything I read, Square Register can do all that (only on iPhone), but Square Connect would not be able to do this. Am I correct? Does this mean my apps won't be able to integrate with Square the way I need them to, so I will have to choose a different credit card processor to work with that does have the API functionality I need for both iPhone and Android?
Thanks!
#Stephen Barlow's answer was correct at the time, but this is no longer the case. Square announced the Register SDK for Android on May 25, 2016. Here is the blog post:

You are correct, the Register API is iOS-only. Square currently does not provide a way for an Android application to open the Square Register app to process a payment.
I'm looking for a Google API call to know which services (Gmail in my case) are enabled for an organization or for a user.
The question has been asked without answer there : Google API for Google Services
Thanks!
If this existed, it would likely be in the Admin SDK rather than the Gmail API. That being said, I've never seen this and wasn't able to find any hint of it within the specific APIs within the SDK (would likely be in the Admin Settings API).
I am pretty sure this isn't possible via API currently.
I know the Google Maps API charges sites that use the Maps API heavily.
I can't find similar information on charges for Tasks, Calendars, and Contacts. Are there such limits or are these totally free? Can anyone point me to a place this is explicitly stated?
Those are APIs associated with Google Apps.
There are no costs for these APIs.
To confirm this, go to your API Console (https://code.google.com/apis/console/) then click on Services.
If the service (API) has a "Pricing" link, then it does have it's own pricing schema. If not you are limited to the Courtesy limit indicated.
Hope this helps. Good luck.
A recent Ars Technica article rekindled my interest in WebOS so I was looking at the Services API (because I'm interested in building a replacement calendar app). I discovered the following text at the top of the calendar services API documentation:
Note: To prevent unauthorized use of
private user data, this API provides
access only to records created by your
application; that is, you cannot
access records owned by another
application.
What is the point of even having an API if you can't access data created by other applications? At that point there would be no reason for me to use their API rather than building the data storage myself. Am I missing something? Can any WebOS developers weigh in on this?
P.S. If they named their os "WebOS" you would think they'd know something about sane URLs. Check out that ridiculous calendar api doc url!!
The reason for the limited access is because of security, but not just that. Some services have agreements that limit how their data can be used. For example, having an API that would let a random webOS app access your Facebook calendar data would be working around the FaceBook terms of service that control how that data can be used. The same applies to LinkedIn, Google Calendar, and any other service from which the system is pulling information.
If you just need to post an occasional event, there's a better API to use that lets you cross-launch the calendar app with data that the user can accept into their own calendar. That way, you don't create your own bucket, but the user has to manually accept the event.
The reason to use the calendar APIs is to expose your own data to the user of the device. FlightView, for example, uses it to publish a calendar to the user of upcoming flights that he or she is interested in, and if those get rescheduled, it can automatically change them. The Fandango app uses this to push movie times for theaters the user likes into their calendar view. There's lots of possibilities.
