The documentation is a great first port of call for an introduction to the Yammer export API. It gives a great example of what the API gives back detailing the file types, etc. I would like to see some sample files. Does anybody know where I may find these? Even better, in a perfect world, is there some kind of simulator to demonstrate the use of the API?
I don't have admin access therefore can not see the exports from my network. I will probably never get this type of access. We wish to see examples so we can decide if its worthwhile requesting an export on a schedule from the global people who do have admin access. Making this request is time consuming and not all that straightforward.
If your administrator will not grant you access to the data export for your Yammer network, you do have an option to test the data export and see what it looks like in practice:
Sign up for a trial O365 subscription for a tenant that includes Yammer.
Post some test content.
Perform a data export.
If you need the tenant to live longer than the trial period, you'll need to pay for it. Depending on who your are working for, you may be able to assign some licences for a test tenant. Maintaining a separate test tenant is a best practice.

I am writing a server side python script with Pydrive which needs to store a file in a specific gdrive. Pydrive and this post suggest to use a service account.
However this would mean that with the credentials of this service account all gdrives are accessible and I would rather avoid that.
Ideal only one specific gdrive or all gdrives where one specific user has access to should be accessible.
Is it possible to give programmatically access to only one specific gdrive?
[Edit]
As mentioned in the comments I am apparently not looking for a OAuth flow.
I am looking for a server-to-server communication for accessing one specific google drive using the principle of least privilege access. Doing this with a service account + domain wide delegate and google drive r/w scope would mean that with this service account all google drives can be accessed which is not what I want.
Unfortunately there is a domain wide policy in place which forbids to share google drives to "other" domains. This means I can not use a service account without domain wide delegation and just share the drive with it.
I don't understand what you mean by "programmatically", when you already tag the question as oAuth - asking for oAuth2 flow, which is interactive. When there is nobody, who would press the buttons, this probably isn't the authentication flow you're looking for. Just share a directory with a service-account; no domain-wide delegation is required (with that enabled, there would be no need to share it).
One could even abstract the whole Drive API access credentials away by using a simple Cloud Function, which has to task to update one file; triggered through HTTP, utilizing the Drive API.
Possible approach - dummy account
You could designate a new account that will be your "service account". In reality it won't be an actual service account, it will just be a dummy account that you can call something like "gdrivebot#yourdomain.com". Then you can share only what is absolutely necessary with it. I think this would be the only way to get that level of fine-grained control that you are looking for. This would require your admin to designate a new account just for this purpose though.
i'm quite new to Logic Apps. I got the task to make an auto reply function within Logic Apps that integrates with Exchange Online. Now I already performed this task using Outlook, but I have to be able to apply it to multiple mailboxes or even the entire company using Exchange. I'm about to get access to the Exchange Admin Center soon, but I don't really know how to start due to the fact that there is no simple way to make a connection to Exchange using Logic Apps. After some research, I think it's necessary for me to somehow make use of a REST API (I also read about the use of Exchange Web Services) to get the information I need, but my knowledge about this is quite small. I guess I'm gonna have to use a program like Postman to request information, so that I can start creating Custom Connectors to Exchange. If anybody has some understanding about this, feel free to reply and help me out! I will forever be gratefull!
There are several different approaches you could take to this if you (or probably they in your case) want your logic app to do all the work then you should use the Graph API rather then EWS (while its possible because its older API you'll loose marks on your assignment) have a look at http://martink.me/articles/using-microsoft-graph-in-logic-apps which covers the basics of what to do. To Get access to mailboxes tenant wide then you need to assigned Application Permission and get certificate (and store that in the KeyVault on Azure etc).
You can do this using Inbox Rules https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/graph/api/mailfolder-post-messagerules?view=graph-rest-1.0&tabs=http and the Exchange Server will do all the work when it comes to doing the Auto-response (and has loop detection logic already) and your logic app then just need to do the Creation and management of the Rules.
But I would suggest you clarify with the person who assigned you the task whether they want the logic app to do the response (eg using the Graph API) or if its okay for the Exchange Server to do this for then (which should be more reliable).
You can also create Rules via the Exchange Admin Center and you could probably also through in Power Automate into the mix to do Autoresponse's so I'd clarify what they want so you don't waste time building something they don't want.
I need an extension to my YouTube API quota allotment to conduct research for my dissertation. I have been trying to get an estimate of the available resources and costs for extensions for an NSF grant but have not been able to get in contact with a human for several weeks despite filing the quota extension form.
Currently, I've been trapped in a loop with the youtube API compliance team where they continuously ask me for the following info.
In order to proceed further, please provide us the following information:
Provide API Client link and demo credentials
Screenshots and/or video recording(s) that clearly demonstrates how your API Client and its users access and use the YouTube API Services.
Documents relating to your implementation, access and use of YouTube API Services.
I have attached the required responses mulitple times and still receive the same message. For the first I have attached my python code for accessing the API (the only usage of the service), the second I have attached the pictures of the terminal window and the data output, for the third I have attached the project summary, description, and data collection plan for the project plus the first paper I published using the limited quota on YouTube.
I've repeatedly asked to be connected with a human to go through their needs but have had no response. The project has received a great deal of interest in the Economics community and I am under a great deal of pressure to continue the work, it is very stressful for a graduate student to bear especially when barred by an automated response. Please help D:

I have a quick question...may sound a little straightforward but still want to throw it out there.
I am aware that typically a session is limited to a single browser and client instance.
With that said though say a user signs up on your mobile device and starts to do some shopping...maybe adds something to their cart and then decides that they want to complete the purchase on their desktop.
I have some people that want to call this a single session while technically its a new session.
Does this make any sense?
In theory this should work with Universal Analytics, at least for logged in users ( I assume that your users are logged in if they want to buy).
You can pass a client id as a parameter when you create the tracker. The client id is supposed to be formatted as UUID, so you'd have to store that along with your real client id in you backend system and pass it in to the tracker as a part of the confuguration json object (optional third parameter in ga create). Apparently this get retroactively applied to the running session (no written source for that but I recently attented a conference where a google employee said as much, so I assume this is legit).
So as far as it concerns data collection UA is ready for multidevice. I frankly do not know to what extent this already works in the Analytics Interface.
I recently had a glimpse at a Analytics Premium Account which already had some new multdevice reports. I don't know if the fact that those reports are, at least for the moment, absent from the free version means that multidevice tracking does not work yet on the free version (those reports are along the line of Venn diagramms for "How many users used more than one device" and the like).
We have a custom Active Directory integrated web app that helps users perform some self-service on their accounts (e.g. update photo, change phone number, reset password etc.) Our app runs on domain-joined servers, as Local System, and is thus able to authenticate to the AD using the server account(s).
We use a service connection point, that the app's clients use to locate an instance of our app. (Our app clients are hard-coded to look for certain keywords which are published on the servie connection point's keywords attribute.)
We recently had a situation wherein someone (we believe accidentally) changed the keywords on one of the service connection points resulting in an outage, since the clients could no longer find our SCP when querying the AD for our keyword(s).
The customer is a bit upset about this and wishes for us to provide them the ability to determine who can change the keywords on our SCPs. This feedback was passed on from our sales guys to us, and now we need to provide some way of helping them figure out who can change the keywords on our SCPs.
So, we're looking for an API to help us to determine Effective Permissions on our Active Directory service connection point objects, so we can alleviate this situation for the customer. We couldn't quite find an Effective Permissions / Access API that could help us list all the users who have effective write access to the keyword and other attributes on our SCPs.
Is there an API/other way that one can use to determine Effective Permissions on an Active Directory object?
It needs to be able to list all the users who have a specified access on a specified set of attributes of an Active Directory object.
This stack overflow post may be able to help you. LINQ to LDAP should also allow you to access the information pretty easily as well.
