According to my understanding, Sikuli is basically used for matching images that are present on the screen and working on it using Python, Jython.
I want to send an SMS using Sikuli using APIs. I know that there are some websites that allows to send SMSses. But I don't want to go and login into these websites using Sikuli (in case of automated programs). I only want to use an API that directly takes the mobile no., message and sends it to the receiver with-in the script. Some APIs are there which are used with Python to send SMS. But none of them is useful in Sikuli.
Can you please help me and tell of any method how I can implement this using Sikuli. I would be grateful.
Thank you in advance. :)
Use https://www.twilio.com/. You don't need to log in there. You can send/receive sms using their API. There are a lot of examples.
It is much easier then use Sikuli.

I have a Mininet network and have connected it to an ODL controller. I want to add flows in the controller (and not through Mininet) to be able to get pings and monitor traffic in the network.
What I've seen online, suggested that I connect to the GUI of the controller and create flows there, but I want to know if I can implement/modify flows in the controller itself. I want to run an ODL script without using the GUI. Any help will be much appreciated (links, suggestions etc.).
(I am using ODL 16.02)
Can't find any solutions.
I am also new to ODL. It seems the ODL GUI is no longer supported and the only way to add flows is through RESTCONF. In order to do this, you will need an API testing software. You can use curl and I have seen that Postman is very popular, but there are other alternatives.
This link shows a video where they demonstrate how to configure flows using Postman. I wish there were more information for beginners about how to configure flows and features, since I am also having problems understanding how to use ODL.
I have a YouTube channel that has a number of live broadcasts throughout the week, I am just looking for a way for the Title and Description to be updated via a crontab.
I have see seen the following link. https://developers.google.com/youtube/v3/live/docs/liveBroadcasts/update
To be honest I cant make any sense of it.
Any help offered greatly appreciated.
You're in front of a non-trivial API, but that should not discourage you to go ahead with it.
I'd recommend Python as implementation language: go use the Google's APIs Client Library for Python.
Basically, this library is of good quality and (compared to other client libraries) simple to use. It will, for example, insulate you from having to deal explicitly with REST API calls, JSON and the like. Your code will also work under both GNU/Linux and Windows.
You may begin your journey by reading the official getting started docs: Python Quickstart and YouTube Live Streaming API Overview. Then I recommend absorbing these two important documents: Life of a Broadcast and Understanding Broadcasts and Streams.
Then go read, understand and run the following sample program from Google: create_broadcast.py. Of course, you'll have to adapt that code to your use case.
You'll have to exercise patience and perseverance (since I imply that you have no prior experience using the YouTube Data API). Using this API will pay off to you at the end of your (programming) journey.
A special mention: for to be able to call the live streaming APIs you will first need to get acquainted with the things related to the so-called OAuth 2.0 authorization and authentication: Implementing OAuth 2.0 Authentication. There's an official document that you need absorb: OAuth 2.0 for Mobile & Desktop Apps.
A few more references: the live streaming API has an official documentation too. The main site documenting the client library is: Google API Client Library for Python Docs. Its source is public, to be found within the client library's public repo under the directory docs.
Also useful is to see the YouTube Data API's list of all instance methods.
I wave written a code to play back WAV files. I'm using the WavOutxxx APIs to accomplish this. It is well documented that WavOutXxx APIs open their streams to the default session. Now for certain reasons I'm trying to control the session opened by the WaveOutXxx APIs using IAudioSessionControl API (Windows Core Audio Interfaces).
Can you tell me if this is actually possible? My code does not involve an inter-process communication for this, since everything is handled in the same code. MSDN says this is possible(http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd371428(v=vs.85).aspx) but I don't see how to do this or any examples. It would be very kind if someone can point me to something relevant.
Thanks.
Yes, it is possible. Look at this example.
Currently, I'm trying to get a list of advertisers (See http://code.google.com/apis/gan/v1beta1/advertisers/list.html) with my relationship status from Google's API.
I'm using Ruby and the 'google-api-client' gem and I'm writing this as an automated task. I've suddenly been thrust in to their world of browser windows, shell scripts, and every nut and bolt of OAuth2. I think I'm using the solution for a much different problem - accessing the data of people coming to your website. I just want MY data. Surely there's a much simpler way for me to get it?
Many other affiliate networks give me a REST service (or butchering thereof) and secret params/headers for auth.
I've registered myself as user of my 'device'. My app can now access my data!
I followed the instructions here:
https://code.google.com/apis/accounts/docs/OAuth2ForDevices.html
Is this the correct/best way to do it? I am unsure.
I have a client who wants a solution to allow delivery people to text (SMS messaging) in that they have completed a pick up at a particular location. What I'm looking for is Code to read an imbound SMS message or a SMS component if appropiate. This would allow me to create a windows service to read the message and update a SQL record accordingly.
Probably not quite what you're looking for but one approach is to use a gateway like iTagg which provides a number of interfaces for developers to send and receive SMS/MMS etc. Depending on your location, iTagg may be no use but I'm sure there'll be an equivalent for your region.
Sometime ago I implemented something similar using a GSM modem. I think most of the GSM modems offer AT commands that can be used for receiving and sending SMS messages. At the time, I used a library in Java that provided a easy to use API. The commands to read and send SMS are really easy but I bet there is something in .Net for that purpose that can make the task even easier.
I made a little search and I found this article with an example of using AT commands to interact with a GSM phone. I looked into the supplied source and it includes a library with operations related to SMS.
In my previous project I used a Siemens GSM modem with a RS232 interface. It wasn't very expensive and was able to manage all the messages sent by onboard units placed in vehicles. But if you have a unused phone it can work as well.
Thanks Luke, I am thinking more of a GSM modem which would be connected to the server. I think this would give more control rather than go through a third party, but I take your point and will investigate further.
