Some activities have an "Actions" property. Can that be accessed through the API or are they simply placeholders for now?
This is a reserved namespace for future device keys and is not yet public. We hope to expand our Smart Home Group API in late 2016 which should include this capability. Developers that have signed up for the Smart Home Group developer program will receive an email once additional functionality has gone live.

My local school allows me to log in to their online portal and access an email account using Outlook 365 within the browser, despite the fact I do not have a license for outlook/office 365.
Is it possible to create a web application where users of this app could click a link to edit a document directly in their browser using Word 365, with us/the developers of such app being the licensee of Word and not the end-user? The remote document would be held in a Sharepoint/Webdav capable service.
If this is possible, which MS-technologies should we investigate to develop such a system? Is it the MS-Graph API or something else?
A pointer in the right direction would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
You can use the Graph to create a sharing link to a document. But the user will have to sign in to view the document I believe. I'm not sure what licensing they need but you can try this with your users to see.

You can use the Google Docs API to work with documents stored in Google Drive. If you are using Java there is a "Quickstart" at the following link:

I can't find the answer to this anywhere, if it's even possible.
I've got a PHP script to connect a few web forms to MailChimp using their v3.0 API. Currently, when the form is used, under the 'Source' column next to the new record it says: "API - Generic".
Is there a way to change this, so I can make it say something else?
Cheers,
Lloyd
The only way to control the "Source" listed in MailChimp's Contact table, profiles, and segmentation, is to use a key provided by using their "Registered app" option.
Setup found in account at:
Login
Drop-down top right
Select "Account"
on the "Extras" drop-down select "Registered Apps"
Register an App button.
Name it what you want source to be.
Use below PHP oauth flow to get API key unique to this app and use it in your script.
Done
If this is done the "Source" will display as the name you provide when establishing the app.
This process essentially hands you back an API key after Oauth so beyond making used of that key in your script no other code changes should be required
Link to their API docs with a bit more info:
https://developer.mailchimp.com/documentation/mailchimp/guides/how-to-use-oauth2/
Sample PHP app that will return the API key for your registered app:
https://github.com/mailchimp/OAuth2-sample-apps (super old but still works)
You could also use custom merge / audience fields to distinguish between forms/sources. That's at least what I am doing.

I am somewhat new to code, and even more so to the Google Apps API. In the organization I work with, I have so far managed to write a couple of console apps that we run to apply signatures, and manage mailbox delegates as needed.
In regards to the Email Settings API, specifically the signatures portion, is there a way to check this box:
"Insert this signature before quoted text in replies and remove the "--" line that precedes it."
via the Email Settings API? I've looked through the API documentation, and even the .NET api reference docs, with no avail. Any advice will be helpful.
This feature was available while it was a lab (through the admin console, not API), but not anymore now that it has 'graduated'.
It has now been submitted as an official feature request. Hopefully more people request it.
I was told that setting the footer through the API does show up before quoted text, so if that is true, and all you need is a footer for everyone in organization, you might be in luck.
This is a similar question to How can i get list of Domain user's from Google Apps account?
However, I'd like to use a normal account (not an administrative account) to retrieve the user list. It seems like this should be possible as the gmail autocomplete returns domain contacts not listed in the user's contact store. I've looked at the autocomplete Ajax call, but it requires something in the beginning of the string (and no, I don't really want to loop through a-z one by one - that is just way to hacky). For example:
https://mail.google.com/mail/c/u/0/data/contactstore?ac=true&ct=true&gp=true&hl=en&id=domain&max=15&out=js&tok=beginningOfUsersName&type=4
Both versions of the Google contacts API seem to omit domain users unless you have them imported into your own contacts list. I've also looked at querying users in the "Coworkers" system group, all to no avail. I also find it interesting that "add a coworker's calendar" on Google calendar does not provide autocomplete - they use a popup instead.
I'm working on a C# project, but this is a general Google API question, so any pointers in any language would help.
Update
It looks like this is feasible now with admin/directory google api endpoints
see: https://developers.google.com/admin-sdk/directory/v1/guides/manage-users?authuser=0#retrieve_users_non_admin
Original answer
I was able to work around this issue, so I'll document the workaround, even if it doesn't involve Google. I wrote a program (in C#) to query the internal Active Directory (LDAP) store and pick up all the users from there instead. At that point I could get their email addresses and query Google with it. Not the best method, but it worked for my needs.
The C# was roughly patterned from this powershell script, although I pulled out the computers query and added in the capture of the user's email address: http://www.visualbasicscript.com/List-all-users-or-computers-in-the-default-domain-m35650.aspx
The LDAP property I included to get the proper email address for Google was 'proxyAddresses', although this will not be correct for all environments.
Does anyone know if (and how) I can build an application (Java/Ruby/whatever) doing REST or RPC calls to a social network like Orkut (using opensocial) to search for a user by name or email address? So far I know that I can list all friends for a particular user ID, but I want to search among all users. Would I need to code it as an app/gadget running inside the google sandbox or is there a way to get a list of matching user ID via REST?
So far I got this one to work: http://code.google.com/p/opensocial-ruby-client/wiki/GettingStarted. But with this API and the gadget linked there I only get people that are already linked to me...
Thanks for answers,
Martin
No, you can't do that. At least, OpenSocial doesn't have spec like that.
In addition, SNS normally have privacy policy which disables developers to poke around users who hasn't installed your app.
Think OpenSocial API access to private information is quite limited.
