How to run code everyday with Parse for iOS? - parse-platform

Is there a way to run code everyday at a specific time with Parse for an iOS app? I would like to be able to send a push notification to specific users based on their settings and preferences found in various Parse data classes.
Thanks in advance.

All you need is a background job. Then, you schedule it on the Parse dashboard and set a frequency.

Can you use pine script in trading view to autotrade Tradovate futures?

I have a pine script written that I am able to back test. Now I just want to setup an autotrading bot to trade futures 24/5 in Tradovate. Is there a platform to link the 2? I already have the ability to manual execute trades on Tradovate in Trading view (so they are linked). I just need to automate my script.
Tradovate will not release their API to anyone other than their partners.
if they don't have an api you can access, then sounds like the answer is no

Is it possible to get another person's UI in Google Apps Script?

In Google Apps Script when you use the property: DocumentApp.getUi(), it gets the UI of the person who is using it. If you used DocumentApp.getUi().alert(), then it would send an alert to the person who is using the script. I am wondering if there is maybe a way to alert another person's UI in Google Apps Script and not the person who is using the script. Here is a sample of my code:
DocumentApp.getActiveDocument()
.removeViewer(userName.getResponseText())
.removeEditor(userName.getResponseText());
DocumentApp.getUi()
.alert("Your access is being removed.")
Now it would be wonderful and imagine all the possibilities if that were possible! Someone please help!
It is not possible to access the UI of any browser except the one which invoked the function. This is also why time driven triggers cannot display UI modals (they are executing nonlocally).

Access parse current user from Apple Watch

I am making an application for the Apple Watch.
I successfully linked my watch extension to parse. However, I can't access parse data stored on the phone.(In my case PFUser.currentuser() )
What would be the best way to get my current user?
Parse SDK 1.7.2 is out right now and I feel this is exactly what you are looking for.
It brings full support for sharing data with App Extensions and Apple Watch Apps.
Read more in this blog post http://blog.parse.com/announcements/introducing-local-data-sharing-for-apple-watch-and-app-extensions/
Or in the docs on how to set it up: https://parse.com/docs/ios_guide#extensions/iOS

wp8: How to get bing daily image

Using C#, I am trying to figure out how to set the Bing's "picture of the day" as an lock screen background.
Any help would be highly appreciated.
Thank you,
Bijjol.
Yes you can do it.
You can read the XML or JSON provided by Bing Service and wrap it as you wish.
Happy coding.
There is an endpoint that I found a while ago, that returns specific Windows Phone-sized (adjusted to the screen resolution) Bing wallpapers, available here:
http://appserver.m.bing.net/BackgroundImageService/TodayImageService.svc/GetTodayImage
You need to build a custom request, like this, to get the image:
http://appserver.m.bing.net/BackgroundImageService/TodayImageService.svc/GetTodayImage?dateOffset=0&urlEncodeHeaders=true&osName=wince&osVersion=7.10&orientation=480x800&deviceName=WP7Device&mkt=en-US&AppId=1

Help me build this tool in windows envoirnment

I made a desktop music application in adobe air.
I want to update the status of some IM clients running EG: Yahoo messenger,Gtalk,AIM,MSN etc.
with the current playing song.
I am not desktop developer.This is first time i am making something for desktop.
SO is there any way in any Programming language that i can make something which will change the Data (Status message) of a running IM client.
Please Just guide me through this problem .
Edit: I dont want to ask for username/password of users IMs accounts , so via API is not a solution in this case .
It will be like Person X running mine music application and also logged to various third party IM clients (YIM,Gtalk etc).
SO if he is playing a song in the music application , then mine app will update presence status message on the IM clients to " Listening to bla bla song ".
So it is like high-jacking/Hacking the data of the running third party IM client.
Have a look at libpurple, it might have the functionality you require.
There is also telepathy, but I think it is related to the former somehow (one uses the other or they do the same thing).
EDIT: for the recent edit: it looks to me like you want something like MSN Messenger displaying the currently playing track in Windows Media Player. This requires a plugin for the messaging client, no way around that.
Perhaps an easier way to get this done would be to develop a plugin for one of the numerous multi-platform IM clients such as GAIM or Trillian. This would let you target stuff across the board without undue effort . . .
I think your only option is to write a plugin for each chat client you want to target, which could take some time.
So let me suggest an alternative: Add last.fm audioscrobbler support to your application. You would simply send the Now Playing info to last.fm via the API (http://www.last.fm/api/submissions), and it will appear on the user's profile page. Most music players already support this method because it's a pretty popular service, and a lot of people link to their last.fm profiles on their blog/facebook/etc.
