Any reason why ESPN Now API and Sports API work a little differently?
Now API:
mma = League
ufc = Team
Sports API:
mma = Sport
ufc = League
For example, as you can see "mma" saves as "Sport" in one and "League" in the other.
Just wondering because I'm trying to make the two work in concert if Favorites are saved?
Let me know if you have any questions, thanks!
EDIT:
Just so everyone knows, as of December 7, the ESPN API is closed to the public.
I'm going to take a guess and then probably open up a ticket for this. The NOW API was built before we had MMA support in our core API offerings. After working with our MMA data, we standardized on the format in our core sports API.
I'll add a ticket for this issue so we can get it resolved. I'll try to reply here when that has been completed. Also, we're looking into other methods of messaging out our routine changes to the API.
Regards,
Roger

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 developing a custom alexa skill and I would like to know if anyone knows how to make a call using alexa.
I saw a similar question but nobody have answered it yet.
How to make phone call from custom alexa skill
I have a phone number in my api response and I need to call that number using Alexa.
Please let me know if any one knows anything about this.
There are services available that will allow you to place phone calls or send text messages. Twilio and Plivo are a couple that come to mind, but there are many others also.
These services provide APIs, toolkits, and examples to help you interact with them using a plethora of different languages.
Be aware that these are not free, and will charge you per call.
I'm an intern and I've been tasked with creating a RoomFinder API for Outlook that works with Amazon's Lex/Lambda to find a location and schedule meetings given a list of participants. The API is supposed to be able to pull the calendars from Outlook for the individual participants, find a time that works for all of them and a location with a proper seating capacity, and then schedule the meeting+add it to the calendars of those involved. I have a pretty good understanding of how Lex works and have created my own functions using Lambda before but I don't even know where to begin when it comes to pulling the calendars from Outlook for the participants.
I have been trying to get an idea of how to go about this for a few days now and found some information on Outlook's REST API which it sounds like can be used to gather some of the needed information but I'm not sure how to actually begin doing that. Here are links to a few of those pages:
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/office/office365/api/use-outlook-rest-api#RegAuthConverged
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/office/dn643730(v=exchg.150).aspx
I also managed to find a few pages on GitHub of similar, more basic scripts using Python to acquire things like Room Availability from Outlook but I couldn't get any of those to work. I don't have enough reputation to post more links but if seeing those would help I can maybe comment them later.
I'm really looking for any advice on where to begin or tips on how to get this done. I think I may be on the right track with the REST API idea but I have no clue how to actually use it or set it up.
Any help is appreciated, thanks.
We are just now rolling out a new REST API to list the roomsIDs(findrooms). You can use this in conjunction with the findmeetingtimes API to schedule meetings. Please take a look at the REST API docs here(remember to choose beta in the top-right)

I have been trying to publish my Skype bot to Microsoft Bot Directory, it has been almost two weeks and it is still in review.
My questions are:
Do they have a list of must haves for the bot so that they can only accept it if it fulfills these requirements? They didn't reject mine either but I will be prepared in advance in case they do.
If yes where can I find this info?
Has anyone here submitted their bot and how long did it take for them to be published?
Thank you
I submitted a few months ago and it is still not approved.
The bot directory is very selective and they won't approve you unless it's a full fledged mature application.
Plus, they also claim that their reviewing resources are very limited.
I'd say don't expect to get approved.
And no, they don't have any kind of requirements.
Here are a few items that might help with guidance:
MICROSOFT BOT FRAMEWORK– PREVIEW ONLINE SERVICES AGREEMENT
Bot review guidelines
Developer Code of Conduct for the Microsoft Bot Framework
It takes a few days (maybe a little longer) to get a response from a review. A couple items that caught me off guard were their logo requirements, which are very precise, and the welcome/help message needs to be complete. You also need to specify your Terms of Use and Privacy Policy well. Looking at these documents, there are probably several more items that are likely to trip-up submission.
As of today (5/25/2016) there seems to no longer be data for user_ratings_total in the Google Places API. I use this to get the total number of reviews for a business. Is there an alternative method to getting this data?
If you would like Google to reinstate the previously undocumented user_ratings_total result key (or something similar), then please go to: https://code.google.com/p/gmaps-api-issues/issues/detail?id=3484 and add your vote for this feature to be officially added.
This issue was "Acknowledged" by Google way back on Jun 3, 2013 and is still open as such (other similar issues like https://code.google.com/p/gmaps-api-issues/issues/detail?id=9824 have been "closed" with status like "WorkingAsIntended").
Hopefully if we get enough up votes then maybe they will see the need and put it back in and make it official (as opposed to undocumented).
(Unfortunately I couldn't post this as a Comment as I just registered; so I'm going to post it as an Answer and hope it is okay.)
I'd try the Google My Business API, see in particular the documentation section Work with Review Data.
You'll need to Request access to the API.
This is fixed now. Reposting a comment from the issue linked to above by #TechLeadAA
The total amount of ratings is now generally available for all Places
API clients as part of the Basic SKU:
https://developers.google.com/places/web-service/details#fields
https://developers.google.com/places/web-service/place-data-fields#basic
Places API: user_ratings_total
Places SDK for iOS: GMSPlaceFieldUserRatingsTotal
Places SDK for Android: Place.Field.USER_RATINGS_TOTAL
I'm facing the same issue, and it looks like total number of reviews from Google Places API is not the same as Google My Business API:
