Currently I am running an ASP.NET web application and my web page needs to provide a button to get the Lync Meeting URL just like the Outlook does:
Please see the screenshot here: Lync Meeting Address in Outlook
The behavior of this button is when it is clicked, the Lync Meeting URL is retrieved (maybe from the Exchange server) and is shown on a asp:Label control on the web page.
I googled but I have been told that there are three SDKs can be considered for this scenario:
Lync SDK - seems the Lync client must be running while the SDK is in use
Microsoft Unified Communications Managed API (UCMA)
Microsoft Exchange Web Services (EWS)
I am really confused on these three SDKs, and don't know how to achieve my goal by utilizing these SDKs, could someone please help me? It would be much appreciate if you can post some sample code here.
Thank you!
I have implemented a similar solution(winform application) on UCMA. But you need a trusted application server to run such program.
Connect to Exchange and retrieve the user's meeting schedule using Exchange WebServices (like you said with EWS), there is a property that hold the meeting URL in each meeting object, here is a good overview https://mohamedasakr.wordpress.com/2012/05/16/get-lync-online-meetings-information-using-the-ews-managed-api-2/
Make sure you are connected to the Lync Server and signed in. there are a bunch of good tutorials in the "How To" tab on the MSDN Lync 2013 guide
Once you have an instance of LyncClient initialized, call
yourLyncClientInstanceConversationManager.AddConversation();
In your Conversation added event handler, use
yourLyncClientInstance.ConversationManager.JoinConference(exchangeUrl);

I want to integrate cybersource as a HOP i.e. the user will be redirected to the service provider to complete the payment. I am not able to find proper APIs for generating the hosted order pay for redirecting the user. Have gone through a documentation of Cybersource:
https://developer.cybersource.com/library/documentation/dev_guides/Secure_Acceptance_Checkout_API/Secure_Acceptance_Checkout_API.pdf
But it doesn't seems to be helpful. Can anyone help me with this.
a better way to do this is through java script redirect. You don't have
to use the gateway to host anything.
This method is completely PCI compliant in that it will keep you out of scope.
You generate the payment page from your web site and use a java script to
redirect PAN data to the payment server.
I don't know if Cyber Source supports this. This is the same pattern that is
used by wallet payments. Your Direct debit payments can use the same method even though PCI requirements do not apply there ( yet ).
If you want a sample java script to do this let me know
I'm trying to integrate LinkedIn API v2 to the app I'm developing for my client and I need help with it. Basically, I need to allow users to fetch some of their LinkedIn profile data and save it to the platform. As I understood, the first version of the API will no longer be supported. https://developer.linkedin.com/docs
So, the problem is that the default field set I was able to retrieve is extremely limited. And it seems like I should apply for the Developer Program here to gain additional API access
https://business.linkedin.com/marketing-solutions/marketing-partners/become-a-partner/marketing-developer-program
I already submitted the application but haven't yet received any response. The frustrating part is that I'm not even sure if this is what I should do to get access.
Here's what I already discovered
Here it's said that the partner's program isn't available
https://www.linkedin.com/help/linkedin/answer/97491
Here it sends me to the partner program
https://developer.linkedin.com/support/faq
Should I choose marketing? https://developer.linkedin.com/partner-programs
I suppose so because other options seem to be irrelevant. So I already applied here
https://business.linkedin.com/marketing-solutions/marketing-partners/become-a-partner/marketing-developer-program
But still no answer
Here are the developers facing the same issues with no answer as well
https://www.linkedin.com/help/linkedin/forum/question/712591
https://www.linkedin.com/help/linkedin/forum/question/711176
https://www.linkedin.com/help/linkedin/forum/question/711027
Here seems to be the answer to a similar question but still, no specific link or steps to apply for a partner's program
LinkedIn API V2 - Can't get summary, skills and headline
Here they also tell about some partner's program but again without specifics
Linkedin oauth2 r_liteprofile not being returned from api
Here in the official doc, it's also said that I should apply to the program (which I did)
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/linkedin/consumer/integrations/self-serve/migration-faq?context=linkedin/consumer/context
I applied on the 23rd of January and I'm still waiting for the approval without even knowing if this program will give me the API access I need
So I need to know one of the following
If my application will be approved it'll give me the extended access to the API v2 (r_fullprofile permission)
If the application I submitted isn't enough what else should I do in order to get the extended access to the API v2 (r_fullprofile permission)
It feels to be a simple process and I don't really understand why it has to involve the Marketing Developer Program when I only need to access some of the fields. I'm sure there is a reason for that. Could anybody from support provide some steps that I or my client should take on order to get the API access?
I already created the app as a developer here and successfully tested it
https://www.linkedin.com/developers/apps
So, just to be clear, the problem is not in something not working technically. It's just that I receive a very limited set of field of a user's profile and I need to expand it
Just created a new account and integration with Web messenger widget on smooch.io. (So no direct API or similar, just the widget)
I can see messages coming in through the logs tab, like this:
logs of incoming messages
But maybe I am dumb or blind, but I can't figure out how or where to respond to these conversations...
Thanks for any input.
You need to integrate with a system in order to intercept these messages. You can view available systems here: https://app.smooch.io/integrations
My company integrated the web messenger with slack. Every time someone writes via the web messenger, it shows up in slack.
I used Windows 10 email app to connect to my exchange server, i.e. I have instance of UserDataAccount for my exchange server already set up.
I want to write another app that will use this account to talk to Exchange, and I would like to use only WinRT API.
First I need to get Exchange info from UserDataAccount. if it's hosted in cloud, I think I will need URL, tenant ID and username. The problem is that UserDataAccount does not have this info. There is class DeviceAccountConfiguration that seems to have it all, but I cannot find a way to get instance of this class.
Once I can get info about Exchange connection, I can use Office356 REST to talk to Exchange. The reason I want to talk to Exchange directly is because I did not find WinRT API that can use UserDataAccount to retrieve Exchange specific info, for example full info from Exchange about Contact.
So I have UserDataAcccount, and from this data account I need to get credentials and info about Exchange API (EWS, or REST). After that it should be easy, see Adam's answer with link to office356 sample code.
I spent some time poking around WinRT API, but it's poorely documented, and it's hard to discover relationships between different objects, and some methods throw NotImplemented exceptions.
Is WintRT API ready to be used? It looks like a lot of things are disconnected and missing.
Please help!
Thank you
We have sample code for WinRT to access contact.
See:
https://github.com/OfficeDev/O365-Windows-Start
**Contacts**
Get contacts
Create contacts
Update contacts
Delete contacts
Change contact photo
Also we have just plain REST api examples including calling into a test sandbox at https://dev.outlook.com/RestGettingStarted
I am an android application developer (trying to be one) and I want to learn how to communicate with web sites from my applications. However, I don't know where to start. Can you point me in the right direction?
PS : I believe "web communcation standarts" is wrong term but i don't know how to call them.
I'd suggest that you learn by doing. Pick an idea - let's say you want to upload a picture from your Android phone to facebook.
Now go and research how to do that. Facebook exposes what they call the "Graph API" for all fb resources, including users, statuses, and photos, among other things. The Graph API is a REST API - in other words each item on the backend is modelled as a "resource" which is accessible from a URL. (Learn more about REST on wikipedia). Send a GET HTTP message to the given URL and you can get information on the resource. Send a POST to the container of that resource, and you can add another of whatever it is. In this model, to add a photo, you POST to the album URL. Read on FB for how to do that. They call it "publishing".
But reading that doc page you learn that in order to POST you need an authorization token.
Your app needs publish_stream permissions. How do you get that? Keep reading in the FB doc and you'll see a link to the Authentication and authorization guide. That tells you about how to use OAuth 2.0 in Facebook apps.
Your app will send its first feeble message out, and get an error response. Why? You'll want to examine the message. so you google and figure out that you can use an http debugging proxy to help you, something like Fiddler2 for Windows, or Charles for other systems. So you download that, set the proxy on your Android device, and now you can view outgoing HTTP messages and their responses on your PC.
Keep plugging along, learning what you need to accomplish the task in front of you: in this example, posting a photo from an android device to Facebook.
After you reach that goal, you will have learned quite a bit of practical knowledge for this domain of problem. Then you can try a new goal, and work on that.
After a few iterations of this, you will have learned how to learn, which is even better than learning REST or OAuth. If you know how to learn, the sky's the limnit.
Learn about HTTP first. There is far more to HTTP than there first appears. It is a building block for everything on the web.
