Integrating DirectSmile with CS-Cart - integration

I'm trying to use cs-cart to sell e-cards. I want to use DirectSmile.com API to customize the card from cs-cart itself. I'm familiar with the DirectSmile API; that's not a problem. I'm just wondering if there is a way to change the cs-cart workflow a bit to allow users to customize and buy such products.
Is that possible with cs-cart?
Thanks

It is possible. You can create an add-on to work with the DirectSmile.com.
Look at the "Gift Certificates" add-on. This add-on allows to add to cart a new structured product: Gift card.
So you can do the same: Create your own type of products.

Can you use Instagram API to customize a user's feed/ add existing UI to the website?

I had this idea for an app/extension that adds functionality to Instagram by allowing the user to categorize all of the people/accounts they follow into groups related by subject (ex. Memes, Friends, Sports) and have the ability for the user to select certain groups they want to display in their feed. However, I'm not sure if the Instagram API can let me edit/get info about the users feed and their followers so I'm wondering if there is some other API/library I could implement or if Instagram's API can let me do this.
Any advice/tips about the following would be greatly appreciated
editing/adding custom UI to existing webpages
how to retrieve information about IG posts (ex. The account that posted)
Feel free to ask any questions I will try my best to respond as quick as I can.
Thanks

Programmatically add a browser payment method

I was looking at the payment request API for web payments, and was wondering if it's possible to programmatically add a browser payment method.
I can add manually e.g. in Chrome via Settings > Privacy and security > Autofill > Payment methods, but would like to be able to do this programmatically.
TIA.
If you are asking about adding a new credit card information, it's not possible. However, adding a payment app is part of the standard Web Payments specifications and the added payment apps will appear there in the future.
For example, you can add one from here: https://bobpay.xyz/
There are only a few real payment apps out there yet, Web Payments working group at W3C is working hard at making it better and enabling the ecosystem.

PayPal Buy Now with SQL database update

How would I go about creating a Buy now paypal button for a website. And having a textbox where the buyer can enter some text and when they buy "as in the payment works instantly" have the string be added to a database?
Are you using a CMS? What language have you written your site in?
PayPal provide APIs for multiple language and code which can be generated for dynamic buttons. Have you looked through the developer documentation? First sign up for a developer account and assess the options that are available for you. PayPalAPI Overview
I think you want to achieve a "Sale" through PayPal rather than an Authorization -> Capture and store the unique PayPal reference to SQL against an order!
If you want to receive Paypal payments , you must deploy some code on you web-server .
API documentation is here :
https://developer.paypal.com/docs/api-basics/#
And very important you can test all your workflows with Paypal sandbox

Check out the amazon product advertising API. Be sure to read the full documentation.
The API has many methods that can be used to search, look up created and modify shopping cart.

Rapportive details save to google contacts

Is there any option to save updated contact details provided by Rapportive to google contacts ?
Any greasemonkey script or Firefox plugins ?
I've never seen that sort of Greasemonkey script of Firefox plugin, but conceivably it would be doable to rig up something to that effect. It all depends on Rapportive's Terms of Service, however.
Programmatically, Rapportive doesn't currently offer an outbound API - they currently only offer a way to programmatically send info to them regarding contacts. So you'd have to go about it another way. Scraping the info that's displayed could be an option - but I'd do due diligence first & be sure to read their policies. They might prohibit that sort of thing (they're owned by LinkedIn, whose TOS are known to be very restrictive).
You could also accomplish this sort of thing using FullContact (disclosure - my company). Our Address Book app (in beta) adds photos, social profile links, titles, etc. - the same sort of data returned by Rapportive - to Google Contacts and syncs in real-time.
We don't use Rapportive's data - the data is all public social profile data, returned by our social profile APIs - but the Address Book should help you do exactly what you're looking to do.
