I am a very new developer who can write basic HTML (yes I know it's English), and is looking for a solution to a problem that I basically invented.
I recently bought a product called Doorbird, a very cool and well engineered IP Doorbell. The reason I bought it, is because it has an App, and integrates with IP phones and support video, and has a few bells and whistles, if you're not familiar with this product, I highly recommend looking at it.
The "problem" is that it does not integrate with Google Home, or Amazon Echo. However, it does have an API that allows you to go to the URL, login and unlock the door. I was looking into creating my own action that would have the Google Home login to the Doorbell and go to the unlock URL.
My issue is, I have no experience with this, but I pick things up very quickly, and believe in myself!
I already looked at the api.ai site from Google, and have signed up. It looked simple, but upon further investigation looks very complicated.
If anyone would be able to point me in the right direction I would be greatly appreciative.
Thanks in advance,
-Jack G
You need them to publish their REST api so that you can call the 'action' to unlock directly vs. having to go to a login page. You would probably set up oauth to have your server talk to theirs or use web headers. Ask their tech support if they support direct REST api using a security model.

Recently I have been trying to re-boot my app. This includes adding google play services to my app.
I setup a google cloud platform account and then linked it with the developer console for my app.
Next I setup the OAuth consent screen. After completing everything it asked me to verify my website and domain; I completed this step with the google search API.
Despite all of these efforts I still got the error, Pending developer action.
Here is my verified domain (blurred out for obvious reasons):
After observing the documentation a little bit more, it tells me that I must continue/reply to the email thread with their Trust and Safety team, but I have not received any emails from them with my developer email -
Thanks in advance

I have actually found the solution to this problem, and I think I can safely say that this is due to human error every single time.
When linking your google play app in the developer console to google cloud it might automatically create one for you, but if you reload the page it will make a second one. You have to make sure you select the right google cloud app to link because it might not properly connect if you use the wrong one.
Once you have done this you need to create a website or link a website that has been verified (you can verify it yourself) with google. You should then be able to setup your app easily! Not every step will be instant you might sometimes have to wait a day or two for it to work.
I'm sure I sound like a total noob with this question, and I've looked at a couple posts that are basically asking the same question in the title, but the body didn't give anything helpful to my skill or knowledge level.
In this post the OP mentioned that they did some "digging and drilling" to find out that there was a web service in REST format. In another post I found that the OP was using "web console" to look at the activity of a website they were visiting.
I would really like to have more knowledge and methods for finding web services that I can reference and use is some of my new or updated applications, whether RESTful or not. In summary, how do I "dig and drill" to find that a site has a web service I can use programmatically?
The only sensible way to find web services that you can use is to ask.
If the service is intended for your use, then you will be told that.
If the service is not intended for your use, then you will be told that.
If you use a service that is not intended for your use, then that will generally be a bad thing.
I have a Joomla site and I want to block Internet Explorers users visiting the site but showing them a custom page to upgrade to another browser.
thanx in advance
Wow, that's a bad idea and I hate IE. You have to keep in mind that there are many users that don't have the option to switch browsers - most users surfing from work are not allowed to install any software so you would be impacting your traffic pretty seriously.
Really, there is no valid reason not to support IE7/8 or newer. It's not hard to make sites work in IE if they are coded well. Stick to good practices and most issues are simply not an issue.
That said, if you REALLY want to do this, all you need is a simple bit of javascript that detects the browser's user agent then redirects as needed. There are hundreds of scripts for detecting user agents, just Google it.
I want to make an extension for Chrome that customers have to enter their username and password. Then after that they can view their account information by the extension instead of log in to website.
But firstly I'm beginner in developing Chrome extension then after I read some articles about it, now I don't know Where I can start?
Secondly my big problem is using web service in my extension because I have to get customer user/pass and send them to my web service (.net) to get information.
I appreciate you if you give me your ideas/sample code/tutorial/...
But firstly I'm beginner in developing Chrome extension then after I read some articles about it, now I don't know Where I can start?
Start from hello worlds, of course. I would recommend refreshing your knowledge of HTML/CSS and Javascript, as Chrome extensions are essentially local web pages.
But before you dive into new technology, think if you really need to do this as a Chrome extension. Maybe a simple set of webpages will be a better (and cross-browser) choice? Do you really need chrome.* API? Maybe you can share some additional details, like why did you decide to go with Chrome extension in the first place.
I have developed a web application in Django that accepts payments (and recurring payments) in paypal. Application works OK, however users encourage me to consider other payment options.
Problem is that I tried some and either (a) did not find an API to work on, or (b) do not offer their services outside the US (e.g. stripe or BrainTree[*]).
So my question is, do you know of a payment method that would integrate with django as easy as django-paypal and work for companies outside the US?

[*] Although BT does not offer services outside the US, I have been given the option to contact them about that. I contacted them and I am waiting for their answer.
You may want to check out Ogone. I found a project that integrates this with Django here.
