Is there a way to retrieve Responder Demographics advertising reports, which break down performance by age, gender, and location, via the Ads API? If not, is this report type a planned API feature, and is there an ETA for when it might be implemented?

I need to do reporting for my client and are looking into Power BI. What I need to do, is create the report and publish it to the client's website for the public. These reports are public knowledge, there is no security risk to distribute it.
The users should be able to see the report on the website and use some filtering options that comes with Power BI.
I have installed Power BI Desktop (free option) and created the report, but I can not 'Save as' to Web - there is no such option.
My questions are:
Do I need a licence to be able to publish to the web.
Once published to the web, will it be displayed on the website to the users with the functionality to filter and drill down even if they do not have Power BI license?
You have two options - Publish to web and to use the API to embed for your customers (a.k.a. app owns data).
In both cases you must publish the report to Power BI Service. You will need an account for that, but even the free one will work for Publish to web case. However, it is way more limited that the actual embedding using the API.
To register an account, you will need a "business e-mail address", i.e. GMail, Outlook, etc. will not work. This is required, because it will create a tenant for this domain, where the administrators in your organization can manage it.
For Publish to web the administrator must explicitly enable that option in the admin portal. Embedding using the API require programming skills, and normally you will need to buy a "dedicated capacity" (i.e. Power BI Embedded or Power BI Premium).
There is attendance tracking feature in Google Meet for business accounts that can be turned on in the settings and Google emails the report after the meeting ends. I want to know if an API is available to get the attendance report programmatically?
Attendance tracking is available in google workspace business plus or higher plans and now the api is also available with which you can get a lot of details but business plus or higher account is a pre-requisite.
Check the api documentation for more:

Paypal are hounding me to change my current payment gateway that uses their API, and hand it over to a third party (that presumably will charge for the service) because of the PDS2 (Payment Service Directive - revised) which demands Strong Customer Authentication (SCA) unless a transaction is exempt. The extra info can be a password, fingerprint or phone, but details on how to use their API for this are missing.
Paypal's documentation is close to useless, but Stripe's documentation have information as to what constitutes an exempt transaction, and in fact that the PDS2 only applies if the business AND the customer's bank is in the European Economic Area (ref: https://stripe.com/en-nl/guides/strong-customer-authentication) and that the bank deems the transaction as risky.
The definition of a risky transaction is subjective and decided by the banks, so the implication is that we MUST enable SCA. I use django-paypal which provides helper functions and data structures for using paypal's API.
Paypal are not too good at supporting developers, and communication with their technical staff is impossible. So I emailed the developer of django-paypal, but I have not received a response (https://github.com/appsumo/django-paypal-1).
The deadline for this is September 2019, after which paypal warn of declined transactions and general pestilence if there is non-compliance with PDS2. The odd thing is, SCA was also introduced as a version 1 (PDS) back in 2015, and there were warnings of declined transactions then too.
For credit card, I currently use django-paypal doDirectPayment which uses paypal's DoDirectPayment which uses SOAP. I don't see anything in the doc about supplying credentials for SCA with these methods. I assume that I don't need to do anything extra for redirected paypal payments, as paypal control this payment process.
UPDATE
Paypal have consigned Cardinal Commerce to provide some kind of API, BUT this is client side only using Songbird.js. They indicate there is a serverside solution though...
Because Songbird is a client side JavaScript library it can only
interact with payment brands client side. Any interactions that
require server side implementations, such as our Cardinal Cruise
Hybrid integration, are out of scope for Songbird.js and the merchant
may need to integrate directly to the Cardinal Centinel platform
directly.
Facebook offers an API for ads: https://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/ads-api/
In the docs they only describe how to do requests through the graph API. Are there correspondent FQL tables as well? I'd like to use querying: https://developers.facebook.com/docs/technical-guides/fql/
The tables you see via the FQL Table List are the only current connections provided. There's 3 ad tables currently there. If those aren't what you need, then FQL simply isn't possible right now. Maybe in the future, but not right now. Use the Graph API. There's a considerable amount of documentation available for Ads API (which is just a subset of the Graph API) too
Is it possible to access the demographic report data in the Facebook Ads API? If so, how do I do it? If not, why not? Will it be possible soon? I have clients who would really like to have access to this data through our system. It's such valuable information, I can't imagine why it hasn't been added to the API yet. Thanks in advance!
I Think that the only way to get the data is via the reports downloaded via the interface.
It will be great to have this functionality via API, because the scheduled reports are not working anymore.
