I want my Django application to connect to an application called Buffer. I've previously connected directly to Twitter using the python-twitter library (http://code.google.com/p/python-twitter/), but I'd like to post to more platforms simultaneously, therefore Buffer seems to fit my needs.
However, I have no clue how to achieve this. I've googled around a bit and figured that I need to create an oAuth Client (or some call it Consumer?), but that's basically where I'm at.
My question is therefore as follows:
Where do I start to connect to Buffer using oAuth?
Is there a library that does the work for me, like the python-twitter library? Or do I need to start from scratch? And if that's the case, some guidance is needed.
I recently had to interface with a API and had no trouble using oauth2. pydanny's post gives you an overview, and some background on why your decision might be harder than anticipated.

I'm android developer I'm making app with simple login and sending and receiving messages and pictures. Searching on internet making me really confuse. I don't know where to start and what to use. There are many ways to make and many libraries like node.js php phalcon, asp.net mvc, ruby sinatra etc. I just want to where should i start and what should i use.
Because you mentioned Android, Java has many options for creating RESTful backends. Dropwizard is fairly straight-forward and comes with its own built-in server, which means you won't have to worry about setting that up yourself. Play is another good option. There's a bit of a learning curve with it, but once you figure it out, it has a lot of tools out of the box that help you make REST APIs.
Here's the documentation for Play:

P.S. - This question is likely to get flagged as not being the right fit for SO. You'll probably still get replies, but asking for opinions is something that people will try to discourage you from doing.
I am new to Enyo and web services. I am looking to build a web page with Enyo that will require use of Echonest. Can anyone help me understand how to connect to the Echonest service from inside Enyo and whether to use SOAP, REST, or something else?
I assume you are talking about the Echo Nest found here: http://the.echonest.com ?
Briefly glancing at their API, you may not have to use SOAP or REST since everything is accessible with simple GET requests through the Web service. It looks like the hardest part of using their API will be generating OAuth signatures for authenticated requests.
As far as the enyo.WebService, http://enyojs.com/api/#enyo.WebService, goes, you should be able to include the kind, set the URL and call the .send() method on it. Then you response handler would get the data back (I recommend json) so you can do what you will with it.
Another option would be to use enyo.Ajax, http://enyojs.com/api/#enyo.Ajax, directly. enyo.WebService wraps that and provides a familiar (to Enyo 1 developers) way to use it.
I would like to ask a relatively simple question in which I didn't put much thought in yet. But I'd just like to know if this is possible before starting painful implementations of my app!
Here it is : Is it possible (and easy..) to run an application and communicate with files on the client's computer from a web application developped in Django ?
I'd really just like to know if it's feasible. Of course if you have a few hints on how to do it, they would be appreciated :)
Yes, it's perfectly possible to do that. You just need to add a proper URL with its corresponding view, processing your HTTP request from client machines and interacting with local files as you need.
Key thing here is to use a proper HttpClient on the machine accessing your client's file.
I want to integrate the RESTful-API in my Qt-Project.
I already read the example on this page, but this is only for receiving data from a RESTful-interface, not for sending new data to the server. In Java, I can use RESTlet for example, is there any possibility to use something like that for Qt, too?
Or is there even a simple way to send data from Qt to RESTful, for example when I create a XML before?
Since REST is just normal URL access, there's no reason you can't use the Qt HttpClient interfaces to talk to you backend Java REST interface. You just have to make a determination to use XML or JSON - both have very capable libraries available, and both are just text interfaces.
Odd you ask, I'm in the middle of doing this very thing myself today - I'm implementing a JSON based REST interface in Java, and I'll wire up the plumbing to my Qt app shortly.
I'll make an effort to update this answer as I progress.
I have built a webcrawler in C++. I am using an API called URLdownloadToFile().
Is there any other API that can be used?
The API URLdownloadToFile() is working well for some URLs and it is not working well for some other URLs? Please suggest some ways I can overcome this problem?
Thanks,

You might want to look into libcurl which should allow you to pull content using a variety of protocols. This should also support proxies etc which might be what is giving you problems with specific urls. See also; http://curl.haxx.se/
You might want to look at WinINet which is a simple C API for high-level interface with the HTTP network stack. Another option is WinHttp which is somewhat more compilcated and requires you do deal with COM.
Unless there is a particular reason for sticking with c++ you could well be better off switching to Python and using BeautifulSoup. I've used curl, and it is nice, but all my web stuff is done in Python now
