google docs + web app - web-services

Hi Guys
I am trying to create a web app to share docs with all editor features (just like google docs).
My main requirements for this app are as follows:
1. Should have all editor features (can be done using open office api, google docs api, Microsoft office web apps api)
2. Should be shared between multiple users and can be edited by multiple users and other sync features (can be done using google docs api, Microsoft office web apps)
3. Can save the document created and edited on my own/ custom server addr. (Which api can support this??? I know open office can support this)
Guys can you please suggest me one api which can be used to do all the above. Also please suggest if I am underestimating any API above regarding any functionality that i thing is not supported.
Thanks
King

What you are asking for is so complex it takes a Google to make a "in progress" version!
Can't you just use Google API? Its is free. Your only issue would be logging users via OAuth, 1 simple API

Manage "Web and Mobile Apps" via REST API

Looking into how to manage (in our case just list and get properties of) the SAML application that we have created via the "Web and Mobile Apps" section of the google console.
I don't see any reference to how to get this information from the https://developers.google.com/admin-sdk/directory/reference/rest documentation.
Is this API available somewhere else?
It is not possible. All you can use are the API methods listed in the documentation you shared, however you can only see the SAML apps from the Admin console web UI.
You can also request this as a feature using the "Missing features" option, to see if they have the chance to develop something like this.

C++ Google Calendar API

Hi All: I am supposed to provide Google calendar support on my C++ application running on Linux machine.
I came to know Google APIs Client Library for C++ is deprecated.So, I would like to know as to how I can provide calendar support in my Cpp application.
What steps should I follow and better if you redirect me to some URL ?
Thanks
I think you can use google calendar api using REST API.

Is there a service that allows to access multiple API's using unified interface and one login?

Some time ago I was browsing the web, when I found a service that allowed to access multiple API's using single, unified interface and single login.
I remember that I browsed the catalog of API's and check OCR services to see what features they offer.
I don't remember if it was a free service or paid one. I didn't bookmark it and now I can't find it. I have found only API's catalog on Programmable Web.
Is anyone knows the name of this service?
Well, after getting one vote down I decided to google more. No results. I reviewed bookmarks and... bingo!
It's called mashape.com and what I have had in mind was this catalogue.
Disclaimer: I have no connection to this service. I just liked the idea.
Edit:
I have just found API search:
{API}Search.
It does not allow to access mutiple API's using single credentials, but might be usefull for API's discovery.

Collection of information on all youtube videos

I am a first year C.S student...so please bear with me. I want to create a website which hosts all information about Youtube videos, like the number of views, likes, dislikes so that I can do some analytics on it. So how do I go about getting that information?
You can use the YouTube Analytics API's to obtain reporting metrics about YouTube Channels and Videos. Specific information on the metrics and reports available:
https://developers.google.com/youtube/analytics/v1/channel_reports
https://developers.google.com/youtube/analytics/v1/dimsmets/dims
https://developers.google.com/youtube/analytics/v1/dimsmets/mets
To access the API's you will need to use OAuth 2.0 and register with Google API's. Create or use an existing Google Account and navigate to the Google API's Console. Here you can manage the different API's you have access to.
You didn't mention what language you're using, but Google publishes libraries to help you build your application that take care of a lot of the low level implementation details. You can find the client libraries for Google API's here. YouTube client library can be found here.
In short, you will need to do some research. Google has excellent documentation and I hope the links provided can get you started. I recommend reading through the links and building a quick POC to get familiar with how the API's work before designing your system.
Good luck!

Will SharePoint 2010 support Web Service Access?

It's my understanding SharePoint 2010 has introduced a new JavaScript API, a brand new assembly for Silverlight clients, but does anybody know if there will be still support for good old Web Service Access?
By old services, I am referring to the old interface
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd878586.aspx
Yes SharePoint 2010 still has web services. Review this MSDN section for more information.
Essentially the new API's are there to help client side code run interesting code without having to use the Web Services. If you have ever tried utilising a webservice from Javascript you can understand the pain the new API's are trying to prevent.
The Web services are still supported. However, the data-retrieval oriented Web services should be considered semi-deprecated. Going forward, you shoul use either the client object model or ADO.NET Data Services to get data from a client.
I've been trying to figure out how to administrate the whole thing with whatever APIs are available. The MSDN documentation seems like what I need, except I feel stupid and can't find where those APIs are on my server. There are no URLs to be seen in the documentation. Am I blind?
