Soundcloud Limit on Play Requests - soundcloud

I'm new with SoundCloud API and want to verify something about the Rate Limit on Play Requests.
Is the /tracks/:id/stream limit of 15K per 24h is for playing videos via the html5-widget? does this mean I cannot play more than 15K songs per day? or i'm missing something..

These limits are applied to developer applications using the
SoundCloud API, and have no impact on the SoundCloud embedded player.

These API limits only apply when making API requests with your Client ID (JavaScript, Python, Ruby, or Objective-C SDKs). Because the HTML 5 Widget does not require an API key, these limits do not apply to that player.

Facebook Channel support (Beta) doesn't allow quick replies, buttons, media, etc

Does anybody know if there's any way of using standard Facebook Messenger features like quick replies, buttons or templates from Facebook Channel (Beta) via Programmable API?
As it is right now it seems too limited to be of any use beyond simple text conversations; no prefilled answers, no links to actions or products...
Are there any (short term) plans to support it? (just being able to send a json like in Facebook own API would be more than enough https://developers.facebook.com/docs/messenger-platform/reference/buttons/quick-replies)
Right now, you are right that the integration is relatively simple.
What you want to look out for is the Twilio Messaging Content API which is currently in pilot. The Content API is intended to make rich messaging across any of the channels that Twilio offers easier. The Content API will wrap each of the channels, making it straightforward to add buttons, actions or prefills to messages over channels that support it, with fallbacks for simpler channels (like our old friend SMS). The API is in pilot right now, but you can register your interest and request access here.

Soundcloud connector to Google Data Studio

I would like to display the statistics of Soundcloud more clearly. An import to Google Data Studio would be very helpful. Is this possible?
Assuming SoundCloud has an API, this can be done through creating a community-connector. There are no plans to add a first-party connector to SoundCloud.
Thanks for your quick answer. I would like to create a community-connector with the Soundcloud API. The Problem is that I cant' create a SoundCloud Application Registration because of the following notice:
SoundCloud Application Registration
Due to the high amount of requests recently received, we will no longer be processing API application requests at this time. We are working to re-evaluate our process to make it more efficient.
Do you know when the registration is available?

How to get total count of images from google photos api

Is there any way to get total count of google images using google photos api using javascript
This is not currently supported in the Google Photos Library API.
(As a work around, you can continue to search/list until you have received all media items and count them.)
Here's a feature request on the issue tracker to add support for this to the mediaItems:search request: https://issuetracker.google.com/111716613 (You can 'star' this issue to be notified of any updates and draw attention to this request.)

Using Facebook for an online magic contest (Video upload /

I am currently developing a new website / facebook app for an online magic competition. I am hoping most of the functionality can come from Facebook's own services, and would like your feedback on how plausible our goals are.
Essentially there will be two types of users: magicians and voters. Magicians will upload a video of them performing a trick (or select a video they have already uploaded). Voters will vote for their favourite magicians, and be able to post these videos to their wall.
Are these possible:
Video upload to Facebook - I have had a search, but the only method I found uses the depreciated REST API. Is there a newer implementation?
Video download - After a user has uploaded a video are they (or can we) able to download their video from Facebook?
Embedding magicians Facebook videos on the standalone website?
Thank you in advance
You can still upload videos and photos using the graph api. We have done this into galleries for a number of clients.
see here for a picture example (works with other media objects such as videos):
Is it possible to post a status update and adding an image file with facebook graph API?
The problems you may face though are the issues of managing and approving content in the site.
One solution we have found is to combine YouTube API and Facebook to get the best of both worlds. you can now embed a YouTube uploader in your site / app which will post videos into a channel of yours but have an approval app to control what lands. Then add any voting mechanism of your choice to the stream of videos. You can use YouTube likes, Facebook likes or your own. Take a look at this video:

You can embed a YouTube channel into Facebook easily too:

Also using youtube, you can spread your net farther to reach more of an audience.
Hope this can be of some help. (No, I don't work for YouTube just find using more than one platform better)

Facebook High Scores Server

I want to merge my High Scores with facebook.
In other words, I don't want to mantain my own score server but I would like to let make the dirt work to facebook.
So I want to publish new scores and retrieve them to display in my game.
Can I do it? What API can I use? Is it possible with REST?
EDIT: Many games in fb show global scores & friends score. How can I do it?
You could write data to fb with this: http://wiki.developers.facebook.com/index.php/Data_Store_API_documentation
However, i'd reccomend using a more stable mature platform like Google app engine. Facebook's API's have been extremely flaky lately, and when I was using the facebook datastore, I'd often find it to be slow and even worse, return inconsistent results.
