I want to make an app for windows phone 8 to post status on Google plus with user signing in only once and without any Google's share button so that I can schedule the status update.
I tried googling but some old posts say that it cant be done while some point that some 3rd party apis can do it however I cant locate any reliable api.
Is this thing possible to do now or still hard luck??
I know this thread How to post in Google+ wall
But it is 2 years old , I want to know if there is an update.
Thanks.
Simply NO. I was also searching for the same earlier in summer & all in vain.

So I've been trying to figure out what's going on with ads in desktop applications, and looking at APIs, Google's API seems low on examples and documentation, and I didn't manage to make any sense out of it, and the Bing API seems to be concerning itself with those who want to be advertised, rather than affiliates. In retrospect, so does Google's.
My currently leading idea is to just drop in a web form in my Windows Forms application, and load the HTML that the Google/Bing/Whoever would give me for my webpage, that should register as the ad being viewed/clicked etc. But that seems a bit amateurish, I would imagine there would be a component ready for displaying ads.
So the question is, do advertising APIs from the major players (Google, Bing, Amazon etc) target affiliates or not? If not, does the web browser component method work, or may it lead to having the account revoked due to suspicious use of the HTML code (to prevent scam etc)?
Additionally, I found out that Amazon forbids use of the ads in applications not specifically related to Amazon itself, it seems alright to do so for Bing and Google but I can't find conclusive proof of it, does anyone know what's going on with that?
I want to create simple app, console or ASP .NET to create bunch of planned posts to my Facebook Page. I know there are ways to post posts to Facebook Page via apps, but I am not sure if it is possible to create planned posts.
This is just idea, so I just want to learn if there is some automagic to do this, or it is super complicated. I don't want to neither invent wheel again from the scratch or make harakiri workaround if there is no such function in Facebook API (as I never saw that there).
Thanks in regards for hints.
If by "planned posts" you mean scheduled posts where the post is only made public on a given date, then you are probably looking for this. Create a normal post but set scheduled_publish_time to a future date when you want other users to see it.
scheduled_publish_time: Time when this post should go live, this can be
any date between ten minutes and six months from the time of the API
call.
Once you create scheduled posts, you can retrieve them using /{page-id}/promotable_posts. They do not show up under /{page-id}/feed before they are published.
In WP8.1 the MS maps app has favorite places like Home and Work. Cortana uses them of course. Is there a public API to get access to those information and even set new places?
Not at the moment. The only thing you can "ask" Cortana right now is to fire up your app with the argument you told her.
There's no way to get to her notebook, that's where all that info is stored.
Not sure if I'd want third party apps getting into that info. That's what Cortana uses to give you accurate answers, if third party apps can 'get in there' it could trick her into giving you "wrong" info/answers/directions.
I'm making an automated updater on a google docs and i've been stuck for many hours trying to figure out how to trigger a scroll down on the spreadsheet,
i've also tried other solutions posted here

here is my code on scrolling down:
js.ExecuteScript("window.scrollTo(0,Math.max(document.documentElement.scrollHeight," +
"document.body.scrollHeight,document.documentElement.clientHeight));");
I need help if there's any other solution

While I am a massive fan of selenium, is it really the best tool for updating a Google Docs spreadsheet?
Unless I was working for Google, and I would not try and automate this application.
However, there is an API provided by Google specifically to access spreadsheets;
https://developers.google.com/google-apps/spreadsheets/
Going via the API will be far faster and reliable.
I want to post on the user's wall while tagging a few of his/her friends in it (up to 8 people). Another option is to post on these 8 friends' wall instead.
I used the example given here -
http://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/api/post/#publishing
And I tried to add "to" section to it (based on what I saw in Facebook Open Graph API) with no luck. Trying to change posting to .Post("[fbid]/feed") didn't work as well. It just posted on my wall instead.
What am I doing wrong? can someone publish a full example?
The Graph API does not currently support tagging users in posts, although it has been requested as a feature. You could make 8 different wall posts but there is a chance that you application will get disabled for too many wall posts if enough users hide your application or mark it as spam. But to do it, you just do an HTTP POST to /friendId/feed.
