Instagram Fetch E-Mail (2019 Fix?) - c#

Few hours ago, Instagram patched a way to see business accounts' E-Mail address. Is there a good API or any other way to fetch business account E-Mail?

I have noticed the same :( not sure if it's an intended change or just a bug (they might already be rolling out the new business hashtag features, so maybe it's due to that).

How can we see the BigBlueButton's meeting's attendees joined date and time from BBB's API web service?

I could not find any answer to my question in the document below.
https://docs.bigbluebutton.org/dev/api.html#getmeetinginfo
Maybe an experienced developer can find an alternative way or already know the answer.
Thank you.
not from the api... but you can enable keepEvents on server, or use learning dashboard in 2. to get this information
There is no easy way, Bigbluebutton v2.4 has learning dashboard that does not implemented API and each learning dashboard has TTL, you can call get_meeting_info API each 5 minutes and store attendees in redis or any key-value database (for performance) and calculate attendance of users.

Working with PayPal HERE and PayPal API

I am trying to use the PayPal Here Sideloader (C# web application). I am getting unexpected results where the Application doesn't always return to my web application in Safari (iPad). Also, it opens a new tab every time. So I decided to use IPN to handle processing after the purchase.
But while using PayPal HERE, I noticed that check and cash transactions are not calling my IPN Url. I tried to search transactions using the REST API and I don't even see them. Credit card and Apple pay transactions work fine. So my question is two fold.
After speaking to someone at PayPal who might or might not know what they are talking about said something to the effect of, 'those transactions aren't supported'. I don't necessarily believe that because if I have the Invoice Id (INV2-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX) I can use the REST API to get what I need. Was the person correct, or has anyone else done this before?
What if I have my custom Order Id (see image), how can I get the Invoice Id?
(I've looked at the Invoicing API (REST) and TransactionSearch (NVP) and neither of these return information about the transaction.
After feeling like I have searched the ENTIRE internet, I saw that the documentation for the iOS and Andriod SDK mentioned the URL for the PayPal Here API.
That url (for production) is https://www.paypal.com/webapps/hereapi/merchant/v1
I just happen to add '/invoices/' to it and got an authentication error. Once I was able to authenticate, I see that this returns a list of all 'invoices' processed in PayPal Here. You'll need to connect using OAuth2, but the list is what I needed to filter based on order ID.

Good service for checking usps addresses?

Does anyone in the us know of a good service (api) that I can use on a web site to verify the usps address a customer would input? One of the other developers has the code in place but it checks a dvd that we receive in the mail every quarter. We would like to just check this over the web instead so it does not go out of date. We would also like it to format the address as well. If anyone has any good suggestions please let me know. This could obviously be a paid solution. Thanks!
The USPS has web services for this. Check out their Address Information API.
Make sure mailing addresses are correct. With each tool, up to five
lookups can be processed per request. Additional permission is
required to use these Ecommerce APIs.
This question is very specific to a company. You can use the USPS tracking webpage and you have to parse the content on that page or use an API that the USPS provides if there are any. This is specific to a company.

Seems to be a very accurate service although I've never used their API, just the website.

Get contacts emails from Hotmail/Live

I've been tearing my hair out for a while now about the best way to get import a users email contacts from a variety of different services, I didn't manage to find a decent .net solution and have ended up creating an interface for the open source PHP OpenInviter. However this doesn't work with Hotmail/windows live anymore, so I thought I'd do that myself with the Live Connect API (using REST and OAuth2), however the contacts only return a email_hashes which is no use as I want their actual email addresses, as I'm trying to import them into a new email address book.
Any ideas at all on how to do this or if it's possible at all! OAuth, screen scraping, whatever I'm not fussed I'd just like to get it done.
Thanks
Apparently there is no official solution to this problem (see http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/messengerconnect/thread/c5bc9b10-6080-40bf-a7ce-951a60efdfcb/#c5bc9b10-6080-40bf-a7ce-951a60efdfcb).
And according to the forums trying to do it is against terms and conditions (trying things like screen scraping).
I had this problem too. But then I found out that Google Plus is capable of pulling contacts from Hotmail accounts so I just looked at how Google Plus does it.
Just go the the "circles" page and look for the "inviter"-like functionality. There you find Hotmail, and if you look at how it works, you see that you need to add wl.emails and wl.contacts_emails to the scope when you request authorization from the Hotmail user.
As far as I can see you are already familiar with OAUTH and probably just picked wl.basic as the scope?..

Login to online accounts

First time poster. Back to programming after being away for a few years, trying to clean off the rust. I'm creating a dashboard that will run initially on my laptop (Macbook Pro, 10.4.x O/S). Amongst other things I want it to retrieve latest information from my online accounts. I'm starting with html, but will probably migrate to something else (TBD, possibly ruby or c#). What would sample code look like for logging into account, going through specific account workflow, retrieve data/docs/other, and pull it back to be stored locally.
It is a little open-ended, apologies and thanks in advance.
Are you looking for something like Google Gears?
It depends on the kind of accounts you want to log onto.
For instance there is a Google has an specific API for that Google Accounts API, other services provide similar API's some other do not.
So it depends pretty much what are your "online accounts" all about and if they do provide a public API or not.
EDIT
As per your comment and for the products you've mentioned, I'll suggest your to start looking at browsers plugin development and to start understanding the HTTP protocol and all the related technologies around it ( HTTPS, encryption, authentication etc. )
The public API let you easily login into an account, but you don't really need one to do it ( although it make life much more simpler ) If you do not have a public API, you can still login into any account by "simply" doing what the browser does. Sending an HTTP(s) request with the appropriate security mechanism and following the protocol.
If you know how does the browser send the request and you have the user trusting your their passwords, the only remaining thing you have to do is ... :) code it.
As of now the question is too broad to be answered. Pick one service at a time and ask specific questions about it.
I would suggest you to start with the previously mentioned "Google Accounts" API and learn from there.
One open source product that already manages google account authentication is "Ubiquity" you can take a peak at their source code and start understanding how do they fetch the user contact list.
