Do I have to subscribe to any plan to start using it?
I've been looking for it, but can't find it.

How to send photos with self-destruct timer using Telegram Bot API?

In the Telegram app, you can send photos that self-destruct and can't be screenshotted by clicking on the clock icon before sending them. Is there any way to reproduce this behavior using the Telegram Bot API?
I'm using python-telegram-bot and couldn't find anything in its docs, but i'm not even sure if the API allows it. I could delete the messages after some time using bot.delete_message, however, the important part here is that the images shouldn't be screenshottable.

Telegram Bot API does not support such method yet.

Yes, bot can delete messages "manually" but there's no way to control the ability of making screenshots.

Facebook App to Post HTTP GET to Timeline

A lot of the documentation online is pre open graph, and I find the Facebook developers documentation quite confusing (I'm a novice developer). Can someone please tell me, at a high level, how or where I might find out how to go about creating an app in Facebook where I can post to my business' page timeline through a single encoded HTTP GET (or similar) request.
I understand I might have to make a simple FB app and authorize it to talk with a separate web app. But I'm just looking at pointers at this stage.
well it isn't quite correct that you can only find pre-open graph things on Facebook. Anyhow, to post, you need an access token.
What you seek to do is update your fan page via app, if I get it correctly.
That isn't done with just one url: you need to call at least two:
1) one call is to authorize the app and get an access token
2) the second call is to get your accounts (fan pages) with ids and access tokens
3) the third call is to update your fan page via app.
The url to post via app would be https://graph.facebook.com/$your_id/feed with the following parameters: access_token, message (the message you want to post, not required), link (if any. Not required.), image (not required), description (not required), caption (not required), etc. You need at least a message or a link for the post. If you use php the easiest is a curl POST call. I've found something for you here, by the way

Subscribe to iCloud calendar on Google

I am trying to subscribe to an iCloud calendar on my Google calendar. I am really open to any methods, but here is the one that seems most likely to work. See instructions to build proxy calendar. The problems is that when I try to subscribe to this proxy calendar (using both webdav://... and _http://...), I get the error message "Settings Error--Could not fetch the url." I know the file should work because I was able to use it in Outlook. Any idea on how to fix this, or a completely different alternative that I have not found?
So, the problem fixed itself the next day. I assume this is because Google cached the error and was not going to bother fetching the calendar again. So I guess this was a non-issue.

How to process a google-checkout "buy-now button" transaction?

Google-checkout has a wizard that creates the html code for the button, but how do I have my website get confirmation that the transaction has been completed (or that it wasn't)?
EDIT: I have already seen pages such as https://developers.google.com/checkout/developer/Google_Checkout_HTML_API_Notification_API#Receiving_and_Processing_Notifications and the like. But I don't know how to implement them. For example: what is "HTTP Basic Authentication" , "HTTP request headers" , "HTTP 200 response code" , "POST" , etc.
So what I need is a simple (!) example with minimum code.
You would have to implement Google's Notification API. You can read about it here: Implementing the Notification HTML API.
Edit
In Response to:
Thanks. But unfortunately I don't know enough web developing to know
how to apply what is written there.
I'll be honest with you. Simple is relative and if you aren't familiar with some of the fundamental concepts as POST and request headers, it's likely you will never get a simple response.
Having said that, I believe the simplest solution for you is to manually confirm the transaction upon receipt of the confirmation email.
I envision that you would have some sort of management screen that displays a list of all 'pending' transactions. When you receive your confirmation email from Google, you would simply mark the corresponding transaction as having been completed. This is not entirely uncommon. In fact, since you are using single-item purchases using the Google button, this is probably the best option for you.
A more complex scenario (again not a simple solution), would be to create a service that will parse your emails and using some voodoo to map those emails to the corresponding transaction in your web app. This, though, is probably as advanced as implementing the Notification API.

Send Facebook message from application

How can I send a message to the currently logged in user from inside a Flex application contained in a Facebook iFrame and using the official AS3 Library for Facebook please?
To date the Graph API is the easiest way to work with facebook.
http://code.google.com/p/fbas/
It's far from a complete implementation, but Graph is so simple it shouldn't take long to implement any features you need.
NOTE: When I've used it I ported the javascript portion of the example code on the project's main page to AS3 & ExternalInterface. It reduced external dependencies to zero (with the exception of swfobject)
Facebook does not allow you to send messages . Either way , you can post to the user's friends feed on behalf of the user , with a custom message and the the notification for the post in feed will be displayed.
Post your request to http://graph.facebook.com/PROFILE_ID/feed
Requires the publish_stream permission.
