Im working on a small project in my company where I'm using Outlook REST APIs.
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/outlook/rest/get-started
So far so good.
The application is also registered in Microsoft Azure Active Directory. As explained here:
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/graph/tutorials/angular?context=outlook%2Fcontext
Our application is permanently running and needs to get data every like 1 minute.
This causes a lot of requests.
So are there any costs regarding Microsoft Api that I should know about.
Or is the Calendar Api completely free.
Didn't find any helpful information out there so far.
Thanks in advance for any help.
Check Microsoft Graph API. Which uses all the Office 365 Apps connected with API endpoints.

I'd like to get access to the API Testing console (the one mentioned in the Quick start of the Cognitive services translation services, useful to test the API without writing a single line of code), but I don't find any direct access to on the Microsoft Azure. Thanks in advance for your help.
I think the text you mention about the console is a copy-paste error from other cognitive services quick start page.
Generally with Cognitive Services, you can find webpages which seems to be hosted under Azure API Management, where you got the basic documentation and access to a testing Console. For example for West Europe, all the services are here: https://westeurope.dev.cognitive.microsoft.com/docs/services/
And for Anomaly Detector API, you can see the link to the testing console:
Sadly, it seems that there is not equivalent for Translator API.
You still have samples on Github that you can use, in several dev languages: https://github.com/MicrosoftTranslator
Or you can directly call the API with a tool like Postman, it is really easy to implement
I am evaluating wep api gateway for my new projects. I used azure api gateway in the past. Reading about nginx as it is new and adopted by many. Can someone help me point out with some facts, pros, cons? Bug matrix will be a best help for me
Azure API Management is a mature and widely-used product, with many customers being very respected enterprises. Take a look at some public case studies.
It offers a very wide range of features, which are typical of an API management platform, and it is still being very actively developed. However, one of its biggest strengths lies in integration with Microsoft Azure services and features - multiregional deployments, virtual networks, monitoring and alerting solutions, native support for Service Fabric, Azure Function Apps and Azure Logic Apps, Azure Active Directory and others.
If you are considering hosting your new projects with Microsoft Azure, Azure API Management is a no-brainier.
The product is also one of the main reasons why Gartner named Microsoft a leader in the enterprise integration space.
Disclaimer: Although all of the above is best to my knowledge, I am affiliated with Azure API Management.
Although I have just started looking into this myself, here's what I can already conclude.
Looking at www.nginx.com/blog/deploying-nginx-plus-as-an-api-gateway-part-1/, Nginx requires a lot of manual configuration washed over many text files. That doesn't look flexible or effective, but I may have gotten a wrong impression.
Judging by how you're supposed to define your API keys using the map directive, Nginx API Gateway also looks like a new idea stretched on top of the existing product, while Azure API was designed for that exact purpose from the ground up.
Azure APIs, when published, come with auto-generated documentation and an interactive console that are in sync with all your updates.
With Azure API, you're putting all your eggs into one basket and completely depending on it's pricing and availability. At any moment Microsoft can increase their prices, or discontinue the product, and you cannot migrate elsewhere, at least not easily/quickly. At the same time, you can do your Nginx work once and run it on pretty much any server, starting with a low-end VPS or a Raspberry PI, if you'd like. It's pretty much yours.
I want to integrated Zoho CRM with Reckon application,
firstly i am trying to integrated Reckon Accounts Hosted and read out Docs and they provide some FTP details and forcing to implement first Reckon Accounts Desktop API.
also i am using Ubuntu 16.04 so is it possible to integrated this on linux machine and does anyhave idea to implement API of Reckon Step by stp.
Thanks.
Reckon api
This is correct. The first step is to learn how to write the XML used by the desktop version - and it is also used with Hosted. The destop version used the qbxmlrp2.dll - Hosted connects initially through the API, but then you embed the xml in post requests that are passed through the qbxmlrp2.dll. Reckon use Version 6.1 of the QuickBooks SDK which is now quite a few versions behind the American SDK. We found the Intuit documentation for the SDK to be quite thorough, but as of may 2017 the Reckon Hosted documentation is not overly helpful and leaves a lot to be figured out.
I need to get hardware information from azure web roles / web worker to monitor it for critical conditionals like high memory/cpu usage.
I tried to use some addons which are provided in the azure gallery like the one from "logentries", but the gallery doesn't support my country yet...
Is there an other way to get the log information directly?
Last option would be Azure Diagnostics, but it stores everything in blob storages and I would have to pull everything out there on my own and send it to "manually" to logentries, geckoboard or whatever.
Three good options:
Windows Azure Diagnostics. Yes, it puts everything in table/blob storage which is painful, but there are tools such as Cerebrata's Azure Management Studio that can help gather and visualize the data.
Application Insights. This is still in preview, but it provides a very rich application monitoring and alerting platform.
The built in Azure monitoring. This is not quite as feature rich as Application Insights, but it is very easy to setup and use and includes monitoring and alerting.
I'm surprised that no one mentioned New Relic.
It has a comparable feature set to Application Insights but should be way more stable since it's not in preview like Insights. (although I am following the development of Insights closely, give it a while and it will be an awesome alternative)
I have a client interested in a real time chat application for a SharePoint intranet portal to enable online interview style chat sessions.
Has anyone got reccomendations for a product on the Microsoft Stack that does this? Something that is integrated into SharePoint would be prefferable, but any ASP.NET product would suffice.
The solution would need to be pretty robust as we would expect over 1000 users during a given session.
Microsoft Office Communication Server is the way Microsoft intended chat for SharePoint. I dont know if its just for 1 to 1 communcation or if there is a good multi-user support.
Another way to implement chat (or IM) in SharePoint is to use Windows Live Messanger and the green precense icon which shows up to the left of all names in SharePoint. But this is probably not the way you want to use chat.
We initially turned to handy Windows Live Messanger, However we dropped it because of security concerning.
We are using Groove, which look advisable so far.
FYI
There is ChatterBox. It's more of a demo app but the source code is available. The latest version is dated 2007 and is in beta with AJAX support.
As you have the source code, I'm sure you could take it and turn it into something nice.
I did a little work into this but dropped it because it take alot work to implete all needed features.
The easiest way looked to use IRC. IRC client software is available as asp.net, use via an iframe or make into a custom web part, there are also flash or java clients which could be imbedded.
You would need to setup a IRC server.
There is a third party product for SharePoint 2010 called GameTime that supports real-time web based chat integrated into SharePoint.
