I have a REST API published to Google Endpoints and have been using the API Explorer to interact with it. When I accessed API Explorer this week I found this notice:
"This site is deprecated for Endpoints APIs. For exploring and testing Endpoints APIs, try the Cloud Endpoints Portal."
I can't find any other information such as when this service will be terminated. Anybody have a link or other information?
The APIs Explorer not going away so much as moving to Cloud Endpoints Portals. You still get an APIs Explorer there with all the same features, and more. It's just a newer format more specific to your API, with more detail and better navigation.
As mentioned on that page, you can try out the demo, including trying out your own API spec using the "Try your own API!" button.

we are trying to enable the One Tap sign-up from Google. It seems there was some security concern (reading online not officially by google) and the official document has been taken out by Google.
Is that API still working, can we integrate it or should we wait for it?
You can find related functionality in Smart Lock for Passwords section here
Looks like original SDK was removed in favor of more common browser Credentials Management API (draft of w3c) in Сhrome 51 and then reworked in Chrome 60.
Also, they have a codelabs tutorial to learn it step by step.
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 have a Google Chrome Extension that listens for GCM messages in a background script via chrome.gcm.onMessage.addListener. Our provider is planning to upgrade their infrastructure to use the latest Firebase Cloud Messaging which is no longer compatible with GCM. We've confirmed the gcm addListener API no longer receives messages after upgrading to FCM in the dev environment.
I've found migration guides for Android, iOS, and progressive web apps but none specifically for background scripts in Chrome extensions.
Some resources I've found:
Official Chrome Extension example but is specifically for authentication
Documentation for JavaScript, specifically PWAs
Upgrade notification from the Google Developers Blog
The extension that I mentioned in my question three years ago still exists today and continues to rely on the chrome.gcm extension API.
Recently we noticed the gcm.notification.badge value is no longer being passed along with the data object, instead we're seeing a gcm.notification.e property that I believe contains the badge value. I was unable to find any documentation on why that property changed but I did find an answer to my original question:
We are deprecating the chrome.gcm API and encourage you to move to Web
Push Notifications using VAPID authentication. This works on the Web,
in Chrome Extensions and in Chrome Apps. You can find more information
here:
https://developers.google.com/web/fundamentals/push-notifications/
Web Push Notifications offer a slightly different set of features from
the chrome.gcm API. Please file an issue or contact us directly if you
believe that it cannot satisfy your requirements.

I want to write a google cloud function that will respond to POST requests. I want to write it in Javascript.
I've found Google's tutorial on how to do it, but at the beginning of the tutorial it says that this is a deprecated thing, and I have to do it using Cloud Endpoints Frameworks for App Engine. However, the link they provide doesn't help.
Any ideas on how to write a javascript google cloud function?
Link to the tutorial that I've found:
https://cloud.google.com/endpoints/docs/frameworks/legacy/v1/python/getstarted/clients/js/add_javascript
The warning that's displayed at the beginning of the tutorial:
Cloud Endpoints Frameworks v1 has been deprecated and will be shut
down on August 2, 2018. We recommend that you use the latest version
of this feature, which is renamed to Cloud Endpoints Frameworks for
App Engine. This new version supports App Engine standard environment,
provides lower latency, and has better integration with App Engine.
For more details, see Migrating to 2.0.
The migration link points to https://cloud.google.com/endpoints/docs/frameworks/legacy/v1/python/migrating
There are two completely different things you're talking about here.
Google Cloud Functions is a serverless way to write functions in Javascript which respond to HTTP requests.
Google Cloud Endpoints Frameworks for App Engine is a way to write App Engine applications in Python or Java which respond to HTTP requests.
The first link you provide is about writing browser-side JavaScript code which calls an Endpoints service. The corresponding link for the Endpoints 2.0 product is here.
Depending on what you actually want to do, you should consult one or more of these links.
I have to implement application that can post to the selected network I can select from the application drop down.
There are Objective-C frameworks for Facebook (Three20) and Twitter (Twitter-OAuth-Library & MGTwitterEngine).
A quick trip to Google find facebook-android-sdk for connecting to Facebook on Android.
As far as Twitter goes, you can find a whole list of APIs for various languages/platforms on Twitter's developer website.
EDIT
A second trip to Google finds this on developer.myspace.com for adding MySpace to an iOS app. Also, see this page and this page on LinkedIn's Developer Network.
Basically, LinkedIn is just using a JSON encoded API with OAuth. You should be able to handle that with any OAuth library.
EDIT2:
It seems that I've found another great library. Check out ShareKit, which helps with alot of what you're trying to do.
#appaspect and #moshe, this is an old thread so the question my no longer be relevant, but here's a new open-source SDK and social api service: Socialize http://www.GetSocialize.com . Full feature set at http://go.GetSocialize.com/features
