Was wondering if anyone knew of an existing solution for browsing the Face API data I set listing and viewing the person-group hierarchy, persisted faces and person-faces, etc. Of course my own app persists the data that has been sent/received to the API but I'm looking to browse the server side.
Thanks
So got an official answer from MSFT Cognitive Services support (real quick turnaround!):
"We currently do not have a console app that provides the capabilities that you are seeking. The current avaialble method to retrieve this lit is done through Person Group - List Person Groups and Person - List Persons in a Person Group."
Guess its code then.

Pls let us know if I am missing anything?
Thanks
Access to the PNR (Passenger Name Records) requires a contract with Sabre. They only give this access to travel agents or companies writing services for travel. There is also associated fees. Also you need to be aware there are costs for every PNR you create. So its not as easy as just getting access to the PNR.
I know this is not the answer you want but its how it works.
If your just trying to build out a small booking engine I would suggest getting into Expedia's API toolkit. Much easier and allot less expensive to get into.
After some time being working with Restful APIs I would like to know a bit more about their internal functionality.
I would like a simple explanation about how the API`s get access to the data that they provide as responses to our requests.
There are APIs, for example weather API`s or sports APIs that are capable to provide responses with very recent data (such as sports results), I am wondering where or how they get that updated info almost as soon as it is available.
I have seen here on SO questions with answers pointing to API design tutorials, but not to this particular topic.
An API is usually simply a facade (or an interface if you prefer) to some information resource. The idea behind it is to "hide" any complexity from the user, to unify several services to a single access point or even to keep the details about the implementation of the actual service a secret.
This being said you probably understand now that there can't be one definitive answer to the question "where do APIs get their info from?". But some common answers are:
other APIs
some proprietary/in-house developed service/database
etc.
For sports APIs - probably they are being provided by some sports media, which has the results as soon as they get out, so they just enter them in their DB and immediately they become available through their API.
For weather forecasts - again as with the sports API they are probably provided by a company dealing with weather forecasts.
If it's easier for you you can think of the "read-only" APIs as rss feeds in a way.
I hope this clears the things a bit for you.
You could have a look at Stack Share to see what companies use for databases and whatnot. But there isn't a universal answer, every company uses whatever works for them.
This usually means that te company has its own database in which the data is stored. But they might also get their data from another company.
But a 'database' is not just SQL, maybe they use unstructured data or any of the other options to store data.
That's where the "whatever works" comes from. The company chooses a solution they go with which best fits their needs.
We are planning to develop a web based application for one of the Research Institute.
Overview of the application:
It is survey application
It requires login credentials for data-entry operator to open web-app for collecting participant’s information
It has fixed number of login credentials for data-entry operators (No user registration)
Google Maps APIs will be used in this application for locating and collecting participant’s address details (Places Search APIs and
Reverse Geo coding)
We have gone through the following links
https://developers.google.com/maps/pricing-and-plans/
https://developers.google.com/maps/terms
As this application will be used by Research Institute, We are not sure which plan (Standard/Premium) can be used for such type of application.
Also we are not able to connect with Sales team where we can evaluate the application for correct billing plan.
We need help on following items
Identifying correct plan/package for pricing and legal terms as the customer is a research institute
How can we connect to direct Googles' sales team for clarifying or identifying correct plan as there is no direct support available except for Premium plan?
After different searches (googling) and connects found below URL to connect with Google Support team for Map API queries
https://enterprise.google.com/intl/en_in/maps/contact-form/
Note: We got response from google support team after aprox. 7 days. So expect minimum 7 days for response.
Hope this would help to someone having similar query.
Thanks!
I'm looking for a Voice Authentication API, and I find Microsoft's one.
When looking at prices, it asks you for a region. The problem is that
it only shows a region
I've been reading about Azure's regions, and it say that is where data is stored, so my question is if it would be possible to use it in a different region than allowed.
Thanks (and sorry for my spelling mistakes).
Quick Answer:
Normally yes, but currently the Speaker Recognition API is only offered out of the WestUS datacenter.
If it's mandatory that you have low-latency when using the service, I suggest you look into setting up and/or temporarily subscribing to a CDN service. Or, if you have a lot of time on your hands, and know waaaaay more than I do about this subject, you may be able to design a local cache to mitigate latency if you're distant from WestUS.
Less-Quick Answer:
First off, you should use the dashboard interface at https://portal.azure.com to sign up. You will first need to create a Pay-As-You-Go subscription as your payment-medium, but it will give you much more control over & visibility into your service.
Here's what the signup pane looks like inside of https://portal.azure.com:
It appears that, in it's current "PREVIEW" deployment, you are right the services is only offered from the the WestUS data center. Normally you will have the option to one of ten's of global datacenters, but it is common that PREVIEW services aren't deployed globally until they're out of PREVIEW status.
If the problem you are looking to remediate is latency-based, look into the CDN suggestion in my "Quick Answer."
If your issue is about getting different pricing based on your location, the location of the datacenter you choose will not affect this. If geographic-discounting applies to you, it is based on the country that is assigned to your Microsoft Username/Password combination at the time it was created. This value cannot be changed once a username/password combo has been created, and consequently, any payment info used along with this uname/pass will need to have a billing address in the same country.
I have an existing asp.net application that is currently in production for more than 3 years now. That application was developped based on internal and user requirements. That application is also using Google Analytics to detect different usage metrics to understand more what users are doing and which part of the system is most requested. But... we understand now that we are not so well connected to client's need's and more importantly, we don't receive a lot of feedback from them and when we receive feedback, that feedback is sent to many different people so most of the time they are lost or missing some valuable informations. Here is my question: is there some free (or paid) products that can be incorporated into an existing asp.net application that can provide the following functionnalities:
For my users:
Send feedbacks
Log bugs
Submit feature request
Ask questions
Be able to follow an issue, bug or feature and subscribe to it
Be able to rate answers
Be able to include attachments
Be able to vote for issues to prioritize them
Etc.
For me:
Respond to all of these issues and be able, in some way, to see and analyze all of this data to properly populate our product backlog with what user needs
My real need will be to have something like Telerik has implemented. Is there something that can be incorporated into an existing application?
Thanks in advance
What about User Voice? It's a great system to collect user feedback. Not sure if you'd get the integration you're looking for. For the rest of your requirements it seems it would work really well.
