Direction routing in transit mode using Windows Phone 8.1 maps API - dictionary

Is there a way to return routing in transit mode (eg. using public transport) using WP 8.1 native maps service API?
Some side questions:
WP 8.1 native maps API is using Bing Maps API or HERE maps API now?
Are HERE apps such as HERE maps, drive+, and transit stop support on Windows platform now? As they are not available anymore in the app store.
Appreciate any reply, thanks.

In reference to your transit question, you can use the Bing REST api to query routes specific for Transit.
An example can be found here: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/gg636958.aspx
In short you do your requests through a specific URL : http://dev.virtualearth.net/REST/V1/Routes/Transit?...
In regards to the HERE apps, well currently not sure what is going to happen with them. But the Maps app from Microsoft is slowly getting most of the features that where in those HERE apps, so I guess they are migrating stuff.

Microsoft Outlook API Costing model

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.

Google API Explorer deprecated for Endpoints APIs?

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.

OpenLayers + Google maps in Flex, is it possible?

Recently i really was amazed by openstreet maps, and it's very possibilities to manipulate data, aswell the free of charge about many prescious things - like geocoding and the maps itself.
But i wish to still having a backup behind with google maps.
Is it possible to having both of them in Flex, and how ?
( or at least where i can look for similar project of "unification" )
It appears that OpenStreet Maps has a REST API. You can access that API in a Flex application using the HTTPService; assuming a proper crossdomain.xml file is in place.
If not; you'll have to use a proxy between your Flex app and the REST API.
MapQuest has an Open Flash API that uses OpenStreetMap data. They also offer an Open Flash Mobile API that can be used with Flash Builder to build apps for the iPhone, Android, and BlackBerry tablet with the new tools in Flex 4.5+.
Feel free to check out the documentation on the MapQuest Developer Network!

Social networking on smart phones?

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

Possible to use Google Maps API v3 without API Key?

I've got a Flex application that uses the Google Maps component. Is it possible to configure the component to use Google Maps API v3 without API Key? If not, is there a workaround to use the JavaScript API? Or a timeline for providing swc using Google Maps API v3?
I currently perform client-side geocoding using the Google Maps API v3 webservice, but I need to also display maps and allow user to interact with them.
Firstly, realize that the Javascript API and the Flash API are different API's.
I imagine that they will porting the no API key feature to the Flash API soon.
However, I have no used the Flash API in a while and Google may be moving away from maintaining it. It doubt that they will though. They have a lot invested in the Flash API.
