I was wondering how IM+/IMO --multiprotocol web messengers would be able to support skype instant messaging without SC(Skype Client),even pidgin does support skype but SC has to be installed in case of pidgin.I am very curious about the imo web messenger.Do they establish connection using skype API(i dont know) or some other way... Any one who have idea/clue about how it can be done please let me know.
Any help is appreciated!!
Well, skype uses propriatery protocols, and there are some efforts of reversing them:

Update
It is now possible to connect through “Skype for Web”, allowing you to just use your browser to connect to the (clunky) web client.
Way better: a recent plugin for Pidgin lets you use it directly through Pidgin, effectively adding true support for Skype in Pidgin.

We're implementing a slackbot internally in our company.
Because we cannot open a local server on internet, we want to bypass interactive message system.
Is there any way to do so ? A custom event for example ?
Thanks,
Yohann.
No, that is not possible.
And frankly, you can not use much of Slack's functionality without exposing your app to the Internet, so that Slack can interact with it.
But there are ways to expose your app to the Internet, without compromising the security of your company network. One way is to use a secure tunnel to your "localhost". A service provided by companies like ngrok.

I'm working with Microsoft's Bot Development Framework. They've released a calling API to handle taking calls, but what I'd really like to do is call a user on Skype (i.e. initiate the call). I don't believe they can do this currently, so if not are there plans to add this?
Skype doesn't offer this functionality at this time. I don't have any information about plans to implement bot calling the user with voice, but I will pass on the request to the Skype bot team.
I've seen examples of bot programming that work with "Skype". Is it possible to develop enterprise bots that run on "Skype for Business" using Microsoft's Bot/Cognitive service tools/framework?
Skype for Business is not yet supported by Bot Framework. To find all the messaging channels that are supported visit the Bot Framework's documentation site.
The Microsoft Bot Framework now officially supports Skype for Business as a channel:
Skype for Business Bot Framework (Preview)
(As of writing this its in Preview mode, so things may change in the future. But at least its there.)
Skype for Business does use UCWA (Unified Communications Web API), though the documentation is pretty dated it is possible to have a user account for the bot and use the API calls for direct messaging.
This also requires some knowledge of the server that your Skype for Business is running through.
Further going thru the Build 2016 videos and Microsoft support site reveals Skype bot programming is limited to consumer skype and not for "Skype for Business". It seems microsoft has future plans to bring this to "Skype for Business"
Yes, bots can be built for skype for business, please have a look at the following link.

I want to implement a push notification server which should send push notifications via apn (apple), gcm (Google) and wns (windows). I already checked push platforms like the one from Amazon, but none of these do met the requirement that I maybe later want to implement an additional service provider (e.g. for location based push). In addition two that nearly no provider offers an api so that various systems can connect to it.
Want kind of libraries or frameworks do you know to send push notifications in an easy way?
I have already seen https://github.com/rs/pushd but I am searching for an java / Javascript based solution. Some others doesn't provide solutions for Windows.
Does anybody has any tips?
Thanks,
Fahim
Those are working well for me.

I want to develop a web application that will have textbox and button. When the user enters a number and clicks on the submit button, I want to make a Skype call from the host. How can I do this?
Er... you're in for a world of pain. First, sure, your server could possibly make a skype call, but how would you handle the back-and-forth to your user's browser? Tons of custom programming with a rich client framework, that's how.
Better to let the user just use skype themselves. Look into the callto:// URI header for details.
Can't you setup your links with callto:// prefixes? If the user has the option enabled in Skype then the application will be associated with those links.
How to Use the Skype Callto:// Links
Perhaps you could build a link on the fly and initiate a call this way?
You can generate a link with HTML with a callto: address to launch the Skype client and make the call (if the client software is configured to do so), which is hopefully what you're looking for. See: http://chrisabraham.com/2005/05/05/how-to-hyperlink-to-a-skype-call-with-your-skype-contact-id-or-telephone-number/
If you want to actually get into the API, you'll need some kind of desktop C# application and interface with the Skype API, see following for details:
http://share.skype.com/sites/devzone/2006/12/c_example_project_for_skype4co.html
http://www.codeproject.com/KB/cs/skypecontrolapicsharp.aspx
So lets say you did launch a process on the server and automate the skype client on the web server. It then dials your customer via a phone located in the data center and the customer hears .... what? IIS isn't very talkative.
I know this is an old thread but we are getting a few visitors to our site from it. If you want to embed clickable links into your website that work with Skype please use the Skype URIs, see: https://dev.skype.com/skype-uri.
