I was pondering the idea of a script/program that will auto upload to Youtube from cloud storage. I'm sure this has already been done and would appreciate it if someone could put me on the right path.
Thanks
Your are not giving a lot of detail informations e.g. what cloud you use? Maybe i'm keeping it way too simple though:
I guess this problem can be splited in to two parts:
Download to video to your local system. There are a lot of articles/documentation for all kind of cloud storage provider e.g. google cloud
Use the provided YouTube API documentation to upload your video you just fetched to your local system.
You may want to delete the video on your local file system.

I'd like to use the Dropbox API (with access only to my own account) to generate a link to SomeFile.xlsx that I can put in an email to multiple Dropbox account holders, all of whom are presumed to have access to the file. I'd like for the same link, when clicked on, to talk to Dropbox to figure out where SomeFile.xlsx is on their local filesystem and open that up directly.
In other words, I do NOT want to link to the cloud copy of the file. I want to link to the clicker's locally-synced version of the file.
Does Dropbox have that service and does the API let me consume it? I haven't been able to discover the answer from the documentation yet.
No, Dropbox doesn't have an API like this.
Is it possible to access say a text file that I've placed in these storage accounts and use them as regular files?. I've tried with mechanize and urllib, but I'm not able to succeed. I'm not interested in using the API's because of the limitations that it may impose. Could someone suggest a way for this, or atleast a way to access the account via ftp or other methods. Thanks in advance.
For google Drive there is a very good API-Documentation:
Google Drive: https://developers.google.com/drive/web/quickstart/quickstart-python
Dropbox API: https://www.dropbox.com/developers/core/start/python
I've tested the GDrive API by myselfe, and it works like a charm, i can' say anything about Dropbox API, but shouldn't be much different.
If you mean with Limitations access Limitations google Drives Limitations are
10.000.000 Requests/Day
10 Request/Second/User
I'm working on an app which wraps Google Docs (using GAE/Python), and I want to keep track of who is viewing these docs in real-time. I can't find any APIs for this in the Google Drive SDK.
What's a good way to do this? Naively, I might imagine repeatedly polling each document individually and parsing the returned HTML. I expect there to be ~150 docs total in the system; would this be too inefficient?
Realtime api is not for using with gdocs, only for your own custom formats. Instead see the changes api in drive but you wont be able to detect viewers only modifications https://developers.google.com/drive/manage-changes
I am not sure if this meets your requirement but there is a Realtime API available in the Drive SDK.
The catch is that it is JavaScript only. It does have Events that your web client can be notified off like CollaboratorJoinedEvent and CollaboratorLeftEvent.
I am using Google App Engine to host a website where I want users to be able to upload any video and then I want to use flowplayer to display it, which requires MP4 and webm formats to support all browsers. I have it working correctly where a user uploads a video and then I can serve it but I need to convert it into those two formats so that I everyone can view the video.
Is there any Python project I can import to do the conversion on App Engine or any resources showing how I can do it with something like Google Compute Engine? I need it to be done automatically on the server and most projects that look stable for this in python are written to by done by command line on a personal computer.
I'm not sure about Google App Engine, but you may want to look into using FFMPEG. I am currently hosting a site on heroku and have been able to use it spawning a task that will automatically grab an image from the uploaded video for display and convert the uploaded file to mp4. In order for conversion to mp4, you will need a compilation using libx264. I am no expert on this, but it may be something you want to look into if you haven't already. In my app on heroku, I am able to convert uploads to mp4, but it has definitely taken some time to figure out the right configuration and it still takes longer than I would like. However, I am also a fairly new developer and this is my first app ever created, so it might be easier for you to get working the way you want it.
I want to save the first three images of a Google Images Search to my local drive.
For that, I need an API. Google has the Google Image Search API, but it seems that it's deprecated now.
Is there an alternative for it?
If not, is it against Google's TOS to parse the webpage itself?
Thanks.
You can use the Custom Search API now instead. And here's a starting point.
Hope that helps.
