I need the get the list of participants in a currently running zoom meeting. Should be pretty easy with the Zoom API, right? Well ...
I'm not the host/cohost.
I have a basic zoom membership.
I need this for my school. A group of 3 students (we call them captains) have to report to the Head Teacher about the attendance status of our class. As a programmer, I'm thinking of ways to automate the process (maybe using python or something similar?)
I'm not sure if this is illegal to do, if so please let me know and I'll ditch the idea. Otherwise some ideas to implement this would be really helpful. Thanks!

Ok, so I'm a total noob with aspirations of learning to code. I've read about a guy who, for example, wrote a script which, if he was at work past a certain time, would automatically send a text to his wife stating he would be late. I want to do something sorta similar.
What I want in essence is a script that will log in to a website at a certain time of day, check if a box/text is green/yes or red/no, and send a text or notification to my phone informing me of the result each day.
The progress I've made so far is installing Python, installing PyCharm and done some research about tools I could use toward achieving my goal. Selenium seems like it would be capable of logging into the website, but I've no idea how to go about setting up a conditional statement to check the result, nor how I could set it up to send a text/notification to my phone. Also, if there is a more appropriate tool I should look into rather than Selenium and Python, I'm not attached to the idea of using these specific tools.
Finally, I realize that this may end up being too complicated for a first project, so I'd be up for hiring a freelancer to set this up. Equally, if this is something that could feasibly be written by someone with very little knowledge of coding such as myself, I'd really appreciate some direction from an expert!
Thanks for any input!
You are on the right track with selenium for web form automation. Sending notification however would require something else as was pointed out, and if you're on windows you can use windows task scheduler to automate, to performed only on certain time of day etc.
To make things more simplified, you can also look up general purpose automation programs that might support all these features together. For example, JRVSInputs uses selenium for web auto-fills https://jrvs.in/forums/viewtopic.php?t=182 and have features to send email or windows notifications. It can convert all its scripts into a neat batch file, you can then automate this batch file in the task scheduler.
I want to create a fitness program using python.
When the user creates a account in my program he/she needs to have the option to select the location of their gym or the place where they workout. So in other words, a map opens up and the user has to find the place where they workout and mark it.
Then, I want to use the GPS of their phones in order to look if they were at least 30 minutes inside a 30 meter radius from the mark (their gym, or other place where they workout) in 24 hours.
If they were, I want to count that day.
My questions are:
Is this thing even possible?
Is python the best programing language for this or should I use something else?
Is there any library for Python that can help me?
Thank you in advance!
Are you planning on making a phone app for iOS/Android?
Since you said you maps on their phone, I am assuming you mean a phone app.
I would suggest learning Objective-C, if you are trying to make apps for iOS specifically, and the preferred language of implementation for Android would be Java.
With that said, you absolutely can use python to develop an Android or iOS app with something like BeeWare! Which is a nice suite of python tools so you can build your program from the ground up with pure python.
So there are many options with advantages/disadvantages; everyone will give their two sense on which is the best way to approach, but I would suggest researching the many ways phone apps are developed to get your feet wet and get familiar with the process before going head first at those additional questions!
It is a bit different than writing a python program on your computer, running it on command prompt/terminal and being good to go!
I am a music teacher and trying to teach my students with some hand-made program.
I had learned programming language in a elementary level, such as Python, Java, Pro-log etc.
I have a Open Lecture with parents of my students upcoming 12/12, so I want to make a simple lecture program.
Two Image Below is the U.I. which I want to realize.

First, I want to make an apple droppable to match the gray-colored field. I want (half-sized apple should be matched to half-sized grayfield, and same for the full-sized color.)
Second, I want to make notes are droppable so that they could be aligned on the bar. In this case, it the summation is not 4/4beat, I want to show Error.
In which way, I could make this program fast?
I think I can encode the elementary level of programing such as checking out whether the summation is 4/4beat or not, however, I don't know how to connect programmed codes being linked with those images and User interfaces yet.
For an application like that, I would suggest using PyGame. I've seen beginning students with no programming skill at all make impressive games in only a few weeks with it.
Unfortunately, I'm not a game builder so I can't answer technical questions about PyGame. But I do know it has the sound and graphics libraries you need for your demonstration.
I'm working on making a "bot" for a game I play on my computer (windows8.1) just to see if I can. One of the tasks I need to automate is to find something on the screen. I can't get the sprites for the game though. I tried taking a screenshot and searching the screen for that image but it fails because the exact image is not on the screen. I imagine I would need to check pixels (if that's possible)
I'm not looking for actual code as an answer. I just need somewhere I can learn how to do what I want to do. Any help is appreciated!
When making "bots" like you do, your approach of searching for pixels is usually a bad practice. It's really error-prone and needs a ton of computing power.
Other popular tools (for example the hearthstone deck tracker) are checking the ram for the current state of the game. This is the safest and best approach.
Python is probably not capable doing that.
Java, C++ or C# are the language you want to write a bot in. I'd highly recommend you switch to one of these.
The Hearthstone Deck Tracker is an open source project on github. Check the code if you want to learn something about bots / tools https://github.com/Epix37/Hearthstone-Deck-Tracker.
So, I am completely new to programming. I've been learning basic Python over the last couple weeks. I've always wanted to learn a programming language but right now my primary reason for delving into it is to Create an AI program for my man cave. Here are my Ideas which I am sure have been thought of many times before. They are just my goals:
I would like to take a pre-established open source chat bot and tie it to a Natural Language process to give it the ability to convert my speech to a text command that it can execute and at the same time take its text output and filter it through an audible speech sample (very much like SIRI). This way when I have the function of Natural Language response on, I can have basic conversations with it. I can also turn the conversational aspect off via a voice command so that the only thing it responds to is direct commands (e.g. "Gerard, please open an email, execute. Recipient, logan.wolf.ypher#gmail.com, Subject, Hello World, Body, insert text i speak.)
I would also like to have it recognize that I am there when my phone attempts to connect to the wifi.
I know that this may be a bit complicated for me at the moment but I hear the best way to learn a language is to jump on into a project you enjoy.
Does anyone have any pointers on where to start looking for a base AI or just any tips in general that you wish to give me? I'd appreciate the info very much. Thank you.

Considering that So, I am completely new to programming, I would recommend you take a smaller part of this project and successfully implement it. For example, an email account which is checked every 1 minute and you can send textual commands to it. From there, start upgrading it to use chat, cell phone, speech-to-text, and lastly, AI. I only say this because I know the diffulculty of starting a too-ambitious project when I am new at an area (electronics, engineering, programming, language, etc...) and fail. Success, even in small steps, is better!
