I need to figure out what are the services Google API is providing. Meanwhile, I came to know about Traffic API. Can anyone tell me how frequently it updates the data ??
I am not sure whether it responds real time traffic data..I looked into Google Maps JavaScript API and also looking for Google's service which can provide me these details i.e. Current Traffic moving speed, Traffic Jam details, etc..
I dug around a bit for an answer on this, and the best I can find is that it is indeed nearly 'real-time' or 'continuously'. They appear to aggregate it from a number of sources, including iPhone users (https://googleblog.blogspot.ca/2009/08/bright-side-of-sitting-in-traffic.html, https://www.quora.com/How-does-Google-Maps-collect-real-time-traffic-data, http://shreerangpatwardhan.blogspot.ca/2011/06/where-does-google-get-its-live-traffic.html).
Seems to be a fluid thing that is probably updating nearly every second (or less).
When you do the initial layer request, it says it gets that layer "for the time the request is made". Just FYI for if you need things to stay updated.

I'm trying to create a very simple game on a website (HTML or Java whatever is easiest)
The game needs to have a moving square and the player needs to keep his cursor in the box
it will count time in the box (total and consecutive) and how many times you got out of the box
In the back end i need to be able to add latency from user action until the mouse cursor actually moves to show the impact of latency on the performance.
I also need to be able to collect and save this data with relation to the user entered info (can even be just an ID that he will type into a google form)
is there any existing code that i can use to create this?
I'm only interested in the data collection aspect not in the coding itself :)
any help would be greatly appreciated!
[Cannot comment jet so as an answer]
You could use Unity for the game programming. As far as i know it has a webbuilder. You will find a bunch of tutorials for this engine everywhere. Although nobody will build a game for you on this website ... -> Your question shouldn't be this vague but a concrete programming problem

I want to screen record my users usage that will be embeded in my react code, this is private company website.
MediaStream Recording of mozila is "asking" for premission to get record.
there is any solution for that?
Edit:
I want it to be "behind the scenes", I dont want to bother the agents with not relevant clicks on their system
I'm using it for catching bugs for developing purposes. they say "X doent work for me" I want to visit their flow to improve the development.
Yes, it's certainly possible.
eg. https://www.inspectlet.com/ does this, and doesn't require special permissions.
They basically work by capturing DOM mutations.
There are Open Source alternatives too. eg. https://github.com/Pernosco/DOMRec
They might be legal issues to consider, but in theory capturing the DOM mutations of your own website I wouldn't expect would cause many issues, especially if this is for Debugging or Internal reasons.
Capturing more than your own website, would of course require special permissions, like MediaStream Recording can do as this could capture more than your own website.

For an app I'm building, I need real-time navigation. I've chosen Google maps, but I'm noticing there's nothing on real-time navigation for websites.
What are my options? Am I better off going with another provider, like Bing or Mapquest?
of course there is.
the real-time navigation is nothing more but capturing the current position of the user and displaying it or laying on top of the Google Map or other map.
you have to choose the technology on the server or back-end service to handle the capturing / storing positions in the database. I'm sure the server language or stack that you are using (node, php, asp..etc) has some libs for that already..
this is the Google page that uses cloud DB solution and native browser caps for capturing your position.. and this is the jsfiddle with example how to capture your current position... simple oneliner right :)
https://jsfiddle.net/api/post/library/pure/
navigator.geolocation.getCurrentPosition(function(position)
start from that and build it up gradually, good luck!

anyone know of a solution? i have found online a select menu for countries, but i need either an API or a database with every state/province and major city in each country.
Take a look at GeoNames. You can download (just about) everything they have and create your own local databases, or you can use their REST Webservice API. As an added bonus, they even have already made client libraries.
If you just want users to be able to select a location, you could use a search-based interface such as OSM Nominatim. You can download the data and install it yourself, or just use their web services (subject to usage limits). Indeed, you might be able to download the Nominatim database and write a different API to use menus to drill down.

Is there away to display just the Yahoo weather icon above on a webpage? I'm using geektool on my Mac and it can be displayed on my desktop but I'm wondering if it is possible to just have that icon in a webapge??? ANy ideas :)
Have you tried http://l.yimg.com/a/i/us/we/52/XX.gif
where XX is your status code returned from the API?
Example: http://l.yimg.com/a/i/us/we/52/24.gif
Yes. The response of Yahoo Weather API contains an image that denotes the weather.
The path to the current weather image is channel > item > description > img (inside CDATA)
View the below responses in Firefox and then you can see those icons for yourself.
New York City - http://weather.yahooapis.com/forecastrss?w=2459115
Paris, France - http://weather.yahooapis.com/forecastrss?w=615702
