I would like to be able to query an API to get IRS mileage rates rather than rely upon manually entering data into a database table each year. Is there a public API available? I browsed the IRS site but didn't really find anything specific to retrieving mileage rates.
Any assistance is greatly appreciated.

Since this morning the Places API has returned NOT_FOUND results for every single place ID we've tried searching for.
We regularly query the API to check details & it has been running fine for over a year but today it's fell over and only returns NOT_FOUND, for over 300 different place ids.
Is there a current issue with the API?
I contacted Google Cloud support today about this because it still hasn't changed.
Yes they no longer support Service area businesses in the Places API. Here is their response:
Thank you for contacting Maps Platform Technical Support. My name is Ana and I'm here to assist you.
Places API mission is to enable developers to help users find relevant places to visit. Since Service Area Businesses are not places users can visit, they do not belong in the Places API. That is the reason why you cannot search it in Places API and it is an intended behavior.
Business owners can fix this via MyBusiness IF they have a brick-and-mortar shop
(a shop someone can visit on the streets).
I find this shocking that developers are unable to pull out information about any ACTIVE business on Google. I have responded with my own views but as expected Google will not change their stance.
Well that is very confusing to customers. You (rightly so) allow local listings to be setup as service area businesses. Why should only brick and mortar shops be allowed to utilise the Place API? That’s separating the market for businesses to advertise properly and surely is not legal.
Regardless of if you agree about service area businesses not being allowed to be shown on Maps – there is no reason that an ACTIVE business should not return details through a Development API which has no public facing impact. It is stifling the support agencies and businesses can provide to its customers.
We're denied access to the Google My Business API and then resort to pulling out data via the Places API and now we can no longer do that.
You should at the very least provide some kind of development data for ANY business that is available on Google, whether that be via the Places API or not – business owners should have a right to pull out data about their own business at any time.
Please forward this to the GMB team.
I am writing a generic integration that needs to use the database in Dynamics 365 for Customer Engagement as the system of record. I will be polling it from time to time to keep data up to date in other ancillary systems. I can know, of course, when records have changed by inspecting the "modifiedon" attribute. I can build a query saying "give me all the records that have changed since the last time I asked". It would, however, also be optimal to be able to know what records have been DELETED since the last time I asked. I have a similar integration with Salesforce, and that is trivial to do with the SalesForce API, but I can't see how to do it with the Dynamics 365 API.
It appears that the only option to me might be to keep a list of all the record primary keys in my integration, and download on each poll ALL records existing in CRM and then figure out the deleted ones on my own by their absence. That is pretty ugly and inefficient though.
Any ideas or advice?
MS introduced change tracking for this purpose.
The change tracking feature in Dynamics 365 for Customer Engagement Customer Engagement provides a way to keep the data synchronized in a performant way by detecting what data has changed since the data was initially extracted or last synchronized.
The sample web api request below:
GET [Organization URI]/org1/api/data/v9.0/accounts?$select=name,accountnumber,telephone1,fax HTTP/1.1
Prefer: odata.track-changes
Response will have delta link with a delta token:
"#odata.deltaLink": "[Organization URI]/api/data/v9.0/accounts?$select=name,accountnumber,telephone1,fax&$deltatoken=919042%2108%2f22%2f2017%2008%3a10%3a44"
When you use the above URI, you can get the changes including deleted entries.
{
"#odata.context":"[Organization URI]/data/v9.0/$metadata#accounts(name,telephone1,fax)/$delta",
"#odata.deltaLink":"[Organization URI]/api/data/v9.0/accounts?$select=name,telephone1,fax&$deltatoken=919058%2108%2f22%2f2017%2008%3a21%3a20",
"value":
[
{
"#odata.etag":"W/\"915244\"",
"name":"Monte Orton",
"telephone1":"555000",
"fax":"10101",
"accountid":"60c4e274-0d87-e711-80e5-00155db19e6d"
},
{
"#odata.context":"[Organization URI]/api/data/v9.0/$metadata#accounts/$deletedEntity",
"id":"2e451703-c686-e711-80e5-00155db19e6d",
"reason":"deleted"
}
]
}
Sample: Synchronize data with external systems using change tracking
I would like to contribute to this question which gave me excellent advice for the direction to take.
Although poorly documented on the official Dynamics doc and not mentioned where Change Tracking is explained, this powerful feature is also available in the Soap API:

I hope this helps someone.
since trustpilot do not allow us to query just the reviews published after a specific date I will need to make loads of requests to get the products reviews.
Do you have any limit on the number of requests we can make in a minute?
Thanks #neisantos for your question.
Unfortunately our product reviews API doesn't support a query based on published datetime.
Fortunately for you, you don't need to worry about query limitations on the endpoint. However, we can see which apiKey is accessing our endpoints, and if necessary we can throttle or revoke the access.
BTW. Fetching all product reviews via the API will probably not affect our API that much :)
I'm trying to use FHIR to pull all patients, encounters and appointments into an intermediate database for further analysis. Most of the FHIR API's appear to be designed to handle one patient ID at a time, or one encounter at a time, etc. What is the most efficient way to pull the full set of encounters and then keep it current, as well as appointments, etc.?
Please take a look at the FHIR specification website, specifically the page about the RESTFul API and look at search. The APIs have methods to support the interactions described on the website.
I have a ecommerce app in laravel from where i want to add/edit/update/delete product in http://auctions.yahoo.com. I have searched their api http://developer.yahoo.co.jp/webapi/auctions/ but no luck. So my question is anybody has idea of product synchronization in yahoo auction if yes then please help me answering your experience. Thankyou.
There are some APIs not listed there(e.g. add item). Those API requires individual contract with YahooJapan, and those contracts are open only to the corporate at this moment. Once you made the contract with them, they will disclose all the necessary documents for you.
