with all that covid-19 thing I want to make something that tracks classroom courses that i am subscribed to and take some information like this:
Example:
¡Hey you have a new assignment from {teacher name}.
Title: {HOMEWORK TITLE}
Expire date: {DATE WHEN THE ASSIGNMENT EXPIRES}
Is it possible to get that information from the Google Classroom API or should I change the way I take the information?

Google forces us to migrate from the deprecated Contacts API over new People API.
They even implemented "Other Contacts" feature in the People API which was so demanded.
But now I'm facing another problem - there is no way to get photos of Other Contacts in the People API.
I was digging into this problem and figured out that it's possible to add photos into the readMask (even though it's not documented):
https://people.googleapis.com/v1/otherContacts?access_token=<...>&readMask=emailAddresses,names,photos
...but it doesn't help, because it returns the default picture with the first letter for all contacts, even for contacts who has a real photo. Like this one: https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/cm/ABXenNkcRSTRZU8PEFQfJtaeEBZnxLgN-UO555npUt1idzcMohoSGuJFfKx0JX2AR6Qp=s100
I tried to add coverPhotos into the readMask but it doesn't let it there.
Then I was checking how old Contacts API formats photo urls and figured out the format:
https://www.google.com/m8/feeds/photos/media/<user-email-address>/<contact-id>
But it has 2 disadvantages:
this url has to be requested with access_token
it works only if the contact uploaded a custom photo, otherwise it returns error
So here is my question:
Is there any simpler and cleaner way to get real photos of Other Contacts in People API?
This bug has been solved and now we have a solution!
Updated documentation: https://developers.google.com/people/api/rest/v1/otherContacts/list
There is a new sources[] request parameter. To get the real photos of "other contacts" you need to specify 2 values: READ_SOURCE_TYPE_CONTACT and READ_SOURCE_TYPE_PROFILE.
The request would look like this:
GET https://people.googleapis.com/v1/otherContacts?readMask=photos&key=API_KEY&sources=READ_SOURCE_TYPE_CONTACT&sources=READ_SOURCE_TYPE_PROFILE
Now some contacts will contain 2 entries in the photos array:
photos: [
{
metadata: {
primary: true,
source: {
type: "PROFILE",
id: "11111"
}
},
url: "<THIS IS THE REAL PROFILE PICTURE>"
},
{
metadata: {
source: {
type: "OTHER_CONTACT",
id: "6666666"
}
},
url: "<THIS IS THE DEFAULT PHOTO STUB>",
default: true
}
]
The readMask fields accepted for the otherContacts.list method are the following:
emailAddresses
metadata
names
phoneNumbers
photos
As you can notice, the photos field is an accepted one while making the above request.
However, the returned response should yield a url which redirects you to the user's profile picture. Because of this, I have taken the opportunity to report it on Google's Issue Tracker here. I suggest you star the issue as any updates regarding this will be posted there.

I have started working with the LUIS and bot framework recently, after having some experience also with API AI / Google home development.
In the sample below that, I will use an example (from https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/bot-framework/nodejs/bot-builder-nodejs-dialog-waterfall) is exemplified a step by step interaction with a user. First, it asks for a date, then a number, then a name for the reserve, and so on.
var bot = new builder.UniversalBot(connector, [
function (session) {
session.send("Welcome to the dinner reservation.");
builder.Prompts.time(session, "Please provide a reservation date and time (e.g.: June 6th at 5pm)");
},
function (session, results) {
session.dialogData.reservationDate = builder.EntityRecognizer.resolveTime([results.response]);
builder.Prompts.text(session, "How many people are in your party?");
},
function (session, results) {
session.dialogData.partySize = results.response;
builder.Prompts.text(session, "Who's name will this reservation be under?");
},
function (session, results) {
session.dialogData.reservationName = results.response;
// Process request and display reservation details
session.send("Reservation confirmed. Reservation details: <br/>Date/Time: %s <br/>Party size: %s <br/>Reservation name: %s",
session.dialogData.reservationDate, session.dialogData.partySize, session.dialogData.reservationName);
session.endDialog();
}]);
In my code, I have a similar multi-parameter dialog, but I want to allow the user to answer with multiple information at the same time in any of the responses it have. For example, after providing the reservation date the user can say "a reserve for Robert for 10 people", so both numbers of people and reservation name are giving at the same time.
To identify these text entities I suppose I have to call LUIS and get the entities resolved from the session context. I notice that the bot object has a recognized method that I think can work for that.
My question is how do I organize the structure of the code and the LUIS utterances and entities? Right now I have an intent with some entities and several utterances samples, but if I send this 'partial' user sentence I think it will not be mapped to the same intent and may not identify the entities with a small sentence like that.
How should I handle this? Do I need to provide samples for the intent with these partial sentences, that may contain only some of the entities?
Thanks
Yes, you should provide samples for all those utterances that you want to your intent to recognize. Not a million of samples, but just as few to get everything trained.
Then, the other problem that you might want to solve next, is asking for the information for those entities missing in the utterance. You can do that manually or you could go one step further and explore the LUIS Action Binding library.
I'm trying to create a new charge via the Go API. I have a shipping address and a payment token. But the Go API doesn't seem to support sending the shipping address. The documentation indicates that it should support it but there isn't a direct mapping between the arguments described in the docs and the Go ChargeParams arguments and some are missing.
type ChargeParams struct {
Params
Amount uint64
Currency Currency
Customer, Token string
Desc, Statement, Email string
NoCapture bool
Fee uint64
Fraud FraudReport
Source *SourceParams
}
Is there some other way that I'm supposed to add the address that I'm missing?
I know nothing about Stripe's API but if you follow the fields of the struct, you find Charge ➜ Source ➜ Card ➜ Address1, Address2, City, State, Zip, Country. Is that what you are after?
Answer from Stripe support.
Thanks for writing in about this, I'm happy to help! Unfortunately our
go bindings don't support that parameter at the moment which is why
you couldn't find it in the source. The temporary solution would be to
create the POST request yourself when you need to send the shipping
details along with the charge.
I've forwarded this internally to make sure it gets addressed in the
future but unfortunately I don't have any timeline to share with you
at the moment. We are definitely open to a Pull Request from one of
our users so if that's something you'd feel comfortable building
yourself that would be awesome!
Here's how to use ChargeParams to include shipping infomation https://github.com/stripe/stripe-go/blob/master/charge/client_test.go
charge, err := New(&stripe.ChargeParams{
Amount: stripe.Int64(11700),
Currency: stripe.String(string(stripe.CurrencyUSD)),
Source: &stripe.SourceParams{Token: stripe.String("src_123")},
Shipping: &stripe.ShippingDetailsParams{
Address: &stripe.AddressParams{
Line1: stripe.String("line1"),
City: stripe.String("city"),
},
Carrier: stripe.String("carrier"),
Name: stripe.String("name"),
}
})
Using the League of Legends API, how can I list of all recent games, including ARAM?
This method says it will return match history:
https://developer.riotgames.com/api/methods#!/873/3054
But when I test it with my summoner ID (32984235), I get an empty result since I only play ARAM.
I'm assuming it's possible since LoLKing does it - http://www.lolking.net/summoner/na/32984235#matches
For now, you can fetch your most recent 10 games of any type using the recent game endpoint:
(/api/lol/{region}/v1.3/game/by-summoner/{summonerId}/recent)
However, that endpoint is going to be deprecated at some point in favor of the match history endpoints, which include
/api/lol/{region}/v2.2/matchlist/by-summoner/{summonerId}
and
/api/lol/{region}/v2.2/match/{matchId}
For now, the match endpoints will only return ranked games. Ultimately though we want to add OAuth support to Riot's public APIs. Once we do that, the idea is that you will be able to fetch all game data for the authenticated user and his friends, which is the same behavior as the in-game match history and the match history website (http://matchhistory.na.leagueoflegends.com).
When you search for a restaurant in Google places and go to the business profile (i.e.:
https://plus.google.com/107507038669791289691/about?hl=en) the restaurant has a tag (in this case Mexican Restaurant). But when using the Google places api all I can see is a types list
"types" : [ "restaurant", "food", "establishment" ]
Anyone know if it's possible to get the tag "Mexican Restaurant" somehow?
I know about the supported types (https://developers.google.com/places/documentation/supported_types). It is not super helpful.
I was also working in a project which need to get more details about a place using Google Maps and Google Places APIs, and I really spent many hours trying to find something that can help ( Google Places API, Google Maps API, google+ APIs, ... ) but nothing ... the only things that I found is theses 2 issues ( feature requests ) which I hope that Google will add to their APIs someday :
Issue N° 5260 with 13 stars.
Issue N°7878 with 4 stars.
I hope with this SO question that we get more interested persons to get the feature in a soon future version of Google Map or Google Places APIs.
For the Google Places for Work API, I didn't find any information to confirm or not that it contains such feature, but I don't think so.
Hope that can help.
I think you would probably have to revert to the text search method on the api..
https://developers.google.com/places/documentation/search#TextSearchRequests
So your request would end up looking something like the below, restricted down to a specific area
https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/place/textsearch/json?query=Mexican+Restaurant&sensor=true&location=40.846,-73.938&radius=20&key=yourKeyHere
However this will return all other Mexican restaurants in the area, so if you just want to return the one result I would use the Place Details request instead.
Separate your place types by PIPE symbol "|"
try like this :
String types = "cafe|restaurant|museum" // Listing places only cafes, restaurants and museums.
