List functions returning no resources - google-shopping-api

I have been using the online testing tool, and C# to experiment with the Google Shopping APIs. I added Products and Orders with the online utility, and am able to use the Products.get and the Orders.get functions to retrieve them, both with the online utility and in C#. But when I use list functions, no data is returned and no error is occurrs; resources[] is always null. I have tried passing parameters that should include items, and not passing parameters without success. I'm not sure how to correct this, or if I'm doing something wrong.
The first two calls to Get work, the third call to List returns no resources:
var product1 = await service.Products.Get(MerchantID, "online:en:US:261-H5MS").ExecuteAsync();
var product2 = await service.Products.Get(MerchantID, "online:en:US:261-LMS3").ExecuteAsync();
var products = await service.Products.List(MerchantID).ExecuteAsync();
Return from List:
{
"kind": "content#productsListResponse"
}

I found the IncludeInvalidInsertedItems boolean in the online utility. If I set that to true, then it returns my apparently invalid products.
Now my question is, how do I include that in my call in C#?
var products = await service.Products.List(MerchantID).ExecuteAsync();
There is no overload to List allowing me to add options.

Max number of classroom id retrieved

I have aprox 520 classrooms archived in my account, if I try to select them with
var courseList = Classroom.Courses.list({"courseStates":["ARCHIVED"]}).courses;
I get only 300 of them. Is this normal?
How can I select them all? Actually I'm writing a script to delete the oldest, but if I can't retrieve them, I can't delete them.
I understand that you got so many courses that the Courses.list() response is splitted in separate pages. In that case you can very easily navigate them by using tokens. First of all, make sure that you specify the pageSize in your request. That would set the desired amount of responses per page. Please keep in mind that the server may return fewer than the specified number of results, as it declared on the docs. In case that your response got divided into pages, the response would include the nextPageToken field. Then, to obtain the rest of courses, you have to repeat your request including that nextPageToken into the pageToken property. Please don't hesitate to ask me any doubt about this approach.
Thanks a lot Jaques, I found the solution:
var parametri = {"courseStates": "ARCHIVED"};
var page = Classroom.Courses.list(parametri);
var listaClassi = page.courses;
if (page.nextPageToken !== '') {
parametri.pageToken = page.nextPageToken;
page = Classroom.Courses.list(parametri);
listaClassi = listaClassi.concat(page.courses);
}
Anyway, I didn't need to change the pageSize, nor I found any tutorial about it.

Sorting by case using Hibernate

We have a typeahead that allows our customers to do a global search of their clients. Based on a 'filterText', we want to retrieve all the clients where any of the following fields contain the filterText: clientName, clientStreet, clientCity... but now there's a requirement and we want to prioritize the results where the clientName contains the filterText. (They should be shown first)
We currently create a customerSpecification, and the Predicate that it's being used is the following one:
return criteriaBuilder.or(
criteriaBuilder.like(customerName, likeFilter),
criteriaBuilder.like(customerStreet, likeFilter),
criteriaBuilder.like(customerCity, likeFilter),
criteriaBuilder.like(customerState, likeFilter),
criteriaBuilder.like(customerZip, likeFilter),
criteriaBuilder.like(customerCountry, likeFilter),
tempPred
);
and then we use it to get the Page with all the results
customerRepository.findAll(customerSpecification, pageable);
How can we introduce this new requirement? Any approaches?
Some pages suggest to use selectCase, doing something like this:
Expression<Object> caseExpression = criteriaBuilder.selectCase()
.when(criteriaBuilder.like(root.get(CustomerEntity_.name), likeFilter), 1)
.otherwise(2);
Order order = criteriaBuilder.desc(caseExpression);
criteriaQuery.orderBy(order);
But I can't find the way to make it works. I also found some talks about PageRequest, which receives a Sort parameter, but I didn't find how it would help, as this object is too simple for what we're looking for.
Thanks

How can I change the column name of an existing Class in the Parse.com Web Browser interface?

I couldn't find a way to change a column name, for a column I just created, either the browser interface or via an API call. It looks like all object-related API calls manipulate instances, not the class definition itself?
Anyone know if this is possible, without having to delete and re-create the column?
This is how I did it in python:
import json,httplib,urllib
connection = httplib.HTTPSConnection('api.parse.com', 443)
params = urllib.urlencode({"limit":1000})
connection.connect()
connection.request('GET', '/1/classes/Object?%s' % params, '', {
"X-Parse-Application-Id": "yourID",
"X-Parse-REST-API-Key": "yourKey"
})
result = json.loads(connection.getresponse().read())
objects = result['results']
for object in objects:
connection = httplib.HTTPSConnection('api.parse.com', 443)
connection.connect()
objectId = object['objectId']
objectData = object['data']
connection.request('PUT', ('/1/classes/Object/%s' % objectId), json.dumps({
"clonedData": objectData
}), {
"X-Parse-Application-Id": "yourID",
"X-Parse-REST-API-Key": "yourKEY",
"Content-Type": "application/json"
})
This is not optimized - you can batch 50 of the processes together at once, but since I'm just running it once I didn't do that. Also since there is a 1000 query limit from parse, you will need to do run the load multiple times with a skip parameter like
params = urllib.urlencode({"limit":1000, "skip":1000})
From this Parse forum answer : https://www.parse.com/questions/how-can-i-rename-a-column
Columns cannot be renamed. This is to avoid breaking an existing app.
If your app is still under development, you can just query for all the
objects in your class and copy the value of the old column to the new
column. The REST API is very useful for this. You may them drop the
old column in the Data Browser
Hope it helps
Yes, it's not a feature provided by Parse (yet). But there are some third party API management tools that you can use to rename the fields in the response. One free tool is called apibond.com
It's a work around, but I hope it helps

Error when I try to read/update the .Body of a Task via EWS Managed API - "You must load or assign this property before you can read its value."

I am using the Exchange Web Services Managed API to work with Tasks (Exchange 2007 SP1). I can create them fine. However, when I try to do updates, it works for all of the fields except for the .Body field. Whenever I try to access (read/update) that field, it gives the following error:
"You must load or assign this property before you can read its value."
The code I am using looks like this:
//impersonate the person whose tasks you want to read
Me.Impersonate(userName); //home-made function to handle impersonation
//build the search filter
Exchange.SearchFilter.SearchFilterCollection filter = New Exchange.SearchFilter.SearchFilterCollection();
filter.Add(New Exchange.SearchFilter.IsEqualTo(Exchange.TaskSchema.Categories, "Sales"));
//do the search
EWS.Task exTask = esb.FindItems(Exchange.WellKnownFolderName.Tasks, filter, New Exchange.ItemView(Integer.MaxValue));
exTask.Subject = txtSubject.Text; //this works fine
exTask.Body = txtBody.Text; //This one gives the error implying that the object isn't loaded
The strange thing is that, inspecting the property bag shows that the object contains 33 properties, but {Body} is not one of them. That property seems to be inherited from the base class .Item, or something.
So, do I need to re-load the object as type Item? Or reload it via .Bind or something? Keep in mind that I need to do this with thousands of items, so efficiency does matter to me.
Calling the Load method solved my problem :)
foreach (Item item in findResults.Items)
{
item.Load();
string subject = item.Subject;
string mailMessage = item.Body;
}
I had the same problem when using the EWS. My Code is requesting the events(Appointments) from the
Outlook calendar, at the end I couldn't reach to the body of the Event itself.
The missing point in my situation was the following "forgive me if there is any typo errors":
After gathering the Appointments, which are also derived from EWS Item Class, I did the following:
1- Create a List with the type Item:
List<Item> items = new List<Item>();
2- Added all appointments to items list:
if(oAppointmentList.Items.Count > 0) // Prevent the exception
{
foreach( Appointment app in oAppointmentList)
{
items.Add(app);
}
}
3- Used the exchanged service "I have already created and used":
oExchangeService.LoadPropertiesForItems(items, PropertySet.FirstClassProperties);
now if you try to use app.Body.Text, it will return it successfully.
Enjoy Coding and Best Luck
I forgot to mention the resource:

He mentioned the use of Linq to save the intermediate step, it will help you avoid using the List items and save some memory!

You can load properties using a custom property set. Some properties are Extended properties instead of FirstClassProperties.
Little example:
_customPropertySet = new PropertySet(BasePropertySet.FirstClassProperties, AppointmentSchema.MyResponseType, AppointmentSchema.IsMeeting, AppointmentSchema.ICalUid);
_customPropertySet.RequestedBodyType = BodyType.Text;
appointment.Load(_customPropertySet);

Return Count from Netflix oData Service When the LINQ Count() Method Doesn't Work

Is there a way to use a LINQ expression to request a Count query from the Netflix oData service in Silverlight 4?
The Netflix documentation shows that you can return counts by appending $count to a request for a collection, but a URL like this:
http://netflix.cloudapp.net/Catalog/Genres/$count
Is not generated from an expression like this:
var count = (from g in catalog.Genres select g).Count();
The above code returns an error saying that the Count method is not supported. Is there a way to do this in LINQ, or do I just need to make WebClient request to get the value?
Count and LongCount are not supported in Silverligth because they require a synchornous execution of the query. Since Silverlight requires all network operations to by asynchronous this is not possible.
You can either issue the HTTP query in question programatically not using DataServiceContext (or related classes), since the $count returns a text representation of the number, parsing the response is not that hard.
Or you can use a bit of a trick. You can use IncludeTotalCount() to add $inlinecount=allpages query option to the query which will include the count in the response. Then to not download all the entities from server, you can use Take(0) which will add $top=0 and thus return empty result set. But the inline count will still contain the right number.
You can access the inline count on the QueryOperationResponse.TotalCount property.
Something like this:
NetflixCatalog ctx = new NetflixCatalog(new Uri("http://netflix.cloudapp.net/Catalog"));
var q = (DataServiceQuery<Genre>)ctx.Genres.IncludeTotalCount().Take(0);
q.BeginExecute((ar) =>
{
QueryOperationResponse<Genre> r = (QueryOperationResponse<Genre>)q.EndExecute(ar);
r.TotalCount.ToString(); // Use the count in whatever way you need
}, null);
It works in LinqPad 4 using C# 4.0
var count = (from g in Genres select g).Count();
count.Dump();
Result: 518
In LinqPad 2 using C# 3.0 the error appears.
