Youtube data api v3 search.list query maximum length? - google-api

what is the allowed maximum length of q in the following youtube data api search call? is there any restriction on the number of terms allowed in q? https://www.googleapis.com/youtube/v3/search?part=snippet&maxResults=50&q=football

I don't think that there is one defined
q The q parameter specifies the query term to search for.
Your request can also use the Boolean NOT (-) and OR (|) operators to exclude videos or to find videos that are associated with one of several search terms. For example, to search for videos matching either "boating" or "sailing", set the q parameter value to boating|sailing. Similarly, to search for videos matching either "boating" or "sailing" but not "fishing", set the q parameter value to boating|sailing -fishing. Note that the pipe character must be URL-escaped when it is sent in your API request. The URL-escaped value for the pipe character is %7C.
However your going to have to consider the max length of a query string in the browser.
RFC 3986 also states there is no limit, but indicates the hostname is limited to 255 characters because of DNS limitations (section 2.3.3). Microsoft states that the maximum length of a URL in Internet Explorer is 2,083 characters, with no more than 2,048 characters in the path portion of the URL.May 2, 2009

Working with the YouTube API safeSearch parameter and the q parameter for additional restrictions

I'm working with the YouTube API and have set the safeSearch parameter to strict, but I also want to add additional restrictions to exclude videos that contain words that are not being excluded from the strict filter. As per the YouTube documentation, this can be done using the q parameter:
The q parameter specifies the query term to search for.
Your request can also use the Boolean NOT (-) and OR (|) operators to exclude videos or to find videos that are associated with one of several search terms. For example, to search for videos matching either "boating" or "sailing", set the q parameter value to boating|sailing. Similarly, to search for videos matching either "boating" or "sailing" but not "fishing", set the q parameter value to boating|sailing -fishing. Note that the pipe character must be URL-escaped when it is sent in your API request. The URL-escaped value for the pipe character is %7C.
Now I've set a piece of my code to currently look like this:
part: 'snippet, id',
q: q,
safeSearch: 'strict',
If I wanted to exclude videos with titles that contain "boating" or titles that contain "sailing" what would the q parameter need to be changed to.

Is there a way to search fhir resources on a text search parameter using wildcards?

I'm trying to search for all Observations where "blood" is associated with the code using:
GET [base]/Observation?code:text=blood
It appears that the search is matching Observations where the associated text starts with "blood" but not matching on associated text that contains "blood".
Using the following, I get results with a Coding.display of "Systolic blood pressure" but I'd like to also get these Observations by searching using the text "blood".
GET [base]/Observation?code:text=sys
Is there a different modifier I should be using or wildcards I should use?
The servers seem to do as the spec requests: when using the modifier :text on a token search parameter (like code here), the spec says:
":text The search parameter is processed as a string that searches
text associated with the code/value"
If we look at how a server is supposed to search a string, we find:
"By default, a field matches a string query if the value of the field
equals or starts with the supplied parameter value, after both have
been normalized by case and accent."
Now, if code would have been a true string search parameter, we could have applied the modifier contains, however we cannot stack modifiers, so in this case code:text:containts would may logical, but is not part of the current specification.
So, I am afraid that there is currently no "standard" way to do what you want.

Maximum internet email Message-ID length

I'm looking for the maximum character length allowed for an internet Message-ID field for validation purposes within an application. I've reviewed sources such as RFC-2822 and Wikipedia "Message-ID" as well as this SO question, among other various places. The closest answer I can find is "998 characters" because that is the maximum length that the specification allows for each line in an internet message (from RFC-2822), and the Message-ID field cannot be multiple lines.
Is 998 characters the definitive answer? Is there no such limit?
If there's one thing I've learned about email, it must be that it's a massively distributed system for fuzzing email software. That is, no matter what the RFCs say, you will find emails violating them, some email software coping and some failing. I think most will limp along with the robustness principle in mind.
With that out of the way, I think the maximum RFC compliant Message-ID length is 995 characters.
The maximum line length per the RFC you cite is 998 characters. That would include the "Message-ID:" field name, but you can do line folding between the field name and the field body. The line containing the actual Message-ID would then contain a space (the folding whitespace), "<", Message-ID, and ">". Semantically, the angle brackets are not part of the Message-ID. Therefore you end up with a maximum of 998 - 3 = 995 characters.
Actually there's no limit
RFC2822 defines these productions:
message-id = "Message-ID:" msg-id CRLF
msg-id = [CFWS] "<" id-left "#" id-right ">" [CFWS]
id-left = dot-atom-text / no-fold-quote / obs-id-left
obs-id-left = local-part
local-part = dot-atom / quoted-string / obs-local-part
quoted-string = [CFWS]
DQUOTE *([FWS] qcontent) [FWS] DQUOTE
[CFWS]
CFWS = *([FWS] comment) (([FWS] comment) / FWS)
FWS = ([*WSP CRLF] 1*WSP) / ; Folding white space
So id-left can be local-part which can be quoted-string (and thus have multiple FWS)
so you can fold it as many times as needed to fit any arbitrary
length of payload and still comply with the restrictions given
by the RFC.
It's quite wilde guess, but i would say 2000 chars is more than enough and here is why:
The only related length requirement I found is message line can't be longer than 998 chars. My wild assumption would be this: Message id should be able to be within one line of message and this limit is 998 chars. From message ids i saw during my time it's not that long. So from all the uncertainty i would say 1000 chars is very "safe" minimum range and like 2000 should cover any scenario if there is any kind of "structural overhead" of some data shape.

What is the length and characters in ids generated by elasticsearch?

The documentation of elastic search states:
The index operation can be executed without specifying the id. In such
a case, an id will be generated automatically.
But it does not provide any information about the properties of the ids.
What is the length (minimun/maximum)?
my guess is 22.
Which characters are used in the id?
My guess is [-_A-Za-z0-9]
Can the properties of the generated ids change at any time (is that part of the API)?
Auto-generated ids are random base64-encoded UUIDs. The base64 algorithm is used in URL-safe mode hence - and _ characters might be present in ids.
Auto-generated ids by elasticsearch are exactly 20 characters length (not 22 characters) and encoded by url-safe base64 algorithm [-_A-Za-z0-9].

How to use regular expression in fetching data from graphite?

I want to fetch data from different counters from graphite in one single request like:-
summarize(site.testing_server_2.triggers_unknown.count,'1hour','sum')&format=json
summarize(site.testing_server_2.requests_failed.count,'1hour','sum')&format=json
summarize(site.testing_server_2.core_network_bad_soap.count,'1hour','sum')&format=json
and so on.. 20 more.
But I don't want to fetch
summarize(site.testing_server_2.module_xyz_abc.count,'1hour','sum')&format=json
in that request how can i do that?
This is what I tried:
summarize(site.testing_server_2.*.count,'1hour','sum')&format=json&from=-24hour
It gets json data for 'module_xyz_abc' too, but that i don't want.
You can't use regular expressions per se, but you can use some similar (in concept and somewhat in format) matching techniques available within the Graphite Render URL API. There are a few ways you can "match" within a target's "bucket" (i.e. between the dots).
Target Matching
Asterisk * match
The asterisk can be used to match ANY -zero or more- character(s). It can be used to replace the entire bucket (site.*.test) or within the bucket (site.w*t.test). Here is an example:
site.testing_server_2.requests_*.count
This would match site.testing_server_2.requests_failed.count, site.testing_server_2.requests_success.count, site.testing_server_2.requests_blah123.count, and so forth.
Character range [a-z0-9] match
The character range match is used to match on a single character (site.w[0-9]t.test) in the target's bucket and is specified as a range or list. For example:
site.testing_server_[0-4].requests_failed.count
This would match on site.testing_server_0.requests_failed.count, site.testing_server_1.requests_failed.count, site.testing_server_2.requests_failed.count, and so forth.
Value list (group capture) {blah, test, ...} match
The value list match can be used to match anything in the list of values, in the specified portion of the target's bucket.
site.testing_server_2.{triggers_unknown,requests_failed,core_network_bad_soap}.count
This would match site.testing_server_2.triggers_unknown.count, site.testing_server_2.requests_failed.count, and site.testing_server_2.core_network_bad_soap.count. But nothing else, so site.testing_server_2.module_xyz_abc.count would not match.
Answer
Without knowing all of your bucket values it is difficult to be surgical with the approach (perhaps with a combination of the matching options), so I'll recommend just going with a value list match. This should allow you to get all of the values in one -somewhat long- request. For example (and keep in mind you'd need to include all of your values):
summarize(site.testing_server_2.{triggers_unknown,requests_failed,core_network_bad_soap}.count,'1hour','sum')&format=json&from=-24hour
