I want to get share count for a particular url from Google Plus.I tried by passing activity id in Activities: get to get share count. It is working fine but I want the same by passing only url alone.
In Facebook I passed only the Url as input in query url with input url and i got share counts for an url.Is there any ways available in Google Plus to get the share count by passing only url.

Welcome to the world of Google APIs. The method in question
Activites.get
GET https://www.googleapis.com/plus/v1/activities/activityId
Takes a single parameter
activityId string The ID of the activity to get.
This is how this method works you must pass an activityId to it you can not pass a url. I can suggest running an Activies.list first in order to find the activity you seek.
You're best option is to use the Search API. Use the URL as the search term and page through all of the results until no more are found. You then have a number for how many times the URL has been shared publicly on Google+.

I'm using the Google Places API endpoint "findplacefromtext" and tried a search similar to the example.
https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/place/findplacefromtext/json?input=mongolian%20grill&inputtype=textquery&fields=photos,formatted_address,name,opening_hours,rating&locationbias=circle:2000#47.6918452,-122.2226413&key=YOUR_API_KEY
However, when you use this it only ever returns one result. There is a cafe near me that's called "Cream" but when you pass that as the "input" parameter it returns shops that have a category of "Ice Cream". I thought it should only search the name of the business.... If I can't find the place by name does it search the category type as a fall back? When I execute the same search in Google Maps it returns the same data but I get multiple results and I can see the place I am trying to retrieve 3rd on the search result list.
Is it possible to make it return more than one result? The documentation doesn't mention anything about this.
I believe what you need is the Text Search request. The Find Place request is meant for exact addresses.
The Google Places API Text Search Service is a web service that
returns information about a set of places based on a string — for
example "pizza in New York" or "shoe stores near Ottawa" or "123 Main
Street". The service responds with a list of places matching the text
string and any location bias that has been set.
The service is especially useful for making ambiguous address queries
in an automated system, and non-address components of the string may
match businesses as well as addresses. Examples of ambiguous address
queries are incomplete addresses, poorly formatted addresses, or a
request that includes non-address components such as business names.

I've read multiple posts of SO regarding the topic.
How to code a URL shortener?
How do URL shortener calculate the URL key? How do they work?
PHP URL Shortening Algorithm
Every posts recommends to store the url in the database. It will return you the id, pass the id to a hash function, returning a tiny id.
My question is what will happen if the same url is requested to shorten it again? Bitly.com returns the same tiny url again for the same url.
What exactly should be the best way to go forward in order to ensure non-duplicate urls??
Given a unique_email_id, how can I retrieve all list members matching that ID?
I am attempting to use the search-members endpoint, ala what I do for searching email-addresses:
https://us9.api.mailchimp.com/3.0/search-members?query=chris#chris.com
but instead (given a unique_email_id of 4dce5
https://us9.api.mailchimp.com/3.0/search-members?query=4dce5
and I'm getting no results.
Is there another endpoint I'm missing?
However using the query string ?unique_email_id=X attached to the end
of GET lists/list_id/members will pull up anyone with that specific
EUID.
Indeed this works very well. Example :
GET /3.0/lists/dfc3cf4b38/members?unique_email_id=f4b75a9d78&fields=members.email_address
will return :
{"members":[{"email_address":"my_email#hotmail.com"}]}
I've had a chat with the mailchimp support about this issue. This was there response (part of it because not everything discussed in that chat is relevant to this question):
(09:00:04 AM) Mailchimp support: Thanks for hanging in there, Me. It looks like
the email_unique_id can't be searched via API endpoint like it can be
within the app. Another option to get to your goal is GET to
lists/list_id/members with the query string
?fields=members.email_address,members.unique_email_id which should
pull up all their subscribers' emails and unique ids. At that point,
you can filter through those results for the unique id
(09:00:52 AM) Me: Same goes for the user ID I guess?
(09:02:05 AM) Me: Why can't it be searched? When I list ids as well I might miss information. I don't need the unique_email_id in my response, I need to search for it to retrieve user information without getting duplicates in my result
(09:07:11 AM) Mailchimp support: Ok I understand, one
moment while we test this out for you. Thanks again for your patience!
(09:16:22 AM) Mailchimp support: Hey Me, thanks for waiting. I tested the
endpoint lists/list_id/members?unique_email_id=e8da8fa60a and I was
able to return just the one subscriber with that field. Search-Members
only functions the way it does in app where you can only search
specific strings like names, email addresses, but not ids as those
aren't visible in app. However using the query string
?unique_email_id=X attached to the end of GET lists/list_id/members
will pull up anyone with that specific EUID.
On the request for current place I receive a list of places. Every place has an address but that address is a string so I can't get only the country name.
Could someone help me on this matter?
Country is only explicitly available when using the Place Details API, not the Places API. (https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/places/web-service/details)
You first need to look up a place_id for the specific place you're looking for. You then use your place_id to pull details from the Details API, which includes information like:
Fully formatted address, including country
Address components
Sample reviews
Phone # and website
Operating hours
If you have read the Google Places Autocomplete doc,you must know about API properties.you can use the type as '(region)' and will return you many results (plus country).And if you look inside address_components field (it's array with dynamic length),you will see,that the last item of array is what you need.Here is a great page to read a correct doc and try examples yourself.
http://www.w3docs.com/learn-javascript/places-autocomplete.html
The documentation says how I can limit searches to a country by using componentRestrictions. However, the documentation apparently only relates
to JavaScript.
I'm doing a regular request from a PHP application, and need to limit a place
search to a country. However, I can't see how I can limit search results to a country using a regular GET request.
I believe you can just add components=country:XX to your request URL :)
