Given a particular image, I'd like to be able to use Google Cloud Vision Web Detection to search for partial matches (partialMatchingImages) within a particular website, rather than the entire web, as is the default behavior.
I'm trying to get similar behavior as when you Search by Image in Google Images, upload an image, and type "site:nytimes.com" (for example) in the search bar.
Is this possible with the Google Cloud Vision API?
So far I've investigated in the official documentation for current and beta features. It doesn't seem it is possible yet to do a search for a specific website with the Cloud Vision API.
The examples given in from the official documentation also it doesn't seem possible to have any reference towards such functionality either.
There is a request going in the public issue tracker of google, although they still have to answer it yet.

For a given Google API, is there any way to dynamically check usage against any of the current limits for that API?
For example, this page https://developers.google.com/classroom/limits?hl=en shows that I can query the Classrooms API 4,000,000 times per client per day. At midday, without going to the API Console, how could I know that I've already hit 3 million queries?
I'm hoping that there's a billing or usage API that covers this, but can't see it.
Note: I'm not having any issue right now with a specific call, just anticipating that my usage will scale up significantly in the next few months, so am looking for a solution for monitoring rather than advice on not hitting the limits at all. My specific use-case is for Google Classrooms, but reading wider around this I can't see a general solution either.
Answer:
No, dynamically you can't retrieve this information.
Feature Request:
You can however let Google know that this is a feature that is important for the Google Workspace APIs to have, and that you would like to request they implement it.
The page to file a Feature Request for the Google Classroom API is here, as there is no specific component for Google Workspace APIs in general I would suggest filing it here instead.
You can use Google's Cloud Monitoring API to achieve this. This is the documentation page for APIs-
https://cloud.google.com/monitoring/api/v3
This is the documentation page for concerned metrics-

I am using Google translate API in my iOS app. But to get the best fit translation for my words, I need to get synonyms of translated word like it present on Google Translate web page.
I have found some libraries which provide synonyms but all works with English words only.
Is there any Google API which we can use with google translate api to get synonyms of translated word in target language.
The Google Translation API service doesn't support the multiple translations of a word functionality. This feature is only available via the web interface at translate.google.com, as it is mentioned in the Google's official FAQs documentation.
Based on this, it seems that GCP doesn't offers a specific API alternative you can use to get synonyms; Therefore, I think you should try by using third-party software, such as Datamuse API or the libraries you mentioned before, to get the synonyms and then translate them by using the Google Translation API service as an available workaround.
I am using Google API to get the place information and store it into database. Using Google API I am able to get address, opening hours, rating and reviews as shown in below image.
But, I am not able to get place description which is highlighted in below image in red circle. ("Quaint Italian mainstay for deep-dish, Chicago-style pizza, calzones, pastas & hot dogs.")
I want that information in my application. I think google is taking those information from
Freebase https://developers.google.com/freebase/guide/basic_concepts
Wikipedia https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/How_to_contribute
But I am not sure.
Can any one help me suggest me that how I can get that information or any other API that I can use to get that information based on google place_id.
Any help would be highly appreciated.
Thank you
Accordingly to the documentation and #xomena, currently you cannot obtain this data via Places API. There is a feature request in Google issue tracker to make the detailed business type available in Places API, however Google doesn't expose any ETA (estimation time of arrival:
https://issuetracker.google.com/issues/35822953
Feel free to star this feature request to express your interest and subscribe to notification from Google.
To my knowledge it is not possible to get this information from the Google Places API. The API documentation does not display the venue description. Try to have a look here: https://developers.google.com/places/web-service/details (it might be that Google does not share all information from their platform with other developers..).
I would suggest you to do one of the following (or perhaps both):
Scrape Google the old school way; i.e. by getting the information from the HTML. There is a quite decent guide for doing that here (you would of course have to adjust the example to scraping Google instead): https://medium.freecodecamp.org/how-to-scrape-websites-with-python-and-beautifulsoup-5946935d93fe.
What I would recommend and which probably is the fastest: enrich your current data with other data. You could e.g. use Foursquare and search for the places you get from Google. It should be possible to get the description for each place on Foursquare. See here: https://developer.foursquare.com/docs/api/venues/details. If you have problems with matching the places after your query has returned, because the venue names are not exactly the same - but close, then you could use an algorithm to match strings that are close; perhaps using the levenstein distance (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Levenshtein_distance).
I've visited Google custom search engine. It seems it is for the sites included in the custom search engine. This is not what we want. So, I'm asking.
We need this api, even it is paid service.
I would like to answer this question by myself.
No API to access Google images.
All!
I wanted to develop a feature for a blog I wrote myself. I want to grab the search result of Google Images, and display them in a user-friendly way in or beside my blog's posts editor.
So I did some research on code.google.com
I found Google's official AJAX API for Google images. But on its documentation site it says something like this:
Important: The Google Image Search API
has been officially deprecated as of
May 26, 2011. It will continue to work
as per our deprecation policy, but the
number of requests you may make per
day may be limited
I know they can restrict the number of requests I can make by my API key.But..
Can anyone tell me how exactly is this API restricted? like how much traffic or requests is allowed?
Is it possible to use this API to develop a Wordpress plugin that everyone else can use?
