I am attempting to use the V5 Bing News API. On the documentation here (https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dn760793.aspx#news) it shows that for multiple language searches, you would specify the Accept-Language in the header, and the cc field in the query.
So for example if I want both French and English results, from both US and France, I did:
Accept-Language: fr,en
cc=FR,US
But this is not working. This only returns US/English results. If I remove the US/English portion, I would get french results.
What am I doing wrong?
You can only get results from one language per API call. If you want to get results for multiple languages for the query, then you need to call the API twice passing the appropriate headers/params to customize the language.

I'm trying to use youtube data search and video API in my web application to display top view-counted videos related with several keywords. I'm planing to use totally two calls: the first call get id list with search API, and the second call get details for the ids hit on the first call, with video API.
My question is with regard to search API. Based on my trial and error, If I input multiple keyword with space separation in the parameter q for search API, it's looks behaves as AND condition it's not same as common behavior such as google. To search with multiple keywords with OR condition, As far as I tried, it's looks working if I Include the OR between keywords, but I would like to confirm my assumption correct, officially if possible.
I should be able to find this kind of specification in the official documentation, but finally I have no luck. It's very helpful if you could share these links if exists or give me the official answer.
By the way, it is my first post to stackoverflow. If there is missing point of my question, please kindly advice.
When searching the term "Queensland" in google places auto complete two of the results that come back are in the complete wrong languages. One returns in Japanese and the other in Korean. The language is explicitly set to english AU and the results that are returned are places in the state of Queensland Australia just in the wrong language. I would ask google support directly but it keeps directing me here.
This is the api call I'm making:
https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/place/autocomplete/json?input=queensland&key=[API KEY OMMITED]&components=country:AU&types=(regions)&language=en-AU
And these are the results I am getting back:
"Queensland, Australia"
"Gold Coast QLD, Australia"
"Australia, Queensland, バーリー・ヘッズ" (Burleigh Heads)
"Australia, Queensland, 워릭" (Warwick)
I'm not sure if this is a bug in the api or there is an issue with the call I'm making.
I'm using the Google Books JSON API to get information about books. But all responses I get back is in my local language, even if I query using an english title. Does anyone know if there's any parameter I can set to give results in a certain language? Or can I prevent Google from using my location to get the results in any way?
You can set the langRestrict parameter, in order to restrict results to books with the given language code.
Check out: https://developers.google.com/books/docs/v1/using#langRestrict
Hope that helps.
I just wanted to know if anything changed on geocode API from 21 st February because before 21st it was validating zip code 9 digits but from yesterday it is giving an error on 9 digits zip code and now it only validating 5 digits zip code.
More information in your question would be helpful.
I haven't noticed any change, but I thought I'd take a look at the GeoCoder Documentation FAQ for you.
Yes, based on that date, I'd say something changed recently.
Perhaps this is what you're referring to, but that's only a speculation since you didn't provide any detail or examples.
Troubleshooting
I’m getting more queries that return ZERO_RESULTS with the new geocoder. What’s going on?
In the new geocoder, ambiguous, incomplete and badly formatted queries, such as misspelled or nonexistent addresses, are prone to produce ZERO_RESULTS. These queries would typically produce incorrect results in the old geocoder, such as returning the suburb if the address could not be found. We believe that returning ZERO_RESULTS is actually a more correct response in such situations.
If your application deals with user input of addresses, the Place Autocomplete feature in the Places API may produce better quality results. Place Autocomplete allows users to select from a set of results based on what they’ve typed, which allows users to choose between similarly named results, and to adjust their query if they misspell an address.
If you have an application dealing with ambiguous or incomplete queries or queries that may contain errors, we recommend you use the Place Autocomplete feature in the Places API rather than the forward geocoder available in the Geocoding API. For more details, see Best Practices When Geocoding Addresses and the Address Geocoding in the Google Maps APIs blog post.

I'm curious to know how Market Samurai, Long Tail Pro and other software handle retrieving the top 10 Google search results and not running into limits. It appears that these software packages use the users own Google account. Google Custom Search limits users to 100 queries per day (the free limit) but people tend to do keyword research on hundreds or even thousands of keywords per day and don't pay any additional amounts to Google.
Are they paying extra for this service, are they using a different API (perhaps the Adwords API?) or are they scraping the Google search results page (violation of TOS)? Really would like to know! Thanks.
i have done this in one of my project (in java).
this is very simple, in java there is one library call JSoup by using this library you can send get request to google, for example:
https://www.google.co.in/webhp?sourceid=chrome-instant&ion=1&espv=2&ie=UTF-8#q=<your url encoded search term>
this will return you an HTML code of google search result with your own term.
using Jsoup u can find specific HTML tag with specific class or id. this concept helps you to extract url link, title and description from google search result.
for working example check here, in that example you can extract google serach result links with custom search term.
i hope this will help you.
