I tried running 1k queries in a loop to see how many google would track, and after running 1k queries, Google's Places API Console has me at 5.53k Queries.
require('open_uri)
gr = build_query_list(1000) # a list of URLs for google places requests
gr.length
=>100
gr.each{ |r| open(r).read }
After running the above, the console shows 5.53k more queries than I started with.
This seems to be a problem with open(str).read rather than the API. I started using the ruby gem and my problems went away.

One of the most important KPIs doesn't seem to be available via Youtube-Analytics-API. I can't get the total of thumbnail-impressions that have been shown to users. With that I could aggregate the impression-CTR using the views from certain traffic-sources (YT_SEARCH etc.). The docs don't seem to offer anything that would help me though.
Youtube-Reporting-API seems to have the same metrics as Youtube-Analytics-API. So I guess trying to use the Reporting-API would not help me either.
Is there any way to retrieve the number of thumbnail-impressions or the Impression-CTR programmatically? Any workaround? Am I missing something obvious? Or is there any intention of making that metric available via Analytics-API soon?
There is some very old, unanswered posts that may relate to my problem:
How to access new YouTube Analytics Metrics (Impressions, Impressions CTR) from API
Are Thumbnail Impressions/Views available through YouTube Analytics API?
There is a thread in google's issue-tracker that clearly states that (for now) it is NOT possible and in fact it is intended behavior (won't fix)!
I'll keep checking the API's Revision-History and try to keep this answer up to date.
I'm trying to use the Google Analytics Core Reporting API and have the following troubles. I know how to fetch that I want the problem I have is:
I want to use a filter only for specific metrics and not for all of them.
Is this even possible?
Here is an example how my Reporting "Code" looks like:
Metrics "ga:sessions
ga:goal6Completions
ga:goal7Completions
ga:goal10Completions
ga:totalEvents
ga:uniqueEvents"
Dimensions "ga:date"
Filters "ga:eventCategory==customerType"
I have the same problems with segments as with the filters that all metrics all segmented/filtered and only specific metrics should.
There really isn't another way other to get the data you want without creating a new request where the filter isn't applied unfortunately.
Just remember that you are only allowed five requests total. To give context, this may only apply to how I use the Reporting API, but I use Google App Script to push data to Google Sheets.
This may or may not be helpful to you, but the reporting code I use I have made available in a repo on GitHub: https://github.com/jessfeliciano/aggregateGoogleAnalyticsReporting/blob/master/objectQueryWithFilter.js
I've included a guide that gives additional information regarding creating requests in general, so it may spark other ways to go about creating your data trees. I hope this helps.
I have written a custom crawler to index all the data from the connections seedlists
https:///forums/seedlist/myserver
When we started utilizing subcommunities, I double checked to make sure subcommunities behave practically the same as communities. They seem to, they have all the same properties in the Connections DB, just subs have a parent uuid. Got it.
I expected my crawler to find the sub communities discussions (basically just iterating through the atom feed with a Java XML parser) and pulling out the relevant information. Are subcommunities not published to this seedlist? If not, there does not seem to be a subcommunity specific seedlist.
We are currently on Connections 4.5
Thank you.
I have found the answer here.

There seems to be an additional element that links to the sub-community feed from within the community. A crawler will need to send a GET request to that link.
I asked this question last week but only got 8 views.
A part of the application I'm working on requires creating a ton of user-to-user requests and validating they all get processed correctly in the application. This requires countless hours of QA work and could be automated with a simple script like
users_api = Koala::Facebook::TestUsers.new(config)
users = test_users.create_network(10, true, "email,user_likes,publish_actions")
users.permutations(2) do |u1, u2|
graph = Koala::Facebook::API.new(u1['access_token'])
requests_types.each do |req|
graph # .user_to_user_request(u2, req) Oh noes I can't do this part
end
end
Everything I've seen points to the fact that it's impossible to create user-to-user requests in a script, even for test users. Is there any other (automated) way to do this?
Edit
What I'm trying to find is a way to create user-to-user requests. The validation would still be manual by the QA team. The problem we're facing is that they need to create 90 requests and make sure they didn't skip a single one, then validate the data.
Solution to this is tricky one. You probably have two solutions, depending on what you need.
First one is to manually provide access tokens for tests. That would require creating several fictional users or gathering access tokens from friends via Api Explorer. This is of course very inconvenient, but probably needed for second idea so I'm mentioning it. The question is how much users will you need to test? In most situations 3-4 users should be enough to provide test case.
Second idea will require actually running tests suite once using first idea and recording results using gems like webmock or fakeweb. This will allow you to remember what API response will serve and using it in later tests without need to regenerate tokens. This should also speed up your tests significantly as will avoid waiting for each request from FB API.
I am working on an application for Windows Phone 7 that makes asynchronous queries to OData. I use the following general form for the query:
DataServiceQuery<Entity> query = ourEntities.CreateQuery<Entity>("Entities");
entities.BeginExecute(QueryComplete, query);
I am having trouble adding filters to these queries, though. Using LINQ did not seem to be an option for asynchronous queries, so I tried adding OData filters using the AddQueryOption method mentioned in this article (trying to get results for when the Id is 1):
query.AddQueryOption("$filter", "Id eq 1");
If we take the URL from the async result and paste it into a browser, it works properly and returns the expected result. However, attempting to evaluate the result of the query always seems to result in a NotSupportedException with no message or inner stack trace.
Ideally, I'd like to be able to use LINQ, like Scott Hanselman did in his blog post about OData. If that is not an option for asynchronous data retrieval, how can I achieve filtering on the query?
Currently the LINQ support on the Windows Phone 7 platform is limitted. The previous WCF Data Services client was meant to try what would work and what would not work for our users, but it has its limitations. See this blog post for more details: http://blogs.msdn.com/b/astoriateam/archive/2010/09/27/wcf-data-services-client-library-and-windows-phone-7-next-steps.aspx
In general I would suggest you use the BeginExecute method instead and construct the URL manually without the use of DataServiceQuery class, which as noted in the above blog will not be available in the first official release.
