When you visit to Google+ Local and search for the restaurant, you can see the photos and user comment.
Please make those API available.
EDIT: The Places API now supports the return of one place photo if available for a Place Search request and up to ten place photos for a Place Details request.
If a photos array is returned with your request, you can pass the photo_reference from a contained photo object to a Place Photo request with the maxheight and/or maxwidth, sensor and key parameters:

I would like to import the profile picture of a number of Youtube Channels into a Google Sheets spreadsheet.
This is the information that I have been able to retrieve so far:
To retrieve the profile picture, I have used the following code using Social Blade's website:
=IMPORTXML(D2,"//img[#id='YouTubeUserTopInfoAvatar']")
However while it doesn't result in an erorr it doesn't retrieve the image from the src. Any idea how to make it work?
In regard to the description, I would like to use a code that can be consistently used using either the channel's id or Youtube's username. Other solutions that I have tried have allowed me to get a truncated description, not the full one.
Maybe there is a more cost-effective way of doing this task, but without much Javascript experience this is the easiest way I have found to retrieve the information. Ideally, I would like to find a solution that calls on the Youtube API and bypasses the 50-call limit.
Here's a sample Google Sheets template to work on a solution.
OK. I've edited your Google Sheet. You forgot the #src attribute for the image.
=IMAGE(IMPORTXML(E2;"//img[#id='YouTubeUserTopInfoAvatar']/#src"))
And I've added the XPath for the Youtube channel description (add "/about" at the end of the youtube channel links).
=IMPORTXML(C2,"//div[#class='about-description branded-page-box-padding']")
Note : You have to fix your "ChannelID" formula to extract the ID.
I would like to use the google places api to show images on my website pages, in order to determine if we can use this I need to know the exact behavior of this call of the image. Does it mean that every time when a user enters a page to which I have attached the google places images functionality a call needs to be performed in order to show the image?
If so I can determine how much it would cost to make use of this functionality, hence page views are equal to api calls.
Thanks in advance
The Google Places Photos API has some pretty good documentation.
For each place you want photos for, you first have to make a request to Place Search or Place Details to retrieve a photos array. Each photo that you want to display would be another request through the api using your API Key and a photoreference from the photos array.
Both types of request could either be made from client side code or from your server. If made from your server, you could reduce the number of API calls made by caching photos arrays and photos for use across many web requests.
I'm working with YouTube videos and I noticed the field topicDetails.topicCategories (see in the API). It's not clear to me if this field is autogenerated by YouTube or if the user has to fill it. I tried to find some relevant field when editing the video but I didn't find it anywhere. So I guess YouTube fills this field based on tags, keywords etc. Is that correct?
google Api Explorer Check this site to see for which api you need which parameters.
I couldn't find a definitive answer for your question in the YouTube documentation for topicCategories, but I have some evidences that it is automatically calculated by YouTube.
First I couldn't find a way to set it in the configuration options of the channel I created.
Second, they used to have a (now deprecated) attribute called Guide Category they explicitly say:
A guideCategory resource identifies a category that YouTube algorithmically assigns based on a channel's content or other indicators, such as the channel's popularity. The list is similar to video categories, with the difference being that a video's uploader can assign a video category but only YouTube can assign a channel category.
So I believe that this Topic Category is automatically calculated by You Tube.
I am using Google place autocomplete in my website. The user will be redirected to different pages depending on state/province of place they selected.
So my question is: how to get exact state/province of a place the user has selected?
You can get lots of details using
service = new google.maps.places.PlacesService(map);
service.getDetails(request, callback);
Then inspecting the address_components should give you administrative_area_level you are looking for
See doc at:
https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/geocoding/intro?#Types for adrress components

Since you didn't provide much information, these are some tips:
Use the full list of Open Graph Meta Tags:
og:title - The title of the entity.
og:type - The type of entity. You must select a type from the list of Open Graph types.
og:image - The URL to an image that represents the entity. Images must be at least 50 pixels by 50 pixels. Square images work best, but you are allowed to use images up to three times as wide as they are tall.
og:url - The canonical, permanent URL of the page representing the entity. When you use Open Graph tags, the Like button posts a link to the og:url instead of the URL in the Like button code.
og:site_name - A human-readable name for your site, e.g., "IMDb".
fb:admins or fb:app_id - A comma-separated list of either the Facebook IDs of page administrators or a Facebook Platform application ID. At a minimum, include only your own Facebook ID.
After adding the Meta Tags, run the website again in the URL Linter to clear the Facebook caching.
