I need to get user, channel & video insight data (views, ratings, subscribers etc) from youtube using ruby.
which tool/gem/framework to use:
I know this is asked before, but this is specific to my problem, I dont want to upload videos etc, most of the frameworks seem geared to this.
None of these seem to be a great fit to me, am I better off using httparty and rolling my own?
youtube-model - http://github.com/edgarjs/youtube-model/tree/master
youtube-g - http://github.com/tmm1/youtube-g
gdata on rails - http://code.google.com/apis/gdata/articles/gdata_on_rails.html
which api to use?
Should I use this api: http://code.google.com/apis/youtube/2.0/developers_guide_protocol_insight.html
I need a list of videos before I can call this, also I need to figure out what channel the user has, ideally get insight data at the channel level, if not I can aggregate it.
Or are feeds: http://code.google.com/apis/youtube/2.0/developers_guide_protocol_understanding_video_feeds.html
a better way to get this kind of data.
I spent some time working on this over the weekend. Youtube-Model seems to work the best:
Use example in youtube model to get authsub token
yt = YouTubeAccess.uploaded_by_user(token)
yt_videos = yt.videos
yt_videos.each{|video|
view_count = video.statistics.viewCount.to_i
favorite_count = video.statistics.favoriteCount.to_i
comment_count = video.comments.attributes['feedLink'].countHint.to_i
}
Not sure how to do channels, but this is a good start.

Is there an edge that would allow fetching all the campaigns, adgroups, etc., of a given advertiser? In researching this I see these:
GET /ads/v3/campaigns/{campaign}/
GET /ads/v3/adgroups/{adgroup}/
...
which return only single entities. I also found that there is an async report that returns entities in batch:
advertisers/<advertiser ID>/entities/batch/
Is this the best way to accomplish this? If so, the doc says it only supports campaigns right now, is that still the case?
Thanks
Sorry to waste your time folks, I've since found more and better doc and discovered that there is this:
/ads/v3/advertisers/{advertiser}/campaigns/
Here is a link to the doc for your own reference:

I am trying to get started using viewpoint against EWS within Ruby, and it's not making a lot of sense at the moment. I am wondering where I can get some good example code, or some pointers? I am using 1.0.0-beta.
For example: I know the name of the calendar folder I want to use, so I could search for it, but how to access methods in that folder once I find it? What are the appropriate parameters, etc...
Any advice?
If you haven't read it yet I would recommend the README file in the repository. It has a couple of examples that should put you on the right path. Also, the generated API documentation should give you enough to work with.
http://rubydoc.info/github/WinRb/Viewpoint/frames
At a very basic level you can get all of your calendar events with the following code:
calendar = client.get_folder :calendar
events = calendar.items
I hope that gives you a little more to get started with.
Follow-up:
Again, I would point you to the API docs for concrete methods like #items. There are however dynamically added methods depending on the type that you can fetch with obj.ews_methods. In the case of CalendarItem one of those methods is #name so you can call obj.name to get the folder name. The dynamic methods are all backed by a formatted Hash based on the returned SOAP packet. You can see it in its raw format by issuing obj.ews_item

Whenever I search for tweets using the geocode option, the returned tweets have "null" as their geo property. They are definitely coming from the right place because the location property has a name which is in the correct area, however I want to know what the coordinates of the tweet are so I can place on on a map (specifically Windows Phone).
I've tried a really hacky solution of searching for the location using the geo api, but this seems a really awkward way of doing it and often returns bad results (I want results from Oxford, UK but often the geo search return Oxford, IN for example).
Looking around, it seems Twitter's geolocation is currently broken, but I really need this to work for a presentation on Thursday demonstrating an app we built in a group, and it would really suck if our main feature didn't work.
Twitter's search API is broken. It will not return some information which is available through the regular API.
Once you have found a Tweet, you can try looking it up directly using statuses/show
For example, calling one of my tweets:
https://api.twitter.com/1/statuses/show.xml?id=202471009973051393&include_entities=true
gives
<geo>
<georss:point>51.52505194 -0.132582</georss:point>
</geo>
<coordinates>
<georss:point>51.52505194 -0.132582</georss:point>
</coordinates>
I am working on an Android App. I want to get list of all restaurant around me within a specified radius(let say 5 miles). I tried using Google places API and it works, however it limits the number results returned to 20, what if there are more than 20 restaurant in that radius around me. How do I get an exhaustive list of all the restaurants? What is the best way to do this? Is there something other than Google Places API that I can use? Thanks for your help in advance.
If you want to do it server side you can use this guy's class :
http://andrenosalsky.com/blog/2011/google-places-api-php-class/
and you have to get an api key as it is explaned here :
http://code.google.com/intl/fr/apis/maps/documentation/places/
then you can send data in JSON format to your Android
is there a way to use core location or google or some other api to provide two points on the map and get the resulting set of latitude/longitude pairs for the route?
i have seen in this tutorial Drawing polyines or routes on a MKMapView that how to draw driving direction using core graphics...but in the sample code it has route.csv which has predefined set of longitudes and latitudes.....how do i make pair of longitudes and latitudes so that i can draw driving directions.
Companies invest millions of dollars into developing routing algorithms, so I very much doubt that you'll be able to get it for free anywhere (I'm happy to be wrong, though). For example, the Google Maps JavaScript API supports routing, so I guess you could hack that up. The results wouldn't be fast or pretty, mind you.
If you have a limited use of the directions request (less than a certain amount per day) and always display results on a Google map, you do qualify for the free Google Directions API.
https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/directions/
Read the license part thoroughly to know the limits. You should easily be able to request a json response that will b easier to parse than an xml one (plus Apple added json parser in iOS).
For example
http://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/directions/json?origin=Boston,MA&destination=Concord,MA&waypoints=Charlestown,MA|Lexington,MA&sensor=false
If you are over the limit, you should look into their business licenses.
Old question but MTDirectionsKit was recently open sourced and it works great:
MTDirectionsKit
with Google API you can get directions from two points, the only problem is you just can use it once a day if you don't pay.
Search how to get the key API from google, there are a lots of videos on youtube talking about it.
Furthemore, i got a library which hepls you to draw the line between points this one https://github.com/jd-alexander/Google-Directions-Android
After you implemented it in build.gradle(Module:app), implement the library in the class like
public class LocationMapActivity extends AppCompatActivity implements RoutingListener
will appear a error to implemets the methods (obligatory to implement them but It's not necessary to use them).
I just did this:
public void route(){
Routing routing = new Routing.Builder()
.travelMode(/* Travel Mode */)
.withListener(/* Listener that delivers routing results.*/)
.waypoints(/*waypoints*/)
.key(/*api key for quota management*/)
.build();
routing.execute();
}
