I am able to get a list of Campaigns and filter on those to get only the campaigns I want.
How do I get a list of Contacts for 1 specific campaign?
I have the web service classes in my project but can't see any way of relating to the Child objects of the Campaign object.
Documentation is awful, none of the examples had working code and they needed amending in order to work.
Answer is don't use v2 of the API - use v1 instead which means no strongly typed objects etc but it's the only way to do it

I'm looking for the correct API for the events that show up in a regular Google Search, the ones that are structured (with name, datetime, location)
Any help or guidance is appreciated
I have tried the Custom Search with no luck, and also the Calendar API (which seems to require a calendar ID, more so for personal calendars or targeted public ones)
We've actually just made an API to scrape the Google event results. You can query it directly like this:
https://serpapi.com/search.json?engine=google_events&q=Events+in+Austin
Or if you are using Ruby, you can do something like this:
require 'google_search_results'
params = {
engine: "google_events",
q: "Events in Austin",
}
client = GoogleSearchResults.new(params)
events_results = client.get_hash[:events_results]
Some documentation: https://serpapi.com/google-events-api
I had a quick look - while I didn't find a fully programatic API yet, here are two things that can get you started on more:
How to search the events page directly: use the following URL schema: https://www.google.com/search?q=cool+conferences&oq=cool+conferences&ibp=htl;events&rciv=evn - replacing "cool+conferences" with any string you like - this can let you create dynamic URLs for event searches.
How to access event metadata for a given page - google is pushing a standard to structure data on webpages to support "smart" searches such as for events. They are using a data structure called JSON-ld. More details. If you want to read such metadata from a webpage, here is one scraper I have found that does that - extruct (though I didn't get a change to test it yet).
Hope this helps :)
Given a unique_email_id, how can I retrieve all list members matching that ID?
I am attempting to use the search-members endpoint, ala what I do for searching email-addresses:
https://us9.api.mailchimp.com/3.0/search-members?query=chris#chris.com
but instead (given a unique_email_id of 4dce5
https://us9.api.mailchimp.com/3.0/search-members?query=4dce5
and I'm getting no results.
Is there another endpoint I'm missing?
However using the query string ?unique_email_id=X attached to the end
of GET lists/list_id/members will pull up anyone with that specific
EUID.
Indeed this works very well. Example :
GET /3.0/lists/dfc3cf4b38/members?unique_email_id=f4b75a9d78&fields=members.email_address
will return :
{"members":[{"email_address":"my_email#hotmail.com"}]}
I've had a chat with the mailchimp support about this issue. This was there response (part of it because not everything discussed in that chat is relevant to this question):
(09:00:04 AM) Mailchimp support: Thanks for hanging in there, Me. It looks like
the email_unique_id can't be searched via API endpoint like it can be
within the app. Another option to get to your goal is GET to
lists/list_id/members with the query string
?fields=members.email_address,members.unique_email_id which should
pull up all their subscribers' emails and unique ids. At that point,
you can filter through those results for the unique id
(09:00:52 AM) Me: Same goes for the user ID I guess?
(09:02:05 AM) Me: Why can't it be searched? When I list ids as well I might miss information. I don't need the unique_email_id in my response, I need to search for it to retrieve user information without getting duplicates in my result
(09:07:11 AM) Mailchimp support: Ok I understand, one
moment while we test this out for you. Thanks again for your patience!
(09:16:22 AM) Mailchimp support: Hey Me, thanks for waiting. I tested the
endpoint lists/list_id/members?unique_email_id=e8da8fa60a and I was
able to return just the one subscriber with that field. Search-Members
only functions the way it does in app where you can only search
specific strings like names, email addresses, but not ids as those
aren't visible in app. However using the query string
?unique_email_id=X attached to the end of GET lists/list_id/members
will pull up anyone with that specific EUID.
I'm working with the Okta API and trying to understand a couple of things:
How do you get a count of members. For example, how do I get a count of groups defined, or the count of users assigned to a group. The admin tool seems to do this easily enough, but I need to do this in another tool I'm working on.
I can iterate through the pages until I get to the last page, incrementing a counter as I go along, but this is very slow, especially when trying to get the number of groups defined for my subdomain, or other similarly high-numbered value.
How do filters and filterbuilders work? The basics are pretty simple, but the filter syntax doesn't seem to be defined anywhere.
Thanks!
AFAIK the only way to get a count is by getting all users/groups and subsequently the count. There is no API call to get a summary. Basic, but works.
Check the Okta API docs at http://developer.okta.com/docs/api/resources/users.html#user-model for the user model. You will get a collection of those JSON objects when you list the users - http://developer.okta.com/docs/api/resources/users.html#list-users
Call this last API and count the instances that you get back in the JSON collection.
I store specific custom field for each transaction. I'd like to conduct a search by this field. I wouldn't like to retrieve too many transactions (can filter by payment method id, but still) and iterate through them on application side. So, I read a documentation, didn't find an ability to search by custom field (only by predefined). I didn't try it out, but probably it's possibly to do so by following the same pattern like
var stream = gateway.transaction.search(function (search) {
search.myCustomField().is("custom_field_value");
// or search.customFields.myCustomField().is("custom_field_value");
});
Thanks in advance
I work as a developer for Braintree. Searching on custom fields is not supported at this time. You can see all of the searchable transaction attributes listed here.
If you would like to discuss alternatives, I recommend emailing our support team at support#braintreepayments.com to see if there is another method to achieve what you are trying to do.
I am using a filter to apply object level permissions to a collection. Resources in a second collection have a many-to-many relationship with the first. On the browsable API, when creating resources in the second collection, the user is presented with a list of resources from the first to link it to. However, this list is not filtered, so the user can see values that they should not be able to see.
I've poked around the documentation and source a bit and I cannot see a way to add filtering to the queryset that generates the choices without overloading or modifying a bunch of code to pass the request data down (probably removing some of the collection specific data on the way) and then apply the filters.
Is there a better way to achieve this?
Currently there's nothing to support this out of the box. Pull requests are always welcome. If it's something you want to work on you may want to either open a ticket on GitHub or hit up the mailing list to discuss it first.
