I've got a 3rd party software from CDATA to download Xero data to Excel. It has a max of 13 labels which can be downloaded. This is fine for months. Not fine for tracking categories. ie we have a label per employee. CDATA says it is a limitation of the Xero API. That seems like a pretty basic error.
When I checked with CDATA they've said "not me guv".
This is not a limitation on the Xero API. We recommend that you have less than 100 options in Xero itself but this is a soft limit.

I am happy to be corrected, but as I understand it there is a limit of a maximum of 100 category options per client that can be configured. Is this just a limitation set in Xero (within the browser) or can this be increased when accessing the client's Xero data via APIs?
Please advise.

I haven't tried it yet, and would seek the knowledge of others before trying it.
Xero have just advised me that the 100 limit is in place to reduce load on their system, and that there are workarounds within Xero to achieve similar function.
I am new to twitter api.
I want to search tweets that have 2 specific terms and 1 specific hashtag, and then I want to retweet them in my account for the purpose of consolidating all the tweets.
Do I need to have a developer account?
Should I look to an already existing app (I prefer one that is free or open source), or can I do this with twitter api as a regular user?
Any tutorials or instructions are greatly appreciated. TIA.
I have applied for a developer account, but I don't know how long it will take - I also don't know what the criteria are for being granted one.
I found different kinds of "retweet" applets on ifttt.com - I implemented one of them, and it accomplished what I wanted to achieve, though not perfectly, and there was no documentation to customize functionality, etc.
I couldn't find information anywhere about using twitter API without a developer account, so I applied for that type of account. They emailed approximately 3 times to get more information about my use case, and purposes, intent of use, what I intend to develop, etc. My application was approved within approximately 48 hours.
I will update this answer if there is more information I think might be valuable to share.
<--------- UNNECESSARY BACKGROUND INFO --------->
I have a client who wanted a simple contract run through docusign. I created a form, he fills the form with basic information, and then docusign sends a contract to his customer with the information populated. So I sign up with a demo API account and get everything going. After about a week, I have everything perfect and am ready to roll with a live account. I sign up for the Basic API for $50/month and upload the template from the demo account. It doesn't let me do it, because my account is not allowed to use calculated fields. Fine, I remove the 3 calculated fields and try again. Now it says I can't use conditional fields (which isn't mentioned in the API pricing on the website). Then I look to see that the Basic API doesn't even have data labels! I can't pay for the Advanced API for this one form that will get used maybe 10 times per month.
<--------- QUESTION STARTS HERE --------->
Can I pre-populate documents with the Docusign API using "settexttabs" if I have a Basic API account? If so, how can it be done without data labels available?
Is there an alternative option that doesn't require a higher level API purchase?
I'm not sure which plan and which feature you are referring to (https://www.docusign.com/products-and-pricing) but I every plan allows for API use. I suspect you need advanced fields and that is only available in the $40 plan (not $50) but I'm not clear on which feature exactly you are trying to use.
I'm a student working on a project related to SEO; I need to write an optimization tool, so I'm writing an application using C# and Windows Forms. The main part of the application is for keyword selection, and I want to use the Google AdWords API to obtain a list of keywords.
I downloaded the C# client library, but can't understand how to set up the project: I am getting the error:
"An API exception has occurred. See ApiExecption and InnerException fields for more details".
Maybe I have made a mistake when I edited the App.config file as I haven't changed anything else. Can anyone advise me where I should begin? I would be grateful to hear your ideas.
Unfortunatley, the AdWords API isn't as open as you might think: It's meant for ad agencies managing large accounts, or software vendors who want to build ad management platforms. You need to apply to Google for an API key to gain access; they used to give them out to nearly anyone with an account, and it took about 14 days to process the application. However, Google has got very strict about their terms and conditions over the past 12 months, and to put it simply, you probably won't meet them if you're building an SEO tool; even if you apply to build a full platform, you'll need to wait six to ten weeks for approval as they've got a huge backlog of applications to process at the moment.
As this is just a student project, you should actually be able to get away with just using the AdWords API sandbox, which is open to anyone with a Google account. This won't give you real keywords or stats, but would demonstrate your understanding of the platform.
Another option would be to check out the Ad Intelligence Service of the adCenter API; you'd still need to open an adCenter account (with a $5 activation fee), but you should be able to get an adCenter API key without waiting too long. The stats available from Microsoft won't be as extensive as what Google has to offer, but will still be relevant to the at least the US market. Also, being Microsoft, they've got a good range of C# examples.
You could use the sandbox, but it is good only for testing purposes. You won't get real values for traffic estimation and keyword ideas.
To use the sandbox, what you need is a Google account (your gmail account for instance). To initialize the sandbox,
In your App.config, put email/password/developerToken as your email / your password / youremail++USD (e.g. john.doe#gmail.com++USD)
Run the GetCampaigns.cs code example. It is under v201109/BasicOperations folder in the C# examples project. This will initialize the sandbox.
Run the GetAccountHierarchy.cs code example. It is under v201109/AccountManagement folder. This will give you 5 client emails and their customer ids.
Use one of these customerIds in the ClientCustomerId field of App.config.
Run any other code example.
The video is a bit outdated, due to recent changes in AdWords API, I need to update it.
you can find a very good article series about adwords api there: Google Adwords API
it is not that hard to learn how to use it! I think the API itself is very good documented and there is a good suppo from google.
I have been using the Google Websearch API for over 1 year now. The service was deprecated in Nov 2010 but continues to provide results to date. More recently, google has started to enforce the 1,000 queries (?) per day limit on this deprecated service. I swear, last month I made over 10,000 API calls in one day without any errors from the service (same IP, same API key).
So I guess my question is has anyone found an alternative yet? I know yahoo boss is pretty good but I am working exclusively on Google for my projects. I do not mind spending money for for this service either as long as i can get 64 results from Google.
On that thought, how are services like Zoomrank able to bypass all Google limits? I have a subscription with Zoomrank and I can get daily rankings for all my keywords. Do they have a tie-up with Google or are they just accessing some secret service I don't know about.
Some people have suggested the new Google custom search, but i dont know how does that help me search the web? Google CS is limited to the CSE you create and searches within those engines. If I am looking for web results for Pizza, Google CS doesnt help me.
Thanks for your input. Much appreciated
UPDATE: #ggez44 points to some official Google documentation of the solution described below here: http://support.google.com/customsearch/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=1210656
You can use the Google Custom Search Engine to search the entire web.
In brief:
Create a CSE that searches a single site (e.g. google.com)
In the CSE control panel's Basics section, set to "Search the entire web but emphasize certain sites"
In the Sites section, delete the single site that you added when you created the CSE
Full details here:

Once that's implemented, you can enable billing in the Google API Console at a CPM of $5, to a total of 10,000 queries.
