Hi I'm trying to get the entryId back (so I can update thumbnails) with the kaltura API. How do i do this. My thought is to use title and category. But can't figure out how to do that. Any suggestions?
You can use the list action on the media service - see here for ducomentation.
You can use the nameEqual field to search for the specific entry. I suggest search by the name. If you want, you have more field you can search on in the filter

I am trying to use the OpenAlex API: https://docs.openalex.org/api
This API provides access to a catalog of scholarly papers, authors, institutions, etc...
It is easy enough to make a query for an institution's information such. Here is an example from the API docs:
https://api.openalex.org/I19820366
I am trying to figure out how to get a specific institution's ID.
In the docs, there is a statement that this ID number is Microsoft Academic Graph's institutional ID: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/research/project/microsoft-academic-graph/
But I have been unable to figure out anything in Microsoft Academic Graph either.
How can I find the institutional ID for a specific institution?
I am a beginner, and I also just started to retrieve data from the OpenAlex API. For me, the easiest way was either to use the ROR id or the GRID id, which you can both look up for any institution either here: https://www.grid.ac/ or here: https://ror.org/
Then you use either ROR or GRID-ID as an identifier (https://docs.openalex.org/about-the-data/institution#ids) and that identifier as a filter, as specified in the API documentation.
Be aware, that except for the Institution-ID, that you want to find, all the other institutional IDs, like ROR or GRID, have to be put in your request as a full URL. Take the example of the Johns Hopkins University. It's not enough to put their ROR like this: "00za53h95", you have to put in the API request like that: "https://ror.org/00za53h95" (without the quotes) or else it won't work. In my example, a request could look like this:
https://api.openalex.org/institutions/https://ror.org/00za53h95
This will deliver a nice json file with all the info you need, including the institution's ID in the database. Save the information as a file by using a cURL GET request or just do it via your browser and get the result as a webpage, both works. If you do the latter, you should follow the suggestion of the OpenAlex team and install a browser plugin like JSONVue, that will make the experience of reading the result on your screen so much better.
Hope that helps.
You can use the OpenAlex API to search for the ID like this:
https://api.openalex.org/institutions?filter=display_name.search:University%20of%20Virginia
In addition to Heather's comment, I'd like to add that we can now go to https://explore.openalex.org/ and search for any entity. Start typing "Johns Hopkins University" and you'll get to this page: https://explore.openalex.org/institutions/I145311948 which has all the identifiers (including the openalex id I145311948) and additional information about this institution.
Ok, so this has been asked once before with no answers so i'll give it another bash..
On the eBay website one of the first things you do when listing an item is pass in a string which is the listing title. Given this title string, eBay will go and examine all the categories and pick out a short selection of categories where it thinks you listing will be best suited.
I need to use the bulk File Exchange API and need to find the best category programatically. How can I find the most appropriate categories using one of eBays APIs i.e. is there an API for that?
The only solution I have come up with is to get all the categories using those APIs, then traverse the every category performing some kind of ranking on my inputted listing title (cosine similarity or something).
Any ideas, thanks.
Sounds like you may be able to make use of GetSuggestedCategories.
From the documentation:
Specify keywords describing an item you are looking for using the
Query input field. GetSuggestedCategories returns a list of up to 10
categories that have the highest percentage of listings whose titles
or descriptions contains the specified keywords.
I have read the documentation on this without any luck. Basically what I want to accomplish, is being able to search after a term - say "food", and get back a list over places where you are likely to get/buy food. If I use the query in my request, it matches the search word against venue name, which is not what I want.
Any help on this would be greatly appreciated.
Which search endpoint are you trying to use, /venues/search or /venues/explore?
For your situation it sounds like you should use /venues/explore with a url param of section=food
I'm trying to query Picasa Web Albums to pull album/photo data (obviously!) however initially I only need to pull the first 4 photos. Is there any way to limit a particular field or specify the items per page?
I've already accomplished something similar with Facebook's Graph API however I'm unable to find anything similar for Picasa. The only items I can find related to limiting the response is specifying which fields, but nothing related to the number of rows.
Use max-results argument. See doc here.
https://developers.google.com/picasa-web/docs/2.0/reference#Parameters
i.e. searching by album and artist?
No I dont think so. You can use lookup to search for multiple ids
eg: http://itunes.apple.com/lookup?amgArtistId=468749,5723
