I would like to be able to use the API to filter my media, but haven't figured out the appropriate filters. The two filters I'm looking for are:
media from my phone/camera (essentially what's in my phone's "Gallery" app)
media from my partner's phone/camera (a special shared folder that, for some reason, doesn't show up on the list of shared folders)
Those are easy enough to do in the app, but I can't figure out how to do that via the API. Any/all help appreciated.

(New to StackOverflow; just joined the other day.I'm limited to 2 links I can post right now).
NOTE:
I have not YET decided/committed to any specific coding language, framework, etc. Not until I figure out how to accomplish my question (below).
BACKGROUND INFO
What I'm trying to do (for now) is add a "search-box/ search engine" to a simple website I'm building out. Before I get too far into it (planning ahead) I would like to use Google CSE if all possible (which can do A LOT of things and works well). However, I will have a database (not sure on type YET. Will depend on what my options and I can do with CSE) of "items" that I want to be able to quickly search (in the search-box) i.e. like Amazon.com.
QUESTION:
Is there any way at all, to use Google Custom Search and or Custom Search API to search/attach a database (SQL, NoSQL, or others)? I would HIGHLY prefer being able to do all of this in Google Cloud Platform, and use one of their storage/database products.
If I get what you try to do, Google CSE is enough.
From the google doc you linked :
#Defining a Custom Search Engine in Control Panel
In the Sites to search section, add the pages you want to include in
your search engine. You can include any sites you want, not just the
sites you own. You can include whole site URLs or individual pages
URLs. You can also use URL patterns.
#Enabling Autocomplete
[...]you can enable or disable autocomplete feature using
enableAutoComplete attribute.
For the Is there any way at all [..] to search a database, I'll said not directly, but it's not a big problem.
Google CSE work on "indexable web pages", so it'll not work again a raw DB, restricted internet, or custom network not under http(s)://.
But in your case, if you make a DB, I suppose you'll have to make web page to display the data you store inside to your users ? (like products pages on Amazon)
If yes, then you'll run Google CSE again these pages by adding your http://[server ip] or http://[domain name] in the white list.
As far as I know, custom search won't guarantee all your content will be indexed.
You probably want to try exporting a full sitemap.xml, a RSS feed and if the custom search results from either of these won't satisfy you, you will probably want to look at the google search appliance product.
There's also http://sphinxsearch.com/ by the way.
I've been looking at the Dropbox and Dropbox for Business API and I was trying to see if it would be possible to create a list of all the members and what shared folders they have access to.
I have found a project by Dropbox (Github Source) that lists all the shared folders and which people have access to them. I essentially want to do the opposite, list the users and what folders they have.
I have read through all the API (Core and Business) docs but can't seem to find a way to do it, unless I'm missing something. I also read about a preview of the new API, but again I don't think that is what I want.
Does anyone know if this can be done?
If I understand correctly what you're trying to do, you just need to call /shared_folders for each member of the team.
(You can list the members of the team via /team/members/list.)
I am reviewing Piranha CMS and really like the framework.
I am wondering how I can associate permissions to Regions and Media elements.
I was thinking that this may be easily accomplished through a custom extension but would like to know if this is the recommended approach.
What I'd like to do is to restrict rendering of a region if the current user's does not have access to it. I was thinking I may be able to add a group GUID as the permission property of the region extension. If the permission property is an empty GUID then it will render the region otherwise the current user must be a member of the group that the region is associated to.
I would like to do the same for Media elements.
Cheers

You could solve both the region & media question with a custom extension, however I'm not really sure I follow why you would need it for the page region.
As regions are merely considered a "part of a page" there's no way to customize security for a single regions, it is set on the complete page.
As media is usually rendered in some context, as a page, there's currently no security setting for uploaded media. This however is a feature that could be added into the core framework as it could make sense for some use-cases.

I am building an new web application and want to use Cloudinary for users' images. My question is that do I need to create folders in my Cloudinary cloud? The reason I am asking is that if I were using a file system and start having 100,000+ images in one folder, it will start killing my app, and I would need to break then into several folders.
Is it the same for Cloudinary?
Thanks,
It depends on your current and future requirements.
In general, I believe that folders can help with better organizing your resources, especially when there are lots of them.
Note that besides folders, you can also assign tags to your images (e.g., by user) or add a prefix to the images' public IDs (e.g., user1-<image_name>).
You can later use Cloudinary's Admin API to list your resources either by folder/prefix or by tag.
I would like to retrieve HTML content from DNN through the API for an entire page for an anonymous or authenticated user. This content will include all the content for the page, including menu items, etc.
To illustrate what I'm trying to accomplish, I can fake this by instantiating a browser and navigating to the page, harvesting the HTML from the browser. However, I would like to retrieve this from the API directly to improve the performance. Also, I would like to do this all in the context of the user.
Thanks for any help.

Given the way that DNN pieces together the content on a module-by-module basis, within each pane. And the fact that the skin is a separate piece and it has individual skin objects that render object-by-object.
There is not an API that will do this. ALl of this logic, to a certain point is contained within default.aspx, but you would be seriously reinventing the wheel trying to do this.
If you need the full HTML, with all skin elements etc. The fastest way is to use an HttpWebRequest to make the call. It is super fast, and would be far more stable version to version.
