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.

So I have a client that wants to do a Google Ad campaign for certain locations. From what we gathered, you can set up location of interest and pass on a parameter {loc_physical_ms} that can be used to get some details based on that ID. My question is, how do I access that info? Is it by using an API? I did looked at the reference here:
https://developers.google.com/adwords/api/docs/appendix/geotargeting
But it is not explained how I can use that ID on my website to get something like the ZIP code and city of the click. I been looking around, but to no avail. Any suggestion is welcome.
Thanks in advance!
Ok, found the solution. So for anyone that may come across this, that link I have above provides you with a CSV with the latest Geo Target list. I was under the impression that Google would provide an API for us to use, but that is not the case here. You will have to import that data into your database, and then use it from there. So once you have that data in your database, you can then just make a query that will use the ID from the parameter {loc_physical_ms} from the database as reference for your query.
I am trying to get the twitter name, website, and markets for any cryptocurrency listed on coinmarketcap.
For example:
https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/bitcoin shows all of the data that I need but how would I parse the data listed on that page to get the twitter name and website associated with bitcoin?
Don't try to parse the data on that page if you are trying to use it in an application. If you are doing it for a one time data collection then maybe that is OK. There is absolutely no guarantee that the format will remain consistent or that the information will even be there tomorrow.
You should try to find an API that gives you the information that you are looking for. An API is a contract that is expected to be honored and therefore is reliable. A quick look at CoinMarketCap's API doesn't appear to have the info you are looking for but maybe another one exists that does.
If you were to parse the HTML you could write a regex for the specific thing you are looking for. For example if you want to get the website you could write a regex that would pick up the pattern:
Website
the capture group ([^"]+) is the website in this example. You could do something like that for every element you want to get.
I've just started looking at the documentation as we are going to need to integrate Salesforce with Social Tables shortly, so I am really new to Social Tables.
Specifically, we will need to sync data between the CRM and Social Tables Events and Guests, and maybe other objects, so it would be very helpful to have a data model or similar to check the relationships and fields available in Social Tables architecture.
I haven't found anything in the documentation, is there any way to get this, even if it's at a high level?
Thanks
Danny
To make an integration with SocialTables you'll have to do a few manual steps, there is no way to do this completely programmatic from my experience. You'll also have to be prepared to contact SocialTables to get get correct guestlist ids. Also keep in mind that the API documentation isn't always correct, the API logic is also quite difficult to understand from time to time.
The first thing you need to do is figure out which version of the Venue Mapper you use. You'd want to use the 4.0 api and as far as I know this version of the api is only supported by Venue Mapper 3.0. I believe the Venue Mapper 3.0 is the frontend tool SocialTables provides to do the venue planning.
In social tables an event has two ids, one numerical one and one alpha-numerical one, when you use the 4.0/events endpoint you only get the alpha-numerical event id, and your going to need the numerical one. The only way I've been able to get the numerical id is to pull it out from the url when using the Venue Mapper, example of the url follows below:
https://plan.socialtables.com/team/{team_id}/event/{event_id}/space/{space_id}
Now you need to get the guestlist id, you can get that by using the following url, using the numerical event id:
GET https://api.socialtables.com/4.0/diagrams?event={numerical_event_id}
This endpoint return a json structure where one of the parameters is "guestlist_id".
Please be aware that the guestlist id you get from this endpoint might not be the correct one. I struggled quite a bit with this part and ended up with SocialTables sending me the guestlist id by email.
To get the guests in your guestlist use the following api endpoint:
GET https://api.socialtables.com/4.0/guestlists/{guestlist_id}
The {guestlist_id} is an alpha-numerical string similar to: cfdac1c0-yb1d-12e6-84a5-a39e92131645
And by that you should hopefully get access to your guests.
Hey thanks for using our API.
To answer your question, the best way to see the data model at the moment is to access our developer portal and use the API console to see what is returned. For events you will need to know the team id of the team you are working with use the team events endpoint to get access to the event ids.
https://developer.socialtables.com/api-console#!/Events/get_4_0_legacyvm3_teams_team_events
This will return some basic information about each event for that team. You can then request additional details for specific events by using this endpoint:
https://developer.socialtables.com/api-console#!/Events/get_4_0_legacyvm3_events_event
QuickBooks Online (QBO) uses a URL format like qbo.intuit.com/app/timeactivity?txnId=123 to point to, in this example, a TimeActivity.
However, in the API, resources are referenced by entityId (returned as just Id when querying via the TimeActivity API), which is different from txnId.
In my time tracking web app, I have a feature that exports time to QBO as TimeActivities. I'd like to provide users with direct links from the time entered in my app to the corresponding TimeActivity in QBO—is there any way to do so?
The answer to this is that it's not currently possible because there's multiple base URLs (I think they call them "realms") in use for QuickBooks Online (qbo.intuit.com is only one of them). Because you do not receive this information as part of linking to QBO via OAuth, there's unfortunately no way to construct proper links.
Yes, when creating a successful TimeActivity you will receive back an Id, which I assume you are persisting.
That Id can be used to query QBO in a simple GET request.
<baseURL>/company/{companyID}/timeactivity/{timeactivityId}
Using the Souncloud API, I'd like to retrieve the reposted tracks from my activities. The /me/activities endpoint seems suited for this and I tried the different types provided.
However, I didn't find out how to get that data. Does anyone know?
Replace User Id, limit and offset with what you need:
https://api-v2.soundcloud.com/profile/soundcloud:users:41691970?limit=50&offset=0
You could try the following approach:
Get the users that shared a track via /tracks/{id}/shared-to/users endpoint.
Fetch the tracks postet by this user via /tracks endpoint, as the _user_id_ is contained.
Compare the tracks metadata with the one you originally posted.
I am not into the Soundcloud API, but taking a close look at it seems to make this approach at least as technical possible, though e.g. fetching all tracks won't be a production solution, of course. It's more a hint. Perhaps reposting means something totally different in this context.
And the specified entpoint exists in the general api doc, so I don't know if you would have to extend the java-api-wrapper for using it.
