Is Facebook Analytics going away, after 30 June 2021? If yes, then do we have any alternative to explore the information and insights that are provided by Facebook Analytics API?
Yes it is, there will be no specific full-featured alternative.
I found this article that explains pretty well what are Facebook's existing alternatives for some of the analytics features.
other then that, there are (paid) 3rd party services that can do the job for you.
Also, you can check fb graph v11 blog post in which it is referred to.

As the title says, I'm trying to find a way to post these updates (see picture below) using google's API, I can't find anything about it. I have checked google's business API documentation and most of it's endpoints are deprecated.
At the top of the page there is a deprecation schedule: https://developers.google.com/my-business/content/sunset-dates
There you can find the new API-Endpoint. I'm also looking for a solution to update opening hours, but it's not that easy to find any information. Even bing is better documented.
I'm new to Instagram API and my question is how to get complete access to Instagram's API without any limitations - like API's that any other Third-Party Client Apps Like (6tag /ink361.com/insta(X))uses .i want to give my users complete access so they can (like - repost - regram - Edit - ...).
and as I read in the official documentation there is a Sandbox / Live Permission/Condition that developers can get to have that kind of Access.
If I understood you correctly, you are trying to built an app similar to the core functionalities of Instagram (or most of it!).
As you have said, they have introduced Sandbox features post November 17th, so any app created after that date will be running in Sandbox mode until you give it for a review.
Few things to note here:
They are restructuring their APIs, meaning there are lot more restrictions and validations!
I'm not sure, but if you search on Google about their restructuring of APIs, it clearly states that Instagram is trying to block an app which has most of the core functionalities of it - likes/posts/feeds etc. This is to secure their users' data and prevent malicious activities.
Most of the endpoints are restricted and some of the old ones are slowly being deprecated.
So, I guess from now on you can't build an app on Instagram which is similar to theirs. Regarding the existing apps which does the same, they have to remove those deprecated endpoints as these new features will be imposed on them post 2016!
At the moment, you can the endpoints available to you are documented on http://instagram.com/developer/endpoints/.
Hope it answers all your queries!
I might have overlooked this, but I'd like to implement Google Talk and Google Hangout on my site and I'm looking for some kind of (official, preferably PHP) API call that retrieves the online/offline contacts of a Google+ user. (similar to the list of online contacts next to Gmail)
Is this API functionality available and is it possible to provide the user with the option to select contact(s) to start a Google Hangout with?
To start, you're likely going to need to leverage a few different APIs. Since I cannot add a comment to ask questions, here's a recommended reading list based on my recent work with the Plus & Hangouts APIs:
Google Plus - https://developers.google.com/+/api/latest/people/list - Collect a list of people in your circles. This will not tell you who's online or offline. May be optional (see #2). Unfortunately, this call is not available yet in the PHP Client Library, so I created one for my personal project and am waiting on some vetting to submit it back to the Google project. If you're interested, I'd be happy to share.
Google Talk - https://developers.google.com/talk/ - Use that query the Talk service to see who's online and/or offline.
Starting a Hangout - Seems this discussion # the developer group is similar to your question and can best point you in a good starting direction. https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/google-plus-developers/r_f7iweZ7c8
Hope that helps & curious to hear how it goes!
This question is for anyone that used Google Analytic API on a commercial website.
For instance you have a website where members can upload music and pay for a membership to track via Analytics how many people visited their uploads.
Does Google allow to use the Analytics API for commercial use?
The Analytics API may be used for both commercial and noncommercial purposes in ways consistent with these API Terms.
http://code.google.com/apis/analytics/docs/gdata/gdataTermsOfService.html
Please refer to the lengthy Terms of Service :)
EDIT: As #yc pointed out, this is a question toward the the API (thanks btw).
While I don't think my original answer is totally correct, I think it is worth mentioning the "Privacy" paragraph in the "Regular" Analytics TOS:
PRIVACY . You will not (and will not allow any third party to) use the
Service to track or collect personally
identifiable information of Internet
users, nor will You (or will You allow
any third party to) associate any data
gathered from Your website(s) (or such
third parties' website(s)) with any
personally identifying information
from any source as part of Your use
(or such third parties' use) of the
Service. You will have and abide by an
appropriate privacy policy and will
comply with all applicable laws
relating to the collection of
information from visitors to Your
websites. You must post a privacy
policy and that policy must provide
notice of your use of a cookie that
collects anonymous traffic data.
I am by no means a lawyer, but just want to point out that you need to be careful about what data you collect. Especially when using Event Tracking and Custom Variables.
From the API page:
What does the Google Analytics Data
Export API cost?
The Google Analytics
Data Export API is free. We intend to
always provide a basic level of
service for free. As we continue to
build out more advanced features and
functionality, we may revisit this
later.
I want to build a service which needs to get this data from some source for further analysis. Does Google, Yahoo or someone else provides free access to this data for use in other websites using some API. I think Twitter does something like this for their data although they enforce some limits on this. The data I need is mostly for US and Canada.
Thanks,
Gary
