Is there an API that gives you near realtime stock portfolio holdings? - api

I am trying to find an API similar to https://plaid.com/ that allows users to connect to multiple brokerages and return security holding information. The issue with Plaid seems to be that they only provide updates once a day and I am looking for something more "real time."
Has anyone come across another service like this that provides up-to-date information on your portfolio?

Getting a list of Hotels availability information from booking.com connect API

We do marketing solutions for our hotel clients. For that matter, we need to know their room availability. it would be easier to collect such information from booking.com cause all our clients use booking OTA, other than connecting API directly to each of them.
My question is: Can we get other hotels' availability from booking.com Connect API?
OR is there any other GDS solution we can get booking.com existing data, like Sabre?
In order to achieve what you want, Aggregators must be enabled in your PCC; in the documentation, there is a special field to enter the Aggregator number so that using this, you can retrieve the information from various hospitality sources.

Is there an API or other data source for FlightRadar24 aircraft flight path?

I would like to know if there is an API that gives freely the flight paths of all aircraft currently flying or that had flight some days ago over the world. It could be in any projection and any format. I imagine that it would be most likely a table with each row being an aircraft/flight and the correspondent geopath in one column.
Thanks.
I was looking around for the same topic.
The terms and conditions for getting data from Flightradar24 are shown there
https://www.flightradar24.com/terms-and-conditions
... they talk only about getting data after a business contract on the kind of data (e.g. flights with a specific filtering) and on the format (JSON, CSV, ?). With the contract one may download the data, maybe via an API.
My conclusion: Flightradar24 does not share its full set of data, only a limited set with payment.
Searching for "Flightradar24 API" you will find some sites offering Flightradar24 data via their own API primarily requiring payment, a few for free at a very low level.
You will also find some software projects for accessing and processing data from the Flightradar24 sites with a focus on Python. But these software packages build on tracking the access of the Flightradar24 site from a mobile app or the desktop browser. Result: a few accesses of an endpoint may work then comes the stop sign: Flightradar requires an authenticated access.

Fedex Developer Rest API Ship API

I am trying to play around with FedEx APIs: https://developer.fedex.com/api/en-us/home.html
and actually I would like to know, is it possible to track new created Shipment via Ship API on sandbox/test environment?
Actually I've tried to create multiple different types of Shipments validate them, and received 200 Ok response, however I wasn't able to track it by tracking number returned in response, so the question is it possible at all on API sandbox environment to create Shipment and find it by tracking number on FedEx site or using Track API's Track by Number Endpoint.
Cannot find such limitations in documentation, so will be very appreciated if someone can shed light on this.
I think it's not possible to track with the tracking IDs which you get from ship API.
But you can track the orders with the mock tracking numbers from here.
It's really very irritating because when we get the tracking IDs in the test environment, we should be able to track the orders by using them in the test environment. FedEx should have to focus on this.

How to get a rout information with trafic flow information included for a past date?

I am trying to use Azure Maps API. It will be nice to have route information which should include the locations of course and a speed profile. As you can understand speed profile is not an east one. Free flow speed profile is ok. But we want to simulate real-world conditions meaning that we want to select date and time of departure to get accurate speed information as close to as possible to a real world traffic influence.
Is there any feature that Azure provide this? If not, which API can provide this
I don't have any code at this moment to show since ı don't know which API to use.
Historical traffic data is not currently available in Azure Maps but is being investigated as a potential future feature.

What do the Google Analytics related API's buy me that the Google Analytics UI cannot achieve?

Long time ago, I took and passed the Google Analytics IQ certification test. At the time, I don't believe there were such things as Core Reporting API, Management API, and Metadata API (and probably some other Google Analytics related API's that I don't know about). Now that I am going through the Google Analytics IQ certification training course again (provided by Google, presented by Justin Curtoni?? I believe that's his name), I found that they now have Core Reporting API, Management API, and Metadata API.
I am a computer programmer by trade; so, I have no problem with programming using these API's. However, what I don't understand is, what do these API's buy me that the Google Analytics UI cannot offer? There is no reason to write a program that utilizes these API's simply because I can do it. To me, the existing Google Analytics UI has a lot of tools, reports, and other features that quite extensive. I am hoping that some of you can help me see something that I am probably missing.
The APIs are primarily for programmatic access. For example, if you need to create 1000 accounts all with the same property/view structure and then maybe add a few view filters to each of those accounts, you'll probably want to use the Management API. Doing that by hand would be a nightmare.
The same thing is true for the reporting API. Maybe you want to set up task that runs every monday morning and reports on the previous weeks data. And maybe you want to display that data on an internal dashboard for your company using some fancy charting library. You'd have to use the API to get the data.
Dashboards (executive summaries; managers often want nice visualizations instead of boring drill-downs)
Custom reports for user groups that do not have a Google Account or are not supposed to have access to full reports (e.g. Affiliates)
advanced filtering and aggregation (GA report cannot do everything)
You can combine analytics data with external data (e.g. you are not allowed to store personally identifiable information within GA; but you might store a custom key that allows you to link analytics data to customer data from you CRM or fulfillment system)
Machine-to-machine communication; I once did tracking for an airline that needed trend data on what people where searching for and what they where actually booking; that data was used to allocate/withdraw resources from busy/lame flights, and part of this was done by hooking up GA to their backend system
Take a look at the GA Partner Page. I would say the primary reason is to "liberate" GA Data from outside of GA itself. As Eike mentions, you can create dashboards and combine this data with other sources for a complete "View" of your online presence.
HI I guess there is no definite answer. Here are some things you can do with the APIs:
Automating AdWords CRO based on keyword ad and campaign performance.
Scoring leads based on Analytics data (Engagement with different items) and external data from a CRM.
Collecting unsampled data using multiple daily queries
Filtering using several dimension.
Tracking conversions for periods longer than supported by AdWords.
Looking at a funnel via segments
Analyzing funnels with non-linear structures
Create more robust alerts
Export data to BigQuery and analyse it together with data from other systems.
Create Machine learning apps for behavioural customizing your site.
Create a dashboard with data from multiple views
Use product recommendation to implements "better together" in an online store.
Automate creation of accounts and properties + their integration in a Hosting provider's console.
Cheers!!
