I would like to get toll costs for a pre-determined route using GPS coordinates and not link ID's. I would like to use this request for I have the route the driver already took:
https://tce.api.here.com/2/tollcost.json
?app_id={YOUR_APP_ID}
&app_code={YOUR_APP_CODE}
&tollVehicleType=3
&vehicleNumberAxles=2
&emissionType=6
&height=3.5m
&vehicleWeight=10.0t
&limitedWeight=10.0t
&passengersCount=1
&tiresCount=8
&route=748873330,50;68614309,40;17357322,30;748938713,20;76719821,10;17357323,0
&detail=1
In the route section; how can I use only GPS coordinates?
With the Toll Cost Extension API, you can only specify the link IDs for the route parameter. You may want to use the Fleet Telematics API which gives you more flexibility in the toll cost calculation.

I could not find the fare rule information in the response of flight search API and flight offer price API (self-service).
According to the swagger (provided in the document), such information should be in offer.fareRules. Do you have any idea to fetch this information? Because I'd like to fetch the information such as refund, exchange etc. Thanks
In the Flight Offers Price API you need to use the query parameter include with the value detailed-fare-rules
For example:
https://test.api.amadeus.com/v1/shopping/flight-offers/pricing?include=detailed-fare-rules
You will get the detailed-fare-rules as part of the response into included:
I want to get minimal information of a Wikipedia page using MediaWiki API like DuckDuckGo. For example for Steve Carell: https://duckduckgo.com/?q=steve+carell&t=hp&ia=news&iax=about
How can I get this information with a Wikipedia url (eg https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steve_Carell) in HTML format?
You can use the MediaWiki API for that. There's an extension, TextExtracts, which is exactly for that (and it is installed on Wikipedia).
In your case, e.g.:
https://en.wikipedia.org/w/api.php?action=query&prop=extracts&exsentences=1&titles=Steve%20Carell
will return something like:
<p class=\"mw-empty-elt\">\n</p>\n\n<p class=\"mw-empty-elt\">\n \n</p>\n<p><b>Steven John Carell</b> (<span></span>; born August 16, 1962) is an American actor, comedian, producer, writer and director.</p>
You can customize how many sentences (or characters) the API returns, as well, please consult the API documentation for that.
There's also the way to retrieve the short description, which is saved at Wikidata (and visible in the mobile view of Wikipedia). This call would be:
https://en.wikipedia.org/w/api.php?action=query&prop=pageprops&titles=Steve_Carell
This returns the following property in the pageprops of the page:
"wikibase-shortdesc": "American actor"
This may fit better depending on your use case.
You can even get both of the results with a single, combined, request:
https://en.wikipedia.org/w/api.php?action=query&prop=extracts|pageprops&exsentences=1&titles=Steve_Carell
I'm using the Dark Sky Forecast API to retrieve some weather information.
When I read the official doc, I found that the "option" section describes the usage of query parameters.
For example,
The API request may optionally be modified through the use of query parameters. It will respond to the following:
callback=[callback]: Return the API response as JSONP. Please use
caution when using this, since exposing your API key to the public is
a security hazard and, if abused, will result in the revokation of
your API key. However, if developing a personal- or internal-use app,
this is a convenient method of doing so.
units=[setting]: Return the
API response in units other than the default Imperial units. In
particular, the following settings are possible:
us: The default, as outlined above.
si: Returns results in SI units. In particular, properties now have the following units:
...
I know how to get the weather information by take advantages of the call
https://api.forecast.io/forecast/APIKEY/LATITUDE,LONGITUDE
But I don't know how to combine the query parameters with it.
Any ideas?
2015/10/23 UPDATE
Thank to Logan Kearns, using ? parameter solved my question. Make sure the query parameters are in lowercase.
https://api.forecast.io/forecast/APIKEY/LATITUDE,LONGITUDE?lang=zh-tw&units=si
This is how you change the units. I assume that other query parameters would be set in a similar manner, using the '?' to separate them.
https://api.forecast.io/forecast/APIKEY/LATITUDE,LONGITUDE?UNITS=us
Just an update, since url changed and with few other parameters:
You can add units to mention the type of unit conversion required
You can add exclude for excluding certain data in the response like hourly updates.
https://api.darksky.net/forecast/APIKEY/LAT,LONG?units=si&exclude=minutely,hourly,daily,alerts
I am entirely new to API, so sorry if the question is silly.
I would like to get all images in a category in Commons let's say X, but exclude those which are also in another one (Y). I do not understand if I can actually do this.
https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/api.php?action=query&list=categorymembers&cmtype=file&cmtitle=Category:X
will get all of them, how to exclude some?
moreover I would like in the result to have the description of the images, not just the name of the file, is that possible?
MediaWiki has - by default - no built-in support for category building and querying intersections. To accomplish this task, extensions or external tools or multiple API queries and result processing is required.
CirrusSearch API
On Wikimedia Commons, like on the whole Wikimedia Wiki farm, CirrusSearch powers filtered search, including search for category intersections and is also available through API (action=query&list=search&srsearch=incategory:A+-incategory:B, this is Category:A minus Category:B).
FastCCI
One of the tools I can recommend (because it's a dedicated high-performance solution and actually running) is fastcci, developed by Daniel Schwen; specifically for Wikimedia Commons, there is already a database maintained and a webservice running but it's possible to set it up for any wiki, provided the tool set has a host to run on and has database access.
Query
Consider the following query URL:
https://fastcci.wmflabs.org/?c1=3302993&c2=15516712&d1=0&d2=0&s=200&a=not&t=js
https://fastcci.wmflabs.org/ - Host Wikimedia Commons fastcci runs on
c1 - ID of category 1
c2 - ID of category 2
d1 - depth of category 1 to search in (fastcci by default considers sub-categories)
d2 - depth of category 2 to search in (fastcci by default considers sub-categories)
s - Number or results to return
o - Offset
a - conjunction
t - connection type (t=js for a JSONP response; otherwise assumes being used as websocket)
Response
fastcciCallback( [ 'RESULT 27572680,0,0|1675043,0,0|27577015,0,0|27577043,0,0|27577106,0,0|27576896,0,0|27576790,0,0|23481936,0,0|17560964,0,0|11009066,0,0', 'OUTOF 10', 'DBAGE 378310', 'DONE'] );
RESULT followed by a | separated list of up to 50 integer triplets of the form pageId,depth,tag. Each triplet stands for one image or category

Sample client side implementation - to see it in action, just visit any category and next to the Good pictures button in any category page.
Example is FilesOf('Category:Saaleck') - FilesOf('Category:Rapeseed fields in Saxony-Anhalt')

A note on pageIDs
page IDs → page titles: GET /w/api.php?action=query&pageids=page_IDs_separated_by_pipe
page titles → page IDs: GET /w/api.php?action=query&titles=Titles_separated_by_pipe
AFAIK, there is no way to get that directly using the API. But, assuming both categories are reasonably small, you could get all images from both of them and then compute the complement in your code.
To retrieve the description, you can use prop=imageinfo&iiprop=extmetadata&iiextmetadatafilter=ImageDescription.
In the context of your example query, it would look like this:
https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/api.php?action=query&generator=categorymembers&gcmtype=file&gcmtitle=Category:X&prop=imageinfo&iiprop=extmetadata&iiextmetadatafilter=ImageDescription
I'm using this API call to Google Maps to get the latitude and longitude of a postal code
http://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/geocode/json?address=2340&sensor=false
The postal code is in Australia. This API call returns locations all around the world with partial matching postal codes in the address.
Is there a parameter I can use to set the country to Australia?
Thanks
The correct way to do this is not via region biasing but rather using component filtering:
https://maps.google.com/maps/api/geocode/json
?components=country:AU|postal_code:2340
&sensor=false
Some demonstrations:
2340
93274
Please note that if you use the components parameter, you don't need to specify the address parameter.
The documentation says that Region Biasing is based on CcTLDs, which would make Australia au (haven't tried it myself).
Although it also states this:
Note that biasing only prefers results for a specific domain; if more relevant results exist outside of this domain, they may be included.
